Sculpt Your Body After Weight Loss

Massive weight loss can often result in substantial loose skin that interferes with your ability to live life on your terms. This skin can make it difficult to work out, fit into clothes, and feel your best. When this occurs, Dr. Wingate will perform a customized procedure that improves your body shape, removes excess skin, and reveals a shapely and toned overall physique.

Dr. Nicholas Wingate A Leading Expert in Massive Weight Loss

Because body contouring after massive weight loss impacts your entire figure, it’s important to work with a respected and board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in performing these procedures. Dr. Wingate underwent specific training in helping patients who have experienced massive weight loss. As such, he has extensive experience performing advanced contouring surgeries in ways that are safe and effective for patients who have lost a substantial amount of weight.

Treatment Areas

Dr. Wingate will customize your body contouring procedure to your unique needs. The most common procedures our patients require include:

  • Arm Lift
  • Tummy Tuck
  • Breast Lift
  • Panniculectomy
  • Thigh Lift
  • Upper Body Lift

The goal of all these procedures is to excise extra skin, tighten lax muscles, and trim away any excess tissue.

Panniculectomy or Tummy Tuck: Which One is Right for You?

These are two very common body contouring procedures after massive weight loss. A panniculectomy is a highly specialized surgery that removes the extra skin and fat that can hang over your groin and thighs.

A tummy tuck removes even more extra skin and fat from the stomach, tightens the abdominal muscles, and relocates the belly button. In some cases, patients will require both a panniculectomy and a tummy tuck for optimal results.

Body Contouring After Weight Lost Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for body contouring after weight loss?

If you’ve lost a substantial amount of weight through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, you may be a candidate. This surgery works best if you’ve been at a stable weight for several months and you’re physically and emotionally healthy.

Can I combine my procedures during one surgery?

It depends on the procedures you’re having done. For example, Dr. Wingate can often perform a tummy tuck and panniculectomy at the same time during the first stage of your transformation. For the second stage, he can perform your breast reduction, which can be combined with an arm or thigh lift. And finally, if any additional procedures are required, they can be performed in the third and final stage. In general, you’ll need to wait about six months between stages to give your body time to heal.
