Body Contouring Post Massive Weight Loss at Iteld Plastic Surgery

This patient had Dr. Iteld perform post massive weight loss surgery, which included abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with liposuction, breast augmentation and breast lift.

Massive weight loss is a significant accomplishment. However, to varying degrees, dealing with loose, excess skin is one challenge all patients face afterwards. This is where body contouring offers a way to enhance your appearance, comfort, and confidence post-weight loss.

Why all the loose skin

When you gain weight, your skin stretches to accommodate the increase in volume. After weight loss, especially when it’s substantial, your skin may not shrink back to match your new body size due to loss of elasticity. Many factors — age, genetics, duration of obesity, and how much weight you lost —influence the amount of excess skin you may have. For some, the loose skin may cause chafing, rashes, discomfort, and even mobility issues.

You did the hard work losing all that weight. What you didn’t lose is the extra skin. Time to fix that excess skin, too!!

Understanding body contouring

Body contouring reshapes areas of your body to achieve a smoother, more natural silhouette. After you lost a significant amount of weight, I focus these procedures on removing excess skin and tightening the remaining skin and underlying tissues. 

Massive weight loss procedures I perform include some or all of these:

• Tummy tuck
• Liposuction
• Breast Augmentation
• Breast Lift
• Body Lift
• Arm Lift
• Thigh Lift

Benefits of body contouring

Body contouring surgery gives patients the ability to enjoy improved health, increased energy, and boosted confidence.

• Improved Health: Excess skin can lead to hygiene challenges and skin issues, such as infections or rashes in skin folds. By removing this skin, body contouring surgery can help alleviate these problems, contributing to better physical health.
• Improved Comfort and Mobility: Excess skin can restrict your movements, causing discomfort during daily activities or exercise. Removing this excess skin and contouring the body enhances comfort and improves freedom of movement, all which lead to a more active lifestyle.
• Boosted Confidence and Body Image: Massive weight loss often brings about a new sense of self-confidence, but loose skin can hinder your ability to fully embrace the new you. Body contouring helps achieve a smoother silhouette, allowing you to feel more comfortable in your skin and confident in your appearance.

Time to lose that excess skin 

Body contouring after massive weight loss is a very personal decision that can provide you with life-changing results. By removing excess skin and reshaping your body, these procedures can help you embrace your new body and lead a more active, fulfilling life.
