How Does A Post Weight Loss Body Contouring Work?
Our team of skilled body contouring specialists offers a range of custom procedures to suit your individual needs and goals. With over 40-years of combined experience, our board-certified physicians and surgeons are sure to have a procedure that’s right for you. We place a strong emphasis on individualized care and take the time to understand your specific concerns. Your comfort, privacy, and respect are our top priorities.
Depending on your individual needs and goals, you may be better suited for one or more of the following body contouring procedures.
In some cases, your surgeon may perform several procedures in a single session, allowing you to achieve maximum results with just one recovery. Other times, your surgeon might suggest a multi-faceted approach with more gradual outcomes that will meet your short and long-term goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for Post Weight Loss Body Contouring?
You may want to consider body contouring if you’re unhappy with loose, sagging skin caused by significant weight loss. Patients should be close to their ideal weight before thinking about the procedure. Your surgeon may postpone body-contouring surgery until you’ve maintained a stable weight for a minimum of 6 months. PWL contouring can help you achieve your desired contours and give you the motivation to maintain a healthy weight.
The ideal candidate for the procedure is an otherwise healthy adult both physically and mentally. You should have realistic expectations about what the procedure can offer you as well as what to expect when it comes to post-surgical scars. As with any surgical procedure, non-smokers typically have the best outcomes.
