A. surgery for body contouring after massive weight loss involves many operations to remove the excess skin. Each time, we would do one or two procedures including things like breast uplifts, tummy tucks, back lifts, thigh lifts, etc. If you choose two areas that bother you the most, we would be able to do those each time. Congratulations on your weight loss!

A. congratulations on losing all the extra weight. Excess skin can be a real problem after massive weight loss, and the idea behind body contouring surgery following weight loss is to improve your silhouette. The scars are often around the nipple, going downwards from the nipple to the “breast crease” and thereafter along the breast crease. The scars can be treated after around 6-12 months with micropigmentation to improve their appearances, but I’m afraid you have to have scars after body contouring surgery.

A. congratulations on losing so much weight. We often do two surgery procedures at one time in people who have had massive weight loss, but we don’t really do more than two at a time. You will have to stay in hospital for a length of time that depends on the operation we’re doing – eg 1-2 nights’ stay in hospital

A. Thank you for your enquiry.  The body lift procedure is normally used on people such as yourself who have lost a significant amount of weight.Now you have lost ten stone it is likely that you have excess skin on the front of your tummy, sides of your abdomen and also the back. A body lift removes all of these and also lifts your inner thigh region.Before you have surgery it is important that you have acheived a steady weight with a BMI of under 30.  You also need to discuss surgery with a surgeon who specialises in this form of treatment as body lift surgery is more complicated than a standard tummy tuck procedure.If you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss this type of surgery please contat Cosmetic Surgery Consultants on 08707 606555.RegardsAdrian RichardsPlastic & Cosmetic Consultant

A. Well done for losing so much weight. After massive weight loss, you’re left with excess skin, because your skin loses much of its elasticity. Many women in your position want to have a better silhouette and that’s where body reshaping surgery can help. You can certainly have a tummy tuck, breast uplift (and breast implants if you feel you’ve lost a lot of tissue from the breasts as well as having saggy skin) and the idea behind the operations is to make you look better.  You’ll always have some fullness and excess skin but you should look better after any surgery and hopefully you’ll be more confident about your body too.
