Procedures That Can Complete Your Weight Loss Transformation

Losing a significant amount of weight is a major accomplishment, one that often reflects years of dedication, lifestyle changes, and personal growth. While weight loss can greatly enhance your overall wellness, it may also leave behind loose skin, deflated contours, and areas that don’t fully reflect the healthier, more confident version of yourself.

At Holzman Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Steven Holzman, MD offers a comprehensive range of body contouring and rejuvenation procedures designed to help patients complete their transformation and enjoy a shape that feels proportional, balanced, and refined.

Whether you want to smooth excess skin, enhance your silhouette, or restore more youthful definition, post-weight loss surgery can play a powerful role in achieving the look you’ve worked so hard for. Common procedures that can help complete a patient’s weight loss transformation include:

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is one of the most common procedures performed after weight loss. It removes excess abdominal skin, tightens stretched or weakened muscles, and creates a smoother, firmer midsection. This surgery can be particularly beneficial for individuals who still experience looseness or sagging around the stomach even after reaching their goal weight. Dr. Holzman tailors each tummy tuck surgery to a patient’s unique anatomy to provide natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Arm Lift

Significant weight loss often leaves patients with loose, hanging skin along the upper arms, sometimes referred to as “bat wings.” An arm lift (brachioplasty) reshapes and tightens this area by removing excess skin and refining underlying contours. The result is typically a more toned, defined arm appearance that can restore confidence in sleeveless clothing. Dr. Holzman focuses on minimizing scarring and sculpting smooth, natural transitions between the upper arm and shoulder.

Thigh Lift

The thighs are another area typically affected by loose or redundant skin after major weight loss. A thigh lift removes excess tissue from the inner or outer thighs to improve shape, smoothness, and comfort. This procedure can dramatically enhance leg contours and reduce issues such as skin irritation or chafing. With carefully placed incisions, Dr. Holzman works to maintain symmetry and achieve a balanced, refined appearance in the thigh region.

Lower Body Lift

A lower body lift addresses the abdomen, hips, outer thighs, and buttocks in a single comprehensive surgery. By removing loose skin and tightening underlying structures, a lower body lift can dramatically improve body proportions and comfort. Many patients experience increased confidence and mobility after this procedure, making it a popular choice for those seeking a fuller-body transformation.

Back Lift

A back lift targets rolls, laxity, and excess tissue that may remain along the upper or lower back after weight loss. This procedure removes stretched skin and smooths the back for a firmer, more sculpted appearance. Incisions can be strategically placed to minimize visibility while providing maximum contouring benefits.

Breast Surgeries (Lift, Augmentation, and Reduction)

Weight loss can dramatically affect the breasts, often leading to sagging, volume loss, or asymmetry. A breast lift is designed to restore shape and position by tightening stretched skin and elevating the breast mound. For patients seeking fuller curves, breast augmentation with implants can restore or enhance lost volume. Conversely, a breast reduction may be ideal for individuals who desire smaller, lighter, more proportional breasts. Dr. Holzman can help patients determine the best surgical approach to match their aesthetic goals and body proportions.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Men who lose a significant amount of weight may continue to experience breast enlargement due to gynecomastia, a condition known for excess skin or residual glandular tissue. Gynecomastia surgery removes this tissue and tightens the surrounding area to create a more masculine chest contour. This procedure can greatly improve self-confidence, particularly for men who wish to feel more comfortable shirtless or in fitted clothing.

Facial Rejuvenation Procedures

Weight loss can also impact facial volume and skin elasticity, sometimes revealing sagging or hollow-looking areas. Facial rejuvenation procedures can help enhance your appearance to match your new body contours. Frequently performed procedures include:

• Facelift and Neck Lift: A facelift and neck lift can tighten loose skin and restore definition along the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
• Blepharoplasty: Eyelid surgery addresses drooping lids or under-eye bags to create a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
• Brow Lift: A brow lift can help elevate a heavy or sagging brow, opening the eye area and smoothing forehead lines.
• Neck Liposuction: Generally ideal for removing stubborn fat beneath the chin or along the neck, neck liposuction can enhance overall facial balance.
• BOTOX^® Cosmetic and Dermal Fillers: Non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX^® Cosmetic and dermal fillers can smooth wrinkles, restore facial volume, and refine facial contours with little to no downtime.

Together or individually, these facial treatments can help you achieve a more rejuvenated, harmonious appearance that complements your weight loss results.
