Significant weight loss is great for your overall physical and mental health. Rapid weight loss with medications can cause significant excess skin. This occurs when the skin loses its elasticity and structural support, giving the appearance of loose, saggy skin.
What Options are Available for Body Contouring After Weight Loss?
Body contouring involves surgical procedures to remove extra skin and unwanted body fat and recontour. These procedures include:
- Face and neck lift
- Breast lift
- Breast implants
- Tummy tuck
- Arm lift
- Thigh lift
- Labiaplasty
- Liposuction
- Gynecomastia for men
Some of these procedures are covered by insurance and others are cosmetic.
The removal of excess skin allows you to lead a more active, fulfilling life, as well as boost self-confidence, satisfaction with your appearance, and overall well-being. Other potential benefits can include improved comfort and mobility, and reduction in rashes and fungal infections between skin folds.
