Plastic surgery
A consultation about excess skin and body contouring after weight loss, including an assessment of suitability and timing.
Body contouring after weight loss
Significant weight loss can leave excess skin that affects appearance and everyday comfort. A plastic surgeon can assess whether surgery is appropriate and when it could be considered.
OB Klinika's website discusses plastic surgery after weight loss and describes follow-on care at OB CARE. OpenMedical can help arrange a consultation and confirm the location, available care and appointment requirements.
Topics to discuss at your consultation
- Excess skin around the abdomen
- Excess skin on the upper arms and thighs
- Changes in breast shape after weight loss
- The timing of a procedure after previous obesity treatment
Choosing an appropriate approach
During the consultation, the surgeon assesses the extent of the changes, your health and your expectations. They will explain the possible benefits, scarring, surgical risks and recovery requirements. A specific procedure can only be recommended after an in-person assessment.
How this relates to obesity treatment
Plastic surgery addresses excess skin and body shape. Before planning a procedure, the team needs to review your weight-loss progress and health. Reports from previous treatment can help with planning the next stage of care.
