At Westside Plastic Surgery, we commend anyone who has devoted the time, effort, and discipline to lose a significant amount of weight. A weight loss journey may be difficult, but it also has obvious rewards such as becoming healthier and more physically active.
Alas, some people are unhappy with the way their body looks after losing a lot of weight, despite achieving their goal on the scale. Although diet and exercise are great tools for reducing fat, they cannot shrink skin that has previously stretched to fit over a body’s larger contours. However, Dr. James Goggin can re-sculpt the body by removing loose skin with one or more body contouring procedures.
Benefits of Body Contouring After Weight Loss
- Improve your appearance: After your surgeon removes your loose skin, you can show off a more sculpted body that celebrates the hard work you put into losing weight.
- Reduced discomfort: Folds of skin trap moisture and rub against each other, which can lead to rashes, irritation, and even infection. It can also make moving around more difficult. Eliminating excess skin helps to cut down on this discomfort.
- Expand your wardrobe: The presence of excess skin can make it challenging to find clothing that flatters your new figure. Plastic surgery can eliminate this skin so that you can show off a trimmer body.
- Increase your will to keep the weight off: Research shows that patients who have body contouring procedures after massive weight loss are better motivated to keep the weight off because they have bodies that they are happy with.
