FAQ’s

Although you’ll see some immediate improvement after surgery including a reduction in lax skin, the majority of results are gradual and progressive. As any post-operative swelling subsides more visible results will continue to occur. In most cases, you can expect an optimal outcome in about 3-6 months with further improvement over time.

Post weight loss body contouring is a long-lasting procedure. Most men find a newfound sense of self-confidence that gives them the motivation to keep weight off for good. Scars are typically in locations that are easily-concealable and should gradually mature in about six months to a year.

Recovery after post-weight loss body contouring can vary depending on the procedures enlisted to meet your goals. While every guy is different, you can expect to take 1-2 weeks off work with most weight and activity restrictions lasting 2-4 weeks. You can likely start to incorporate more strenuous activities around this time as you feel comfortable. Full recovery can sometimes take several months or more.

Your skilled surgeon will customize a recovery plan based on your specific procedure at the time of your consult. Closely following your surgeon’s instructions can facilitate a smooth and easy recovery.
