Plastic Surgery after Dramatic Weight Loss in Kogarah and Sydney

Plastic Surgery after Dramatic Weight Loss in Kogarah and Sydney—Boost Your Efforts After dramatic weight loss

Many parts of the body demonstrate enviable elasticity, bouncing back to a natural and attractive firmness. Other areas do not. Dramatic weight loss often causes undesired sagging around the areas that once carried large amounts of fat. Once this fat is gone the skin and tissue of the stomach, arms, or breasts often appears slack, tired, or flapped. The undesirable looseness and flabby appearance often undermine the amazing progress of someone who transformed their body through exercise and fitness. While optimum weight and ideal health metrics may be achieved, those who undergo dramatic weight loss often find their body confidence still lacking. Clothing and bathing suits fit awkwardly. Redistributed fat and excess skin create embarrassment when dramatic weight loss should increase pride in the physical body.

A person who has experienced significant weight loss may seek surgical procedures as a solution to unwanted extra skin and fat deposits to improve the appearance of the entire post-weight loss body.

It is best to wait at least one year after achieving optimum weight to seek body contouring surgery. This period allows the body time to adjust to the changes in shape and volume. It also gives patients a fuller perspective of which areas responded to weight loss with resiliency and points out those areas that might best be improved with surgical procedures.

Many who achieve dramatic weight loss opt for one or more procedures to adapt the body to weight loss. Consult with a professional cosmetic surgeon like A/Prof Damian Marucci from the Sydney area to determine the treatment plan that best suits your personal needs.

Common post-weight loss body contouring procedures include:

Breast Lift/Augmentation

The skin of the breasts is delicate and susceptible to sagging and flattening post weight loss. A breast lift or augmentation with lift helps reset the breasts at a natural, youthful position. The use of natural implants or even tissue from one’s own body can help patients achieve the lift and fullness they desire post-weight loss.

Liposuction

Liposuction on its own or as part of other procedures like abdominoplasty and arm lifts can help remove unwanted fat deposits and build the figure into a more aesthetically pleasing shape. While weight loss helps reduce fat, sometimes fat deposits shift or remain stubbornly gathered in certain areas of the body like the stomach, upper arms, and upper thighs. Liposuction removes this fat, creating a sleeker silhouette.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty or a “tummy tuck” helps restructure the stomach after dramatic weight loss. Obesity often involves carrying significant weight around the middle creating solid “beer bellies” and “guts.” Loss of fatty tissue in the area represents a mitigation of health risk but often leaves behind an uncomfortable and unattractive flap of skin that droops low over the pelvic area like an apron. Abdominoplasty not only removes excess skin, the procedure also works to reset the musculature of the abdominal wall higher creating a taut belly.

Brachioplasty

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, reshapes the underarm from armpit to elbow. Drastic weight loss can create sagging arms. While exercise goes a long way to improve the muscle tone of the arms, simple weight training does not repair skin that has lost its resiliency. An arm lift can remove that excess skin, smoothing out lumps and bumps and creating an overall more toned arm.

Losing significant amounts of weight represents a first step in making healthy life choices and building a body that best represents you. However, dramatic weight loss can take a toll on the body and the mind. Take time to get comfortable with your body post-weight loss. Allow time for skin to rebound and muscle to replace fat. After a year of solid weight maintenance, set up a consultation with a medical professional like A/Prof Damian Marucci in Sydney who can help guide you through the cosmetic procedure process.

Whether you desire a small lift or express interest in a full body contouring package, a trained cosmetic surgeon will help you set realistic expectations for your procedures including accurate healing periods, anticipated scarring, and success rates. Losing weight represents a difficult journey both physically and mentally. Congratulations on taking the first steps to improve your health and wellbeing.
