Reaching a significant weight-loss goal can be life-changing, but you may find your body doesn’t fully reflect how far you have come. Stretched skin and stubborn pockets of tissue can remain even after the weight is gone. Body contouring after significant weight loss can address several areas, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, buttocks, and lower body, helping create smoother, more balanced contours.
At Naples Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Andrew Turk takes time to discuss each patient’s surgical and non-surgical options and uses advanced Vectra 3D imaging to help patients visualize potential outcomes. As an American Board of Plastic Surgery-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Turk performs facial and body procedures in a state-of-the-art, accredited surgical facility designed with patient comfort, privacy, and safety in mind.
Abdomen and Waist
The abdomen is one of the most commonly affected areas during major weight loss. Loose skin may hang over the lower abdomen, and weakened abdominal tissues can contribute to a less-defined midsection. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the abdomen for a firmer contour.
Upper Arms and Thighs
Skin on the upper arms may lose its ability to retract after substantial weight loss, creating a loose or sagging appearance. An arm lift removes excess skin and reshapes the upper arms.
Similar changes may occur along the inner and outer thighs. Thigh lift surgery can address loose tissue to create smoother leg proportions.
Breasts and Chest
Weight loss can reduce breast volume and stretch the surrounding skin. Depending on your anatomy and goals, a breast lift may reposition and reshape the breasts, while augmentation may be considered when additional volume is desired.
Men may also develop loose skin or residual tissue around the chest following substantial weight loss.
Lower Body and Buttocks
Excess skin can extend around the hips, buttocks, and lower back. A lower body lift may address several of these areas together, helping improve the overall shape of the lower torso.
Because everyone loses weight differently, the right combination of procedures depends on where loose skin remains, your health, and your personal goals.
