Body Contouring after Weight Loss and/or Pregnancy

Weight loss is a huge accomplishment and something to be celebrated. However, weight loss can leave extra folds of unsightly skin that can be very distressing. Further, the overall tone of the body is diminished. The plastic surgeons of South Florida Plastic Surgery serving the Naples, Fort Myers and southwest Florida area can help patients improve their appearance by removing this additional skin with body contouring.

Body contouring is a term used by plastic surgeons to refer to a number of procedures that reshape, revitalize, and add tone to different areas of the body. Although not a viable option for every person, body contouring can be an excellent option for patients who have successfully lost weight and want to rejuvenate their overall look.

Many people seek body contouring procedures after they have lost a significant amount of weight, such as after a gastric bypass operation. Women who have lost their tone after pregnancy are also excellent candidates. As more and more residents of Naples, Fort Myers, and southwest Florida successfully lose excess weight, body contouring can make a profound difference.

One of the more popular body contouring procedures is the tummy tuck. This can go around the back to capture the fat rolls that sometimes accumulate there. Liposuction is often added, as well as work on the thighs and breasts to lift them up. These procedures can be staged, or in rare circumstances, can all be done in one long operation.

The cosmetic surgeons at South Florida Plastic Surgery are nationally renowned plastic surgeons serving the Naples, Fort Myers, and southwest Florida area. They have published articles in medical journals, lectured and taught their techniques in national workshops. Schedule a consultation to learn about which procedures can benefit you.
