WHAT IS
body contouring?
Body contouring helps with skin removal after major weight loss. This surgery improves the tone of underlying tissue and removes excess fat and skin. Surgical body contouring following major weight loss removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue. The result is a better-proportioned appearance with smoother contours.

Lifts after Weight Loss:
Rapid weight loss due to GLP-1 medications has helped thousands of people feel more comfortable in their own skin. However, when the weight comes off, the skin still remains and often times it is stretched and has lost elasticity. The faster you lose weight, the thinner and less resilient the skin may become. Losing fat and volume can cause sagging and loose skin and for many this can make it difficult to fully enjoy and show off their recent weight loss.
