What Is After Weight Loss Surgery?
While major weight loss is a huge achievement, many men and women discover that their post-weight loss body is not what they pictured. Instead of creating a tighter, leaner physique, massive weight loss often leaves individuals with loose skin on areas such as the thighs, arms, and abdomen that cannot shrink down to fit their new form. In these cases, the only thing that can help is surgery. At HGH Plastic Surgery, our team of plastic surgeons performs after weight loss surgery as a cosmetic treatment for patients. This procedure can help patients finalize their weight loss success by achieving the look they desire. To learn more about after weight loss surgery, schedule a consultation at our office in Birmingham, AL.
How Is After Weight Loss Surgery Performed?
Excess skin removal surgery is considered a major procedure and requires general anesthesia. It can take around 3 – 7 hours, depending on the amount of skin being addressed and the techniques being used. For most, a hospital stay is necessary. The procedure may start with liposuction, which is performed to remove stubborn fat still on the body. After that, excess skin is carefully removed. This surgery does require larger incisions than most other cosmetic surgeries, so scars will be a part of this treatment. However, our experienced team uses a blend of art and science to make scars as discreet as possible.
What Are the Benefits of After Weight Loss Surgery?
Baggy skin and stubborn pockets of fat are often a factor following the loss of a significant amount of weight. Oftentimes, this can lead to pain, chafing, and self-confidence issues. Post-weight loss surgery at HGH Plastic Surgery makes it possible to attain a slimmer figure, with many benefits including:
- Raises and tightens skin
- Eliminates extra stretched, hanging skin
- Improves range of motion and physical fitness
- Produces an enhanced, more desirable look
- Helps create better posture
- Helps to lessen skin friction and itching
- Recontours the body for a more even, consistent look
- Provides a boost to confidence and sense of worth
- Can treat numerous parts of the body
After Weight Loss Surgery Reviews
After losing almost a hundred pounds, I was left with extremely loose, sagging skin, and after consulting with three plastic surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Halka. He is exceptionally kind and patient with all my questions and concerns, and I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. He did my brachioplasty (arm lift) and breast lift 7 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with my results. My scars look fantastic, and I honestly can’t believe how wonderfully everything is healing. I’ve had zero problems or complications. Dr. Halka will be performing my next two surgeries, a lower body lift and a thigh lift, in the coming months, and I have no worries about my care and comfort in his hands. The nurses and staff at Hedden and Gunn have also all been extremely helpful and friendly. As nervous as I was to start this journey of skin removal and reconstruction, Dr. Halka and the entire H&G team have made it as easy and painless as it could be, and I am so grateful.
Dr.Halka performed a lower body lift with tummy tuck and muscle repair on me and I could not be happier. The transformation is so awesome and I’m not even done healing. It looks so good! Truly life changing for me. I highly recommend him. He is not only a great surgeon but he always comes in the room with a smile on his face and is ever patient to listen to anything you have to say or ask.
Dr. Halka not only met my expectations he exceeded them! I could not be happier with my lower body lift. Everyone that sees the before and after are amazed and tell me how lucky I am to have had a great surgeon. He is patient and answers all of your questions and it is evident he really cares. I would trust him with any procedure and recommend him to anyone. It feels so good to have my confidence back! Thank you Dr. Halka!
10/10 would repeatedly recommend - Dr. Stephen Gunn completely exceeded every expectation I had. I underwent a lower body lift, muscle repair, and fat transfer with him, and I can honestly say the entire experience was life-changing from start to finish. Not only are my results incredible, but my recovery was genuinely a 10/10 — far smoother and easier than I ever anticipated.What stood out most to me was Dr. Gunn’s skill, attention to detail, and the level of care he showed throughout the entire process. He made me feel comfortable, informed, and confident every step of the way. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. His bedside manner is exceptional, and his staff was equally kind, supportive, and responsive.
