Continuing our series on weight loss after medications, many patients notice extra skin in the abdominal region. Also, sometimes in the inner arm and thigh regions.

Fortunately, there are effective surgical options available to help address these concerns.

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring after weight loss can be the next step in the journey of self-improvement and well-being.

Body contouring, also known as body sculpting, involves surgical procedures to remove extra skin and/or liposuction to remove unwanted body fat.

• Excess skin removal - Many women and men who have had significant weight loss opt for removal of excess skin with a tummy tuck. This body contouring procedure 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.

• Liposuction -- Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure used to remove excess body fat from specific areas of the body, such as the hips, abdomen, arms, and thighs. It can change the body's shape and contour.

When you've done a lot to get yourself healthy and reduce weight, the next step toward improved appearance and quality of life might be body contouring.
