Surgery Options After Major Weight Loss

Posted on 28 Feb 2024

If you’ve lost a lot of weight, you are likely thrilled with the results, but you might not be so happy about the excess skin or droopy breasts that often come with significant weight loss. Luckily, there is a full range of surgical options available to ensure you fully achieve the body you worked so hard for. Let’s take a look at a few of the options.

Body Lift

A body lift is one of the most common procedures performed after a major weight loss. After you lose a lot of weight, you’re likely to have loose, sagging skin left behind. A body lift can remove excess skin around the abdomen, arms, legs, and other parts of the body and leave you better able to see the new curves you worked so hard for.

Arm Lift

An arm lift is another common procedure many patients have after losing a significant amount of weight. Skin often doesn’t have enough elasticity to simply bounce back after losing so much weight. Luckily, with an arm lift, we can remove that loose excess skin to give your arms a more contoured and toned appearance.

Tummy Tuck

The abdomen is often one of the most affected areas when you lose a lot of weight. The abdominal muscles can be weak, and there can be quite a bit of sagging skin. That’s where a tummy tuck comes in. With Dr. Neaman and Dr. Christiansen’s expertise at Neaman Plastic Surgery, you can say goodbye to the excess skin and hello to a flatter and firmer midsection. They can also strengthen the abdominal muscles, which can help your posture as well as your overall appearance.

Breast Lift

Unfortunately, with major weight loss, breasts often lose some of their fullness as well and can become droopy or look deflated. But with a breast lift at Neaman Plastic Surgery, you can get back the perky, youthful-looking breasts you had before. With a few incisions, we’ll remove any excess tissue, lift the breasts, and tighten the remaining tissue, leaving you with a much more youthful contour.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift can also be very beneficial to individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight. After doing all that work to lose weight, you can be left with sagging, loose skin on your thighs. But with a thigh lift, Dr. Neaman and Dr. Christiansen can remove that excess skin and any lingering fat and give you toned and shapely thighs that you’ll want to show off.
