Patients who have experienced dramatic weight loss, whether naturally or through bariatric surgery, are sometimes left with excess skin on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and elsewhere. There are several body contouring procedures that can eliminate excess skin, including a tummy tuck, breast lift, thigh lift, arm lift, lower body lift, or a total body lift. We also offer several non- and minimally invasive options for body sculpting and skin tightening. Dr. Eliopoulos finds it rewarding to help patients transform their bodies after weight loss. One of her patients says tummy tuck and breast surgery made a "huge difference" in her confidence. This is so true for many patients, who find these procedures truly life-changing.
Following months or years of intense and dedicated exercise and dietary changes, or following a medical procedure that has resulted in massive weight loss, the results may not always be what you expected. Even by exercising and following strict dietary restrictions, many patients find it extremely difficult to eliminate the sagging and drooping of loose skin.
This is where body contouring comies in. Finally achieving a trimmer and more contoured appearance can deliver the boost of confidence and positive self-image that was your ultimate desire when you began your weight loss journey.
If you have made great strides in your weight loss journey but are having a difficult time refining your figure, please contact us to learn how Dr. Eliopoulos can help you achieve your goals. During your initial consultation, Dr. Eliopoulos will learn about your weight loss journey and provide personalized recommendations based on your body contouring goals. She may recommend a combination of procedures to achieve the most comprehensive results. If you are ready to take the next step in your wellness journey, call our office or complete our online form to schedule your consultation today.
Each body contouring procedure is personalized to the patient’s individual needs. After learning about your weight loss journey and current aesthetic goals, Dr. Eliopoulos will conduct a physical examination. Then she will help you select the best surgical approaches for your specific needs. We emphasize a well-informed process, educating you about pre-operative guidelines, the details of your specific procedure, aftercare requirements, and the results you can achieve with body contouring after weight loss.
Diet, exercise, and major medical procedures such as bariatric surgery and medically guided pharmacologic weight loss injections are all great options for losing unwanted fat. With the proper regimen and dedication, patients can achieve massive weight loss and dramatically reduce their body fat.
However, during substantial weight gain, the skin also stretches and begins to lose some of its elasticity. Once the weight is lost, the skin remains stretched, causing it to sag and droop. Resistance training can help build muscle, helping to slightly improve your appearance, but optimal results may be impossible to achieve without surgical treatment.
The best candidates for body contouring procedures after weight loss are individuals who are healthy non-smokers, are at or near their goal weight, and are committed to living a healthy lifestyle. Ideally, your weight should have remained stable for at least six months. Body contouring is not a weight loss method. Rather, these procedures reduce excess skin and localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, can also tighten lax abdominal muscles, such as diastasis recti resulting from a pregnancy.
For some patients, a single procedure may be sufficient, or several surgeries may be combined for comprehensive effects. Some common procedures include a tummy tuck, breast lift, various body lifts, liposuction, and other body contouring procedures.
Body contouring procedures permanently remove excess skin and fat. However, your results can change with weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, and the natural aging process. Eating right, exercising, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help you maintain your results. In fact, many people find that body contouring motivates them to live a more active lifestyle.
Body contouring procedures are customized to your needs and goals, meaning the cost can vary. At your consultation, Dr. Eliopoulos can help you navigate your options, and her Surgical Coordinator will then provide you with a quote for your procedure.
Each treatment plan will be customized depending on the size of the affected areas, how much weight you lost, and which procedures will benefit you the most. Dr. Eliopoulos will discuss the recovery phase for your personalized surgery during your consultation.
In addition to improved confidence and a more attractive appearance, these procedures can also minimize the chafing and infection that can result from excess skin. You may also find it easier to be physically active, further aiding you in sticking to a healthy lifestyle.
