The results of post-weight loss plastic surgery are visible almost immediately. However, it may take up to a year or more for the final results of all the surgical procedures to fully develop. Careful and personalized medical surgical planning is required.

​

Plastic surgery after dramatic weight loss reduces excess skin and fat left behind after major weight loss. Its goal is to restore attractive proportions by removing the sagging skin around the face, neck, upper arms, breasts, abdomen, buttocks and thighs that creates a misshapen contour. Although these procedures leave scars, most patients find them to be an acceptable trade-off for an improved appearance.

​

Visible scars from surgery will remain, although they will fade over time to become less noticeable. The overall results of post-weight loss plastic surgery are long lasting if you maintain a stable weight and general, overall fitness.

 

Popular post-weight loss procedures include: full body lift, tummy tuck, mons lift, thigh lift, arm lift, breast lift (with or without augmentation), face/neck lift, and liposuction. 

​

Your surgeon will suggest the procedures that will help you reach your goals, and will give you a realistic picture of what those procedures can do for you. Sometimes multiple procedures can be performed at the same time, while, other times,  staggered approach may be recommended, because each procedure can impact the outcome of the next.
