4 Reasons to Consider a Body Contouring Procedure After Weight Loss
Major weight loss, whether you have achieved it through lifestyle changes or through surgery, is an incredible accomplishment from which you will greatly benefit.
However, many patients who have lost a large amount of weight have found that they’ve been left with excess folds of skin around their arms, abdomen, breasts, thighs, buttocks, and face. This is often because, after losing so much weight, the skin is unable to shrink back to its former size and shape.
4 Reasons to Get Rid of Excess Skin After Weight Loss Surgery
While many people believe that getting rid of excess skin after weight loss is purely for aesthetic purposes, the truth is that there are some other issues that can arise from this which may affect your quality of life.
In fact, excess skin may:
- Limit your mobility
- Cause chronic rashes, sores, and infections
- Make getting dressed and doing daily activities harder
- Interfere with your hygiene
In addition to this, excess skin can prevent patients who have undergone major weight loss from enjoying their new body shape and image.
What Can Body Contouring Address After Weight Loss?
Body contouring after weight loss refers to a number of plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, and a medial thigh lift, which are designed to remove and/or tighten excess skin in order to reshape a patient’s figure.
Such procedures can be used to address a number of concerns, such as:
- Sagging face, jowls, and neck
- Flattened breasts
- Sagging thighs
- Excess skin over the abdomen
- Bingo wings
When performed by a board-qualified plastic surgeon, body contouring procedures after weight loss can greatly improve the tone of your figure, while simultaneously removing excess fat to set you on the path to healthier living.
