Weight loss — whether through bariatric surgery, GLP‑1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy, or lifestyle changes — is a major accomplishment. Yet loose, excess skin can affect confidence, comfort, and hygiene. At Southern Plastic & Reconstructive Surgical Institute (SPRSI), we provide solutions to help you complete your transformation with plastic surgery after weight loss. We offer safe care, tailored procedures, and guidance for patients throughout Nashville and Franklin, helping their bodies reflect their success.
Weight Loss Plastic Surgery at SPRSI
Rather than a single procedure, post-weight-loss surgery combines various procedures tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals. At SPRSI, Dr. Nathan Brought and his team offer the following body contouring solutions:
Abdominoplasty and Panniculectomy
Also known as a tummy tuck, an abdominoplasty removes excess upper and lower abdominal skin while tightening loose muscles. If excess tissue predominantly overhangs the lower abdomen and pubic area, a panniculectomy may be appropriate — a procedure that trims the skin and fat below the belly button.
Brachioplasty
Commonly referred to as an arm lift, a brachioplasty removes extra skin and fat to reshape the upper arm. Tissue is trimmed through an incision from the armpit to above the elbow — scar length varies by need, but is hidden as much as possible. The result is shapelier, firmer upper arms.
Thigh Lift
A medial thigh lift removes loose skin from the inner thighs between the knees and buttocks. If rubbing and chafing bother you or excess tissue affects your confidence, this procedure can reduce friction and reshape the upper legs for smoother contours.
Breast Lift
After weight loss, breasts may lose firmness and shape. A breast lift can restore a higher and more youthful contour. Some women also choose to add implants to enhance fullness. Dr. Brought will recommend the best lift technique based on each patient's anatomy and degree of sagging.
Are You a Candidate for Surgical Procedures After Weight Loss?
While these body contouring procedures can result in positive, life-changing improvements in one's appearance and confidence, being the right candidate is essential. Candidacy is determined by whether you:
- Have kept a stable goal weight for at least three to six months.
- Are in good general health.
- Have realistic expectations for your outcome.
- Are not a smoker (or are willing to quit).
If you plan to become pregnant, waiting until after childbirth is often advisable. Nutritious eating habits, regular exercise, and an overall healthy lifestyle are vital to maintain your results.
