Body Contouring After Weight Loss in Orlando

At Park Avenue Plastic Surgery, we offer procedures designed to address concerns about excess skin after significant weight loss, helping you refine your body’s contours and achieve a more proportionate appearance. Our team specializes in various weight loss procedures tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients in Winter Park and Orlando, FL.

Body Contouring After Weight Loss – What Are Your Options?

After significant weight loss, many people experience loose skin that may not retract on its own. This can lead to discomfort and self-consciousness about one’s appearance. At Park Avenue Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of options for body contouring after weight loss:

Surgical Solutions: These include procedures like arm lifts and thigh lifts designed to remove excess skin and improve body shape.
Non-Surgical Treatments: We also provide non-surgical body contouring treatments, such as Sculpsure®, that target stubborn areas without extensive recovery time.

Understanding your options is crucial for making informed decisions regarding your post-weight loss journey.

Surgical Procedures Offered After Weight Loss

These procedures focus on removing excess skin and, in some cases, fat to create a smoother, more proportionate physique. We offer the following surgical options:

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and can also tighten the abdominal muscles. It is ideal for individuals who have loose, hanging skin on their abdomen after weight loss.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Addresses sagging skin and excess fat in the upper arms, often called “bat wings.” This procedure creates a more toned and defined arm contour.
Liposuction: While not exclusively a skin removal procedure, liposuction can be used in conjunction with other body contouring surgeries to remove stubborn pockets of fat that remain after weight loss. This helps to refine the body’s shape further.
Thigh/Buttock Lift: Targets excess skin and fat on the thighs and buttocks. A thigh lift can improve the contour of the inner and/or outer thighs, while a buttock lift can enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks.
