Body Contouring After Weight Loss Surgeon in Vancouver
Significant weight loss is a major achievement, but it often leaves behind excess skin that can impact comfort and confidence. Post-weight loss body contouring surgery helps refine and reshape the body by addressing sagging, loose skin and enhancing your natural body contours. This procedure removes excess skin, tightens underlying tissue, and restores a firmer, more sculpted appearance.
Candidates for Body Contouring Surgery
Candidates for body contouring after weight loss may include those with:
- Sagging or deflated breasts with downward-facing nipples
- Loose abdominal skin that hangs over the midsection
- Stubborn fat and excess skin around the hips
- Drooping or excess skin on and under the buttocks
- Lax skin around the thighs and knees
- Hanging skin on the arms
- Loose skin around the neck and jawline
How to Customize Your Treatment
Each patient has unique concerns, so a customized surgical plan is developed to target the areas that require contouring. Multiple procedures may be performed together for a more comprehensive transformation. Some common procedure combinations include:
Upper Body
Liposuction, breast lift, tummy tuck, and arm lift
Lower Body
Liposuction, thigh lift, buttock lift, and lower body lift
What to Expect During Surgery
Body contouring procedures are performed under general anesthesia in our surgical center. If multiple areas are being treated in a single session, an overnight stay may be necessary for proper monitoring and post-operative care. While recovery takes time, the results can be life-changing, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.
Scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure, but every effort is made to minimize and strategically place incisions for the best cosmetic outcome. Patients are encouraged to follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain long-lasting results.
How long is the recovery period for body contouring?
Recovery time depends on the extent of the procedures performed. In general:
- Initial healing takes one to two weeks, during which patients should limit strenuous activity.
- Most patients can return to work within two to three weeks, depending on the procedure.
- Full results typically become visible within three to six months as swelling subsides and the body heals.
