Losing a significant amount of weight can be life-changing, whether you achieve it through lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery, or weight loss medications like Ozempic®. But after reaching your goal, you might find that loose, sagging skin keeps you from thoroughly enjoying your transformation. Surgery after weight loss is often necessary at this stage to complete your weight loss journey and help you feel more confident and comfortable in your “new” skin.
Post-weight loss surgery, sometimes called skin removal surgery or post-weight loss body contouring, encompasses a range of procedures—from arm lifts and thigh lifts to body lifts. Eliminating excess skin and reshaping the body’s contours, these surgeries address areas where the skin has lost elasticity due to significant weight fluctuations. The goal is to restore a more natural-looking and proportionate appearance.
Loose, sagging skin that lingers after significant weight loss—despite your healthy habits—can be frustrating and disheartening. Some common concerns that bring people to Lone Star Plastic Surgery for body contouring solutions include the following:

CREDENTIALS YOU CAN TRUST
Beyond improving your appearance, addressing loose skin after weight loss delivers these added benefits:
Ultimately, surgery after weight loss helps you look and feel your best while elevating your overall quality of life.
At Lone Star Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of procedures tailored to address your skin-firming needs from head to toe:
A comprehensive lower body lift, sometimes called a 360 body lift or circumferential body lift, removes excess skin from the abdomen, buttocks, hips, back, and thighs, resulting in a smoother, more toned appearance. Upper body lifts address the arms, chest, and upper back.
A thigh lift targets sagging skin on the inner and outer thighs, improving leg contours and reducing discomfort.
This specialized body contouring procedure eliminates excess skin and fat from the upper arms, aka “bat wings,” creating a more defined and sculpted appearance.
The goal of a tummy tuck is to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten underlying muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, restores sagging breasts to a perkier position. It’s commonly performed in conjunction with breast augmentation to replenish breast volume if your breasts become deflated after weight loss.
Procedures such as facelift surgery address sagging facial skin after weight loss. For those experiencing gaunt or hollowed-out facial features due to the “Ozempic face” phenomenon, we offer or facial fat grafting and dermal fillers to artfully contour your features and help you reclaim your youthful-looking fullness.
During your personalized consultation, Dr. Hill assesses your needs, discusses your concerns, and tailors your post-weight loss surgery to achieve your ideal body goals. Learn more about what to expect during post-weight loss surgery.
The cost of a body lift after weight loss varies depending on several factors, including the extent of the procedure, the specific areas being treated, and the surgeon’s experience. Because a body lift is a highly personalized surgery, an in-person consultation is the best way to get an accurate estimate.
Dr. Hill provides customized surgical plans and transparent pricing so you understand what’s included before proceeding. He also offers various financing options to help make paying for your surgery more convenient.
If you’re bothered by loose, hanging skin after Ozempic or other weight loss efforts, you may be a good candidate for skin removal surgery. Ideal candidates are typically nonsmokers in good overall health who have been at their stable “goal” weight for at least a year. Post-weight loss surgery candidates must have realistic expectations about their procedure.
Recovery from a body lift varies based on your chosen combination of procedures. Most body, arm, or thigh lift patients should expect to take at least 1 to 2 weeks off work to prioritize rest and healing. Compression garments help minimize swelling and support recovery. Dr. Hill provides detailed postoperative instructions to help manage your comfort throughout the healing process.
Some patients may wish to target the arms, upper back, and chest with an upper body lift, which creates smoother contours and removes redundant skin around the upper torso. Conversely, a lower body lift reshapes and tightens the lower torso, buttocks, and upper legs. Many post-weight loss patients benefit by choosing a full body lift for a comprehensive transformation. Dr. Hill recommends the best approach based on your unique concerns and needs.
Scarring is an inevitable part of surgery. However, Dr. Hill skillfully minimizes incisions and places them discreetly, ensuring they are well concealed. Over time, scars fade significantly.
When you’re ready to complete your weight loss journey with specialized body contouring procedures, it’s essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can protect your safety and natural-looking results.
