Body Contouring After Weight Loss

If you’ve recently dropped a lot of weight, it might be a good time to consider body contouring after weight loss, and there are several great procedures to choose from. Any amount of weight loss is a major accomplishment, and one of the best ways to celebrate this accomplishment is to have your problem areas contoured. Lifestyle changes or surgery can help you lose a huge amount of weight, but they’re not always the best options for targeting specific problem areas. With help from the latest body contouring procedures, you can target your thighs, waist, upper arms and other areas.

Eliminate Sagging Skin

If you’ve undergone surgery for weight loss, there is a good chance that you’ll be left with sagging skin, and body contouring serves as an excellent way to eliminate saggy skin. Another problem with saggy skin is the excess weight that it forces you to carry. The excess skin can make it difficult to move around, and with the help of body contouring surgery, you can eliminate sagging skin and improve your appearance.

The Benefits of Body Contouring

After you’ve achieved significant weight loss, it’s an excellent time to consider contouring your body, and with a number of different procedures available, you can find the best options for your needs. The main purpose of most body contouring procedures is to address problem areas. Before deciding to have your body contoured, it’s important to have realistic expectations, and you should never undergo the procedure with the expectations that you’ll end up with a perfect body.

Are You a Candidate?

Before you undergo any procedures, your weight must be stabilized and you should have good overall health. You should also be very close to your ideal body weight and hold realistic expectations for what can be accomplished with body contouring.

Common Procedures

Body contouring is an umbrella term, and it’s used to describe several different procedures. A great example is abdominoplasty, which is also known as a tummy tuck. Other popular procedures include liposuction, thigh and arm lifts, and the Brazilian butt lift.

By seeking body contouring after major weight loss, you can achieve great results, and one of the major benefits is being able to get rid of the excess skin left behind. During a consultation at Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida in Hollywood, you can see what your options are regarding body contouring procedures.
