After doing all the hard work of losing weight, many people are still left with loose skin and underlying fat that hides all that work. But while diet and exercise can do a lot to change the size and shape of your body, no amount of healthy eating and activity can remove excess skin. That’s where post-weight loss surgery at SunCoast Plastic Surgery comes in. But what exactly can you expect from this surgery? Let’s take a look!
What is Post-Weight Loss Surgery?
Also known as body contouring or a body lift, post-weight loss surgery helps remove excess skin and underlying fat that often remain after significant weight loss. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, repairing the abdominal muscles during a tummy tuck or other major body contouring procedure can improve your posture, your mobility, and reduce back pain and incontinence. It’s often performed on the hips, buttocks, thighs, abdomen, and back and helps you reveal all the hard work you’ve accomplished.
Who is a Good Candidate for Post-Weight Loss Surgery?
Those who have lost a significant amount of weight and are struggling with excess skin and leftover fat are typically good candidates for post-weight loss surgery. Ideal candidates also meet the following criteria:
- In generally good health
- Has realistic expectations
- Committed to a healthy lifestyle
- Have no medical conditions that could negatively affect the healing process
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
