Getting informed about the types of post-weight-loss surgeries available can help you choose the right procedures to achieve your desired shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Plastic Surgery Procedures Done After Significant Weight Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult with your doctor about which of the following procedures may be best for your situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tummy tuck:\u00a0<\/strong>Also known\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sprsi.com\/body-procedures\/abdominoplasty-tummytucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as an abdominoplasty<\/a>, a post-weight-loss tummy tuck is a common option for individuals looking to remove stubborn fat in this area. This procedure flattens your stomach while tightening the abdominal muscles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Panniculectomy:\u00a0<\/strong>This procedure involves removing of the pannus of tissue overhanging the pubic and groin areas which often causes irritation, rashes, open wounds, and even infections. \u00a0At times, when certain criteria are met, insurance plans may cover the cost of a panniculectomy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skin removal:<\/strong>\u00a0Skin removal consists of several types of lifting procedures,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sprsi.com\/body-procedures\/arm-lift\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">such as arm lifts<\/a>\u00a0and thigh and buttock lifts. These surgeries involve removing excess skin and fat and lifting the remaining tissue for a smoother appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liposuction:\u00a0<\/strong>Liposuction\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sprsi.com\/body-procedures\/liposuction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">removes fat deposits<\/a>\u00a0and is often combined with a body lift so that your rejuvenated skin will conform to your body without extra pockets of fat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Breast lift:\u00a0<\/strong>A breast lift\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sprsi.com\/breast-procedures\/breast-lift\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">provides a firmer appearance<\/a>\u00a0and creates more symmetry by removing sagging skin and reshaping the breast tissue. Breast augmentation can be combined with this type of surgery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Body contouring:<\/strong>\u00a0This term describes any procedure that reshapes a part of the body, though it can also refer to a combination of various surgeries \u2014 such as the previously mentioned procedures \u2014 to improve the appearance of multiple areas of the body at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long to Wait for Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before receiving weight loss plastic surgery, you should give your body adequate time to heal from the initial procedure. This wait time is typically anywhere from six to 12 months, but it can change depending on your individual case. You should be at a point where you have reached your goal weight and your weight has stabilized, as large fluctuations can affect your results. Giving your skin and tissues time to settle makes it easier for your surgeon to produce a more precise surgical plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important that you have adjusted to your new diet and lifestyle so that your results will be better maintained after plastic surgery. Additionally, a lower BMI is associated with a reduced risk of complications after surgery and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facs.org\/for-medical-professionals\/news-publications\/news-and-articles\/bulletin\/2023\/october-2023-volume-108-issue-10\/study-clarifies-link-between-obesity-and-surgical-complications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">may make recovery easier<\/a>, so be sure that you&#8217;re at or near your goal BMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Is Plastic Surgery Recovery Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your recovery time will depend on which surgery you get and whether you decide to receive multiple surgeries. Recovery usually takes weeks or months and will likely require you to take time away from work and other responsibilities for the first few weeks. Because body contouring often combines several procedures, your total recovery time will be consolidated compared to getting multiple surgeries at separate times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Southern Plastic &amp; Reconstructive Surgical Institute for Surgery After Weight Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering plastic surgery after hitting your weight loss goals, contact SPRSI to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sprsi.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schedule a consultation<\/a>&nbsp;and see if you&#8217;re a good candidate.
