Whether weight loss is achieved through diet and exercise or through bariatric surgery such as gastric by-pass, excess skin is often a result from dramatic weight loss. When achieving dramatic weight loss in a short time, skin often does not shrink back to its original form. Plastic surgery can help eliminate excess skin and give patients the confidence and body contour they desire.
Body contouring after major weight loss reduces the excess skin that is left behind after the expansion of the skin, loss of fat and lack of tissue elasticity associated with the weight loss. It is not uncommon to have this reconstructive surgery performed in stages. Common surgical procedures following a major weight loss include; Arm Lift (Brachioplasty), Breast Lift (Mastopexy), Thigh Lift, Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty).
To find out if you qualify for any body contouring procedures, schedule a consultation with Dr. Julie Khanna at our Oakville office, between Toronto and Hamilton in Ontario. Dr. Julie Khanna will discuss the risks and benefits of plastic surgery with you to help you make an informed decision.
