Post Weight Loss Surgery

After significant weight loss — whether through lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery, or the use of newer weight loss medications (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) — many patients are left with excess skin that does not retract, particularly around the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, and back. This can cause discomfort, hygiene issues, rashes, or difficulty with clothing, and may obscure the results of the weight loss itself.

Post weight loss body contouring focuses on removing redundant skin, tightening tissues, and restoring natural body proportions. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons are comprehensively trained in a range of procedures to address these concerns, including panniculectomy, abdominoplasty, thigh lift, arm lift, and breast reshaping. Surgery is carefully planned to meet each patient's needs and priorities, often performed in stages to ensure safe recovery and optimal results. These procedures can significantly improve comfort, confidence, and quality of life, helping patients fully realise the benefits of their weight loss journey.
