Cosmetic Surgery After Weight Loss

Major weight loss is a significant accomplishment, whether by dieting alone or after bariatric surgery. Fitting into new, smaller clothing enhances the excitement you feel when you step on a scale. You are healthier, happier, and probably more active. But many of our Los Angeles and Beverly Hills plastic surgery patients feel uncomfortable with areas of excess skin after weight loss, and seek help at our practice.

Excess skin is unsightly and can seriously hinder your ability to participate in certain physical activities that could further improve your health. Excess loose skin can also makes you self-consciousness about wearing certain outfits. After all the work you've put into losing the weight, shouldn't you have the freedom to wear and do and look the way you have always wanted? In Los Angeles, plastic surgery can be the final step to complete your transformation.

Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgery after Weight Loss

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic surgery after major weight loss requires special care from highly experienced surgeons. Dr. Grant Stevens and Dr. David Stoker are nationally recognized body contouring specialists with knowledge of the special needs of post weight loss patients.

The main difference between cosmetic surgery after major weight loss and other cosmetic procedures is the need to assess the entire body not just one targeted area. Excess skin will pucker and fold over many sections of the body from the breasts, back, hips, abdomen, thighs, arms and pubic area. Body contouring of the torso usually requires a different procedure, such as a tummy tuck in Los Angeles, than body contouring of the thighs and buttocks or arms and breasts. Your skin's texture and the amount of tissue laxity will affect incision sites, the amount of skin removal, and the degree to which scars from your plastic surgery in Los Angeles will be visible.

You deserve to look your best after all the effort you've put into losing those unwanted pounds. The consultation is your opportunity to discuss your specific goals with our surgeons.
