Post Weight Loss Cosmetic Surgery

You have shed pounds and pounds and now you want to get rid of that droopy skin once and for all. There are various body shaping procedures that cosmetic surgeons can perform, to uncover the body you've worked so hard to obtain.

Body contouring is also ideal for mothers following pregnancy or after a surgical procedure such as a gastric bypass operation.

Some body contouring procedures include:

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) - Any skin causing the abdomen to protrude is removed. The remaining skin is tightened to the muscles of the abdomen wall.
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) - Flaps of loose skin are removed around the arm, resulting in a sleeker, more toned appearance.
Thighplasty (Hip and Thigh Lift) - Loose skin is removed around the hips and thigh - one of the primary regions where fat is stored.
Neck Lift - Hangs of skin are removed from the front of the neck, eliminating any double chin and giving your face a slimmer appearance.
Liposuction - This procedure is used to remove small remaining amounts of fatty tissue from your hips, thighs, and abdomen to create smooth, sleek contours.
Breast Lift and Augmentation - Since your breasts are mainly fatty tissue, their appearance can be greatly affected by weight loss. Breast augmentation and breast lifts can help restore your natural breast volume and lift your bustline following weight loss.
