Body Contouring After Bariatric Surgery in Sacramento
Losing a significant amount of weight after bariatric surgery is a major accomplishment, as it improves your health and quality of life. However, you may find yourself left with loose, sagging skin that can make it difficult to fully enjoy your results. Fortunately, body contouring surgery can help refine your shape and restore a smoother, firmer appearance.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Green specializes in advanced body contouring procedures for post-bariatric patients. In Sacramento and Granite Bay, he can help you complete your transformation with natural-looking, balanced results.
Why Consider Body Contouring After Weight Loss?
While bariatric surgery helps reduce excess weight, it cannot reverse the changes to your skin and tissues caused by obesity. Skin stretched over many years often loses its elasticity and does not shrink back after weight loss. As a result, you may notice:
- Loose, hanging skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, and back
- Residual fat pockets that resist diet and exercise
- Sagging in areas like your breasts, face, and neck
- Chafing, irritation, or difficulty finding clothing that fits comfortably
Body contouring procedures address these concerns by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and reshaping key areas for a more proportional silhouette.
Comprehensive Post-Bariatric Procedures
Dr. Green tailors each body contouring plan to the unique needs of post-bariatric patients. Options may include:
- Lower Body Lift – Removes excess skin from the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks while tightening the waistline.
- Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – Flattens and firms the abdomen by removing loose skin and repairing stretched muscles.
- Thigh Lift – Tightens and smooths the inner or outer thighs for a slimmer appearance.
- Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) – Eliminates sagging skin along the upper arms for a more toned look.
- Breast Lift – Restores a natural breast position and shape after weight loss.
- Face and Neck Lift – Addresses loose, wrinkled skin around the face and neck to complete your overall transformation.
- Liposuction – Removes isolated fat deposits for additional contouring.
Many patients benefit from combining procedures into a staged plan to achieve their goals safely and effectively.
