Body Lift
Congratulations on achieving significant weight loss! Whether through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery, you’ve made a critical step towards improving your health and quality of life. You’re probably feeling better than you have in years. However, you might still be burdened by excess skin.
A body lift can help you enjoy your newfound health by removing this excess skin and improving your body contour. This procedure can enhance your confidence and sense of accomplishment, making your clothes fit and look better.
While body contouring surgery will create scars, care is taken to place them where they are least conspicuous. With proper treatment, these scars will fade considerably over time. Most patients find that a little scarring is a small price to pay for tighter skin and a better body shape.
During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will discuss your concerns and explain the details of body contouring surgery following massive weight loss. Together, you’ll determine a surgical plan that best suits your needs to achieve your desired results.
