What Can Body Contouring After Weight Loss Do For You?

Body Contouring After Weight Loss can dramatically improve your comfort and appearance after weight loss. You worked very hard to lose the weight, now it’s time to enjoy it.

Significant weight loss through diet and exercise or following bariatric surgery (gastric bypass or lap-banding surgery) may result in loose and excessive skin which hides the results obtained by your weight loss.

Following at least 6 months of stable weight, excess skin, fat, and loose hanging tissue can be removed through a variety of surgeries:

Surgeries are usually staged over several months to a year with multiple surgeries combined at the same time.
Body Sculpting via Liposuction maybe required to enhance and improve appearance.
Body Contouring After Weight Loss is usually performed on an outpatient basis but may require admission to hospital.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in 3 to 5 hours.

Areas of the body are addressed through a variety of surgeries including:

Breast: Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation
Arms: Arm Lift
Abdomen: Tummy Tuck, Body Sculpting via Liposuction
Thighs: Medial Thigh lift , Posterior Thigh Lift and Circumferential Body Lift
Buttocks: Brazilian Butt Lift
Panniculectomy (see below)

Your Body Contouring After Weight Loss surgery will be custom tailored to your unique needs, individual results and recovery instructions may vary.

Which Cosmetic Procedures Will Be Included In My Body Contouring After Weight Loss Surgery?

Your Body Contouring After Weight Loss surgery will be custom tailored according to your desired aesthetic results. During your initial consultation with Dr. Avi Islur you will address your areas of concern. From there, Dr. Avi Islur will discuss all of your surgical options in detail and you can choose which procedures you are most interested in. Multiple cosmetic procedures can be performed in one surgery, however, there is a limit as to how many cosmetic procedures can be performed at the same time. If you are interested in having multiple cosmetic procedures performed during one surgery, you can address this in detail with Dr. Avi Islur during your initial consultation.

The most common cosmetic procedures for Body Contouring After Weight Loss include:

Panniculectomy Surgery

A panniculectomy can remove your unwanted, overhanging, loose excess skin that is located on your abdominal area. A panniculectomy differs from a tummy tuck because it does not include a change in the position of your belly button or pulling up of the pubic area.

The scar for a panniculectomy is similar to a standard tummy tuck, the incision lines are located at the junction of the pubic area and abdomen and extends laterally along the thigh and abdomen.

A panniculectomy can effectively eliminate rashes, ulcerations, moisture and hygiene issues but does not include cosmetic body contouring. This may be an option for you if you are considering correcting the issues mentioned above, but a panniculectomy is not the right fit if you are interested in further cosmetic body contouring.

A panniculectomy can be performed alone and may be covered by provincial health care plans.

Note the significant difference between a panniculectomy and a tummy tuck on the illustrations below:

Will I Save Money If I Get Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Breast Surgery Done At The Same Time?

Yes, you will save money if multiple procedures are performed at the same time because only one anesthetic will be required for your operation.
