If you have lost a significant amount of weight or undergone multiple pregnancies, your skin may have become loose or saggy. For many people, loose skin doesn't just “bounce back” to its original state, and the effects of weight gain and weight loss may have changed your body shape.
Loose skin, stubborn fatty pockets, and stretch marks are some of the unwanted side effects of weight loss, but these issues can be corrected with body contouring procedures.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon at San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery can determine whether you are a candidate for body contouring surgery. The goal of this type of surgery is to reshape the body and create a more attractive silhouette. We may perform a body lift to get rid of sagging skin and create a tighter, more youthful appearance. Liposuction may be the answer for getting rid of stubborn fatty pockets and creating a more streamlined figure. Skin tightening procedures can also help to enhance your figure.
Do I Really Need Body Contouring Surgery?
If you have lost a significant amount of weight over your lifetime and are finding it difficult to maintain a toned figure with diet and exercise alone, body contouring surgery may be your best solution. These procedures may include a set of surgeries such as a full body lift, breast enhancement, an arm lift, or even a tummy tuck. Most procedures involve removing excess skin, which means that some areas with stretch marks can be restored. Liposuction removes fat cells permanently so you can say goodbye to those pockets of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise for good!
Body contouring surgery may be the only way to achieve your ideal figure after significant weight loss. Even if you lost the weight in a natural way and are very dedicated to your diet and exercise program, it can be very difficult – if not impossible – to maintain a toned and slim figure without getting rid of excess skin. This is where body contouring procedures can help.
