Understanding Body Contouring After Weight Loss

Body lift procedures are specialized surgical treatments designed to address excess skin and fat following significant weight loss. These transformative procedures target multiple body areas that commonly experience sagging after substantial weight reduction.

Target Areas for Body Lift

Body contouring typically focuses on areas such as:

• Face and neck
• Upper arms
• Breast region
• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Thighs

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift

Patients considered ideal for body lift procedures have typically achieved their optimal weight through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. Candidates should be at a stable weight with persistent excess skin that does not retract naturally.

Surgical Approach and Staging

Body lift procedures are highly individualized and may require multiple operations performed in stages. The waiting period between surgeries can range from weeks to several months, depending on individual patient factors and the extent of surgical intervention needed.

Comprehensive Surgical Planning

Dr. Matthew E. Shambaugh carefully evaluates each patient's unique anatomical considerations to develop a personalized body lift strategy that addresses specific contour concerns and aesthetic goals.
