Body Contouring After Weight Loss Surgery in Winnipeg, MB

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.
• Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in 3 to 6 hours.

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

• Breast: Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation
• Arms: Arm Lift 
• Abdomen: Tummy Tuck, Circumferential body lift, Body Sculpting via Liposuction,
• Thighs: Medial Thigh lift

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 contouring your abdomen, a change in the position of your belly button, elevation of the pubic area, or addressing other concerns. 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.

Even though the scar for a panniculectomy is similar to a standard full tummy tuck, it is simply a removal of overhanging skin for functional or health-related issues and does not result in a tummy tuck outcome.

If you are seeking a pannus surgery only, this maybe covered by your provincial health insurance plan and you will need a referral to see another plastic surgeon who operates in a government funded hospital setting.

Note the significant difference between the amount of skin typically removal during a panniculectomy  a versus a tummy tuck on the illustrations below:
