Body Contouring After Weight Lose
Whether you’ve recently shed pounds through dieting and exercise, or just underwent major weight loss surgery, you may want to consider body contouring surgery to complement your new body. 
The weight removed during gastrointestinal surgery, such as gastric bypass, is mostly fat. So body contouring surgery is designed to tighten and remove the large amount of excess, draping skin that remains on a patient's body. After weight reduction surgery, the areas that generally require further attention are the abdomen, face, back, breasts, inner arms and inner thighs. In order to do so, various surgical procedures that can be used for body contouring are: breast lifts, buttock lifts, lower body lifts, thigh lifts, and upper arm lifts.
Each plastic surgeon approaches body contouring surgery differently based on an individual's needs. 
Therefore, it is important to discuss your concerns about ways to improve your appearance with an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Dennis Thompson. Each procedure used for body contouring has its own set of risks, uncertainties, and recovery time. As you evaluate your goals and expectations, he will help you decide which procedure(s) will effectively reshape your body and rebuild your confidence.
