Reshaping the Body After Major Weight Loss
Weight loss prior to cosmetic surgery will lower your risk of complications following surgery. I work with endocrinologists who can design a weight loss program or may prescribe the GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic and Zepbound, for instance). These drugs have revolutionized weight loss - but they are so effective that your skin may not be able to shrink to your new size.
With the rising popularity of bariatric (weight loss) surgery and, in particular, GLP-1 drugs, I am performing more skin removal procedures in this group of patients. Tummy tucks, breast lifts, and facelifts are popular following weight loss.
Some patients are concerned about the extra weight around their abdomen and desire a tummy tuck. If your extra skin continues along your sides I often extend the incision and remove extra flank skin.
Are You a Candidate for Body Contouring?
Body contouring procedures are big surgery and you must be in excellent physical condition to undergo them. The thinner you are at the time of your surgery, the better the result you will have and the less likely you are to have a complication. If you are a smoker, have heart disease or diabetes, you are not a candidate for this type of surgery. The risks are simply too high.
I have a particular interest in tummy tuck surgery and I’m currently performing a study of abdominoplasty effects that will be submitted for publication in a major plastic surgery journal.
I perform body contouring consults at my Park Avenue office in Manhattan and at my office in Franklin Park, New Jersey. All surgery is performed in a surgicenter or the hospital.
Before and After
I have performed countless body contouring procedures over the years. These are a few representative result. Remember a everyone is different and one person's result may not be achievable in you.
