Body contouring after major weight loss reduces the excess skin and fat that is left behind from the expansion of skin, loss of fat and lack of tissue elasticity that often occurs after a major weight loss. This sagging skin commonly develops around the face, neck, upper arms, breast, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs and can make your body contour appear irregular and misshapen. If you have undergone dramatic weight loss either through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, and you are at your optimum weight loss goal, you may be a good candidate for this surgery and may wish to consider undergoing this procedure.
The success of body contouring, whether it is done to reduce, enlarge or lift, is influenced by your age and by the size, shape and skin tone of the area to be treated. Some contouring procedures leave only small, inconspicuous scars. More noticeable scars may result when surgical removal of fat and skin is necessary to achieve your desired result. Most patients find these scars acceptable and enjoy greater self-confidence when wearing a bathing suit or form-fitting clothes.

In recent years a set of Plastic Surgery procedures has been growing in popularuty and has been termed the “mommy makeover”. This is really several procedures which can be done at the same time to restore a woman’s figure after childbirth. Even though it is called by one name, it is a customized approach and different for each person.
Typically the procedures done for the mommy makeover are tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposuction of hips and thighs, and a breast lift or augmentation. It can also include facial rejuvenation procedures if desired. Obviously, the best time to do this is when you are sure you are done having children.
I do these procedures as an outpatient at a certified and accredited outpatient surgery facility. I am a board certified Plastic Surgeon. It is very important that you ask your surgeon if he/she is a board certified Plastic Surgeon and for safety preasons it is almost always best to have procedures done in a surgery center as opposed to a physician’s office.
