For anyone struggling to shed a significant amount of weight, seeing that weight finally come off can be a monumental occasion. But dramatic weight loss, whether through weight reduction surgery or other means, can have a downside. Whenever an extremely large amount of weight is lost the result is often excess sagging skin, something that can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and sometimes even painful. Excess skin can also hinder exercise and other activities meaning that self-acceptance and restoring body confidence remain an ongoing struggle even after all the weight is lost. The solution, as more and more people are discovering, lies in surgical body contouring, something that has led to an emerging trend in plastic surgery.

Patients opting for surgical body contouring understandably want to remove the visual reminders of their weight loss journey, like excessive skin. Losing weight is just one phase of the journey as many people discover. Afterwards, looking in the mirror and still being frustrated because you’re not seeing the body you want can be emotionally draining and make it hard to feel good about the weight loss.

Procedures like thigh lifts, tummy tucks, upper arm lifts and breast lifts remove excess sagging fat and skin that so often comes with significant weight loss, while at the same time creating contours where there were none. These types of plastic surgeries can have a profound effect on the way people feel about their post-weight loss bodies and help give them a new lease on life. It makes sense that more and more people are turning to body contouring surgeries as a means of finally feeling good about their bodies and the fact they’ve lost so much weight.
