Who is a Good Candidate for Weight Loss Body Contouring Surgery?

Men and women who have lost a significant amount of weight and are bothered by excess skin can often benefit from weight loss surgery. Ideal candidates are non-smokers who will be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after surgery, have reached a stable weight for at least 6 months, and are not planning on losing a significant amount of weight after surgery. Overall, the best way to determine if this procedure is right for you is to schedule a consultation appointment at our office.

The Weight Loss Body Contouring Surgery Procedure

Regardless of your procedure, weight loss body contouring surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on which procedures you have chosen to have, the surgical steps may differ. Body contouring after massive weight loss requires extensive incisions to effectively remove large areas of unwanted loose skin. Liposuction can also be used to eliminate excess pockets of fat and contour the body to a desirable shape. Sutures will be used to close incisions, and surgical drains may be placed to collect excess fluid during recovery.

Consultation - I have been wanting a boob job since I breastfed my twins 5 years ago. Immediately upon my consultation, the office felt like home. The front desk girl, Kelsie (sp?) was so cheerful and greeted me immediately. I was brought into a room to meet the doc first and discuss my wishes, before going to the exam room. The exam room was clean and bright. I loved my goody bag I received.”

Weight Loss Body Contouring Surgery Recovery

Following your surgery, your overall expected healing time will depend on the procedures performed. Procedures involving removing excess skin around the trunk typically involve drains which are removed over a period of 1-2 weeks. You will be required to wear compression garments for several months to help with the swelling of the surgical sites.  Over time, your incisions will continue to heal, and your results will become more noticeable as swelling reduces. Our team will provide you with specific post-surgery instructions on how to properly care for your surgical areas..
