Post-Weight-Loss Contouring: Reshaping After Weight Loss
Post-weight-loss contouring removes the excess skin left after major weight loss and reshapes the body’s contour. After dramatic weight loss (including after bariatric surgery), skin often doesn’t tighten back on its own — this addresses it, frequently across several areas.
Who Is It For?
- Excess skin after major weight loss
- Sagging skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, or chest
- After bariatric surgery or successful dieting
- Irritation or difficulty being active from excess skin
What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the right time for contouring after weight loss?
Ideally after your weight has been stable for several months, so results last better. Discuss your situation and goals at consultation.
Is everything done at once?
Not always. Because it can involve several areas, the procedure is often planned in stages for safety and comfortable recovery.
Will there be scars?
Yes. Removing excess skin leaves scars; they are planned to sit under clothing and fade over time.
