Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss
C
ongratulations on your weight loss! Many patients who have lost a significant amount of weight are concerned by excess loose skin that will not tighten despite persistent exercise and strict dieting. The anatomic changes that accompany weight loss are best treated by surgeons with special techniques to address these frustrating problems unique to weight loss patients. Dr. Zienowicz has the experience to devise the optimal surgical treatment plan based on each patient's individual shape and aesthetic goals.
Though weight loss can result in excess skin all over the body, the abdomen is the most common site of concern. An abdominoplasty is the ideal operation for patients seeking a flatter and tighter tummy with improved torso shape. Some patients may be good candidates for a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, or FDL tummy tuck, which removes more skin along the center of and the upper abdomen, accentuating the waist.
Because weight loss leaves excess skin all over the body, many patient choose to combine procedures to treat different parts of the body simultaneously.
