Transform Your Body After Weight Loss
Body Contouring Procedures for Post-Weight Loss
Following significant weight loss achieved by diet, exercise, gastric bypass, or gastric banding, patients are typically left with significant areas of extra skin. This commonly includes excess skin of the abdomen, breasts, arms, and thighs.
We address all these areas with numerous combinations of body contouring procedures offered at our New Jersey practice. Abdominoplasty surgery can help to remove and tighten loose skin about the abdomen. For extra skin folds around the back, an extended abdominoplasty can be performed. Thigh lifts and arm lifts are available to remove and tighten extra flesh of the upper legs and upper arms.
