Shedding a lot of weight is a huge win—but dealing with loose, sagging skin? Not so much. You worked hard to transform your body, but excess skin can keep you from feeling your best. Body contouring surgery helps you ditch the extra skin and sculpt your desired shape.

Leading board-certified Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Craft offers a full range of specialized body contouring procedures to help post-weight loss patients look and feel their best after massive weight loss.

Dr. Craft inspires confidence with his extensive body contouring expertise and uniquely empathetic manner. He provides detailed guidance and steady support to help patients find the best surgeries that suit their needs. This blog delves into the most popular body contouring procedures and what they can do for you.

Body Contouring Options After Weight Loss

Lost a lot of weight? Whether you reached your goals with diet, exercise, medication, bariatric surgery, or a combination approach, it’s something to be tremendously proud of.

Dr. Craft and our team understand how hard you’ve worked to shed the weight, and we’re here to help you enjoy the fruits of your labor. Many patients choose a combination of procedures after massive weight loss, often including:

Tummy Tuck

In a tummy tuck, Dr. Craft removes excess skin from the abdomen and tightens abdominal muscles that may be separated or weakened.

After massive weight loss, most patients have a standard tummy tuck (or a more comprehensive version). It creates a smooth, shapely abdominal contour encompassing the upper and lower belly.

Liposuction

While a tummy tuck removes fat attached to excess skin, that’s not the primary goal of the procedure. Even after reaching their goal weight, many patients struggle with localized fat deposits in the belly, hips, thighs, back, and other areas.

Liposuction removes the fat cells. Because it doesn’t remove skin, liposuction alone could leave skin looking even looser for patients after massive weight loss. That’s why it combines perfectly with procedures like tummy tuck to address concerns after weight loss fully.

Breast Surgery

Losing weight affects every area of the body — even the ones might prefer to leave alone. For example, many women experience significant breast volume reduction, often alongside sagging, following massive weight loss.

With breast surgery, such as a lift with implants, Dr. Craft can reshape and reposition your breasts to give you a fuller, youthful appearance.

Butt Augmentation

You might have heard of “pancake butt.” This dreaded issue happens when massive weight loss causes the butt to flatten and sag. Fortunately, there’s a body contouring solution in Brazilian butt lift (BBL).

With this procedure, Dr. Craft performs liposuction to remove fat where you can spare it, then purifies it to use it to plump and shape your butt.
