Massive Weight Loss Plastic Surgery

Body Transformation After Major Weight Loss

Achieving significant weight loss is a life-changing journey that deserves celebration. While this milestone brings immense pride and accomplishment, many patients find themselves facing a new challenge: excess skin that doesn’t reflect their hard-earned success. 

These loose folds can impact both comfort and confidence, making it difficult to fully embrace your transformation. At Quintessa Aesthetic Center, our expert team specializes in helping you complete your journey, sculpting your body to match the vibrant, healthy person you’ve become.

Understanding Post-Weight Loss Plastic Surgery

At Quintessa Aesthetic Center, body contouring after major weight loss goes beyond simply removing excess skin. Our skilled surgeons precisely sculpt your body’s contours, creating natural, aesthetically pleasing results.

This comprehensive approach includes tightening loosened muscles (particularly in the abdominal area), reshaping areas like the breasts, and addressing the stretched skin that remains after significant weight loss. This excess skin is common, especially in patients who carried extra weight from a young age, as the body produced additional skin cells to accommodate the larger size. While weight loss eliminates fat cells, it cannot reverse skin expansion, leading to loose, sagging tissue that only surgical intervention can effectively address.

Quintessa’s Body Contouring Procedures
After Major Weight Loss

At Quintessa Aesthetic Center, we offer multiple surgical options to address excess skin and reshape your body after significant weight loss.

Based on your goals and the amount of weight lost, procedures may be performed individually or combined for optimal results. While some patients require staged surgeries to achieve their desired outcome, we prioritize areas of greatest concern first. Many procedures can be enhanced with liposuction for additional contouring.

Our post-weight loss surgical procedures include:

Abdominal skin removal (Tummy Tuck Surgery)

Massive weight loss plastic surgery often includes excess abdominal skin that can extend around the back and buttock area. There are different types of abdominoplasty surgeries to address different degrees of skin laxity – Torsoplasty/Lower body lift, Extended abdominoplasty and Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. If the muscles have been separate due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations this can be corrected as well. At Quintessa Aesthetic Center, we’ll help you select what procedure is right for you to remove the loose skin, repairs separated abdominal muscles, and restore natural contours. As Wisconsin’s pioneer in drainless tummy tuck procedures, we offer a more comfortable recovery experience while achieving exceptional results.

Breast Enhancement Surgery

Significant weight loss can change the shape and volume of your breasts, often resulting in sagging or loss of fullness.

At Quintessa, we offer customized breast enhancement procedures to restore symmetry, shape, and confidence. Whether you’re looking to lift, enhance, or reduce your breasts, our board-certified surgeons specialize in procedures that complement your body’s transformation. Many patients choose to combine breast enhancement with other body contouring surgeries for a more balanced, sculpted look.

Thigh Lift Surgery

After massive weight loss, sagging thigh tissue can affect daily comfort and mobility. This excess skin often extends from the thighs to the knees, causing uncomfortable folding and potential skin irritation. At Quintessa Aesthetic Center, our plastic surgery after massive weight loss addresses these concerns, removing excess tissue to reveal the true contours of your transformation.

Arm Lift Surgery

After major weight loss, loose skin on the upper arms can mask the true results of your transformation. At Quintessa Aesthetic Center, our board-certified surgeons perform arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) with meticulous attention to detail, creating sleek, natural-looking contours. This procedure eliminates excess skin and tissue, revealing the toned arms beneath and restoring proportion to your upper body.

Liposuction

After skin removal, stubborn fat deposits can remain when a patient has undergone extreme weight loss. At Quintessa Aesthetic Center, we often combine liposuction with body contouring procedures to enhance results. Using advanced techniques, our surgeons precisely target and remove resistant fat pockets, creating smoother, more refined contours that complement your weight loss success.
