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?

Many patients choose to address multiple areas as part of a staged surgical plan. Dr. Wingate evaluates your overall health, the number of areas being treated, and the complexity of the procedures to determine whether they should be performed together or in separate stages.

How long should my weight be stable before considering body contouring?

Surgeons generally recommend maintaining a stable weight for several months before surgery. This helps ensure that the results remain consistent once excess skin has been removed.

Is body contouring surgery only for bariatric patients?

No. While many patients pursue these procedures after bariatric surgery, others seek body contouring after significant weight loss achieved through diet and exercise.

How many procedures are typically required to reshape the body?

The number of procedures varies from patient to patient. Some individuals require treatment for only one area, while others benefit from a more comprehensive plan addressing several regions of the body.

Will body contouring improve how clothing fits?

Many patients find that clothing fits more comfortably after excess skin is removed. A smoother body contour often allows garments to sit more naturally on the body.

How long does swelling last after body contouring procedures?

Swelling is expected after surgery and gradually improves during the healing process. Subtle changes in contour may continue to develop for several months as tissues settle.

Are the results of body contouring permanent?

Once excess skin is removed, it does not return. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve the improved body contours achieved through surgery.
