After dramatic weight loss, regardless of the method used, your skin may not shrink to fit the new you because it loses its elasticity over time. After undergoing this process, many individuals may still be left with folds of skin and stubborn pockets of fat. Body contouring can help get rid of excess skin and any fat left from your weight loss journey. Moreover, surgical body contouring can dramatically enhance your body’s shape to match the result you’ve been seeking.
What Are Body Contouring Procedures?
At Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a variety of body contouring procedures, including the following:
- Arms lift – addresses sagging skin under the upper arms
- Facelift – tightens the neck, mid-face, and jowls for a more youthful appearance
- Breast lift – improves the position and shape of the breasts
- Tummy tuck – removes the apron of excess skin that hangs over the abdomen
- Lower body lift – addresses multiple concerns surrounding the inner thighs, outer thighs, buttocks, and the abdomen
Candidates for Body Contouring
Good candidates for body contouring have stabilized weight loss and are healthy without medical conditions that make surgery a higher risk. They are also nonsmokers and those who are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle, including proper fitness and nutrition.
What to Expect at a Body Contouring Consultation
When you have your initial body contouring consultation, you should be prepared to discuss several factors, including your cosmetic surgical goals, medical conditions, previous medical treatments, drug allergies, and any current medications you are on, including herbal supplements. You should also be prepared to discuss drug use, alcohol use, and tobacco use, as these factors can potentially impact the risks involved in surgery.
Your surgeon will have a thorough discussion with you about the available options and recommend the most suitable procedures based on this information. They will also keep you informed of likely outcomes, risks, and potential complications.
