Once you have lost weight, plastic surgery will remove all excess skin and fat that may become troublesome around the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms or breasts. Skin on the face and the neck may also loosen.
All of these issues can be corrected through plastic surgery procedures such as :
• Bodylift
• Abdominoplasty
• Breast reconstruction and breast implants
• Thigh lift and arm lift
• Neck and face lift
Such surgeries are performed one after the other, at least 2 months apart (in order to reduce the rick of post-operative complications).
Usually, patients who have massively lost weight tend to ask for a reconstruction of the waist region first. Bodylift, or dermolipectomy, allows the surgeon to treat the front, the side and the back regions at the same time. Indeed, a single abdominoplasty would only treat one quarter of the problem and would not reconstruct the body harmoniously. A body lift, on the other hand, shall treat the abdominal and pubic regions as well as the lateral region, thus reshaping the waist and the external sides of the thighs. A body lift will also reconstruct the buttocks and the lower back. The curves of the buttocks may also be improved at the same time using autologous transfer (fat grafting or skin flaps) and liposuction, which redefines the neighboring areas such as the lower back and the upper thighs.
Getting a harmonious silhouette back improves self-confidence, which in turn improves the quality of life both at professional and personal levels. When performed in good conditions, plastic surgery then becomes a sort of "wellbeing" surgery.
