Achieve a Smoother, Firmer Body After Weight Loss

Body contouring after weight loss is a set of surgical procedures that remove excess, sagging skin and tissue that often remain after significant weight loss. This can occur after bariatric surgery, pregnancy, or intense dieting and exercise. Procedures such as tummy tucks, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and liposuction can help reshape and tighten areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks, allowing you to fully appreciate the results of your weight loss.

You May Consider Body Contouring After Weight Loss If:

  • You have lost a significant amount of weight through surgery, diet, or exercise
  • You experience excess, sagging skin that doesn’t conform to your new shape
  • You feel frustrated with the remaining loose skin on your abdomen, arms, or thighs
  • You have been unable to improve your body shape through exercise or diet alone
  • You want to feel more comfortable in your clothes
  • You’ve reached a stable weight and are maintaining it consistently
  • You want to improve the overall tone and tightness of your body
  • You are ready to complete your weight loss journey with surgical refinement

Your Body Contouring After Weight Loss Options at NYGPS

At the New York Group for Plastic Surgery, we understand the challenges that accompany significant weight loss. While losing weight is an incredible achievement, it often leaves behind loose, sagging skin that can hinder your ability to enjoy your transformation. Dr. Jacobs and his team offer a variety of body contouring procedures to help you refine your shape and achieve the smooth, toned body you desire. Here are some of the body contouring options available at NYGPS:

Body Lift:

A body lift targets the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, and outer thighs, removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue. This procedure enhances your overall shape, providing a smoother appearance. It is ideal for patients who have undergone significant weight loss and are experiencing loose skin in multiple areas of the body.

Arm Lift:

An arm lift addresses loose skin and tissue in the upper arms, often referred to as “bat wings.” The surgery involves incisions along the back of the arms, from the elbow to the armpit, to remove excess skin and tighten the area. This procedure can help restore more defined, youthful-looking arms and improve your comfort in sleeveless clothing.

Thigh Lift:

A thigh lift targets the groin and inner thigh area, eliminating sagging skin and reshaping the thighs for a tighter, more toned look. This procedure can significantly enhance the contour of your lower body and help restore balance after weight loss. It’s perfect for those who struggle with loose skin in the thigh area.

Liposuction:

Liposuction can be used to eliminate isolated fat deposits from areas such as the arms, chin, thighs, or hips that may not respond to exercise or diet. This procedure helps sculpt and contour your body, refining your silhouette after weight loss. It is often combined with other body contouring treatments for more comprehensive results.

Tummy Tuck:

A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, which can become weakened after weight loss or pregnancy. This procedure helps flatten the abdomen and contours the waistline for a smoother, more defined look. It is particularly beneficial for patients with loose skin in the abdominal area.

Your consultation with Dr. Jacobs begins with a detailed discussion about your weight loss journey and the areas where you’re looking to see improvement.

He will take the time to understand your goals, whether it’s tightening, reshaping, or removing excess skin, and help you identify the best options for you.

To help you visualize the potential outcomes, Dr. Jacobs utilizes advanced 3D imaging technology, which enables you to see the results of various procedures. This innovative tool provides a clearer picture of how your body could look after surgery.
