Introduction

Get Rid of Excess Skin for Sleeker Contours at the Milwaukee and Madison Area’s Parkins Plastic Surgery

For individuals on a mission to shed a significant amount of weight, the journey often doesn’t stop when they reach their ideal weight on the scale. Shedding 50, 60, even 100 pounds and more creates drooping tissue. Post weight loss surgery at the Milwaukee area’s Parkins Plastic Surgery can help.

Patients who have been overweight for many years often have skin that is stretched and sagging after excess body fat has been lost. The final step in their commitment to health, wellness, and body confidence is often a full body lift to excise loose skin and create the contours they’ve worked so hard for.

What Is Post-Weight Loss Surgery?

Post-weight loss surgery focuses on tightening loose skin after massive weight loss. Shedding a great deal of weight in a short amount of time, such as is common with bariatric surgery and weight-loss injections, can lead to sagging skin that is unable to retract after fat loss.

Post-weight loss surgery can yield tremendous benefits, both physically and psychologically. It can not only decrease the irritation, chafing, immobility, and discomfort associated with redundant skin folds but can also restore confidence and peace of mind, offering patients a sense of closure around their unique weight loss journey.

The Benefits of Skin Removal After Weight Loss

There are a multitude of benefits to body lift procedures. Most notably, post-weight-loss surgery patients typically get a tremendous boost in self-esteem and body confidence. Additional positive changes surgery can create include no longer needing to use constricting shapewear, a smooth body shape with no more lumps and bumps from excess skin, an easier time finding flattering clothing that fits, more comfortable exercise and routine activities, and reduced chafing and rashes from rubbing skin.

Dr. Parkins’ post-weight-loss-surgery patients experience a new lease of life and feel more like themselves. It can be difficult to feel confident with excessive loose skin accumulating on limbs and the midsection, but skin removal surgery is designed to liberate patients from cumbersome extra tissue and enable them to enjoy the results of their hard work.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Post-Weight Loss Surgery?

Ideal candidates for post-weight loss surgery with Dr. Parkins in the Milwaukee and Madison area may struggle with loose, hanging skin that often causes irritation and discomfort, not to mention self-consciousness. It can be difficult to deal with sagging skin after accomplishing the success of significant weight loss, and many patients feel depressed about their appearance even after achieving their contouring goals. To qualify for post-weight loss surgery, patients should be healthy non-smokers who have realistic expectations for their results based on a private consultation with Dr. Parkins and her caring team.

Customizing Your Post-Weight Loss Surgery Treatment

As with body makeover procedures for Mommy Makeover patients, cosmetic surgery after losing weight does not include the same procedures for everyone. Each patient’s body will look different after they reach their goal weight, and the elasticity of soft tissue can differ based on age, amount of excess weight lost, and other unique factors.

Dr. Maida Parkins recommends that all patients considering post-weight-loss surgery visit our office for a consultation prior to making a decision. This allows her to get to know her patients and better understand their areas of concern. A physical examination enables Dr. Parkins to identify areas of the body where excess skin is the least elastic and determine the extent of post-weight-loss surgery treatment required to achieve smooth, defined body contours.

Dr. Parkins recommends a treatment plan to help you love the way you look. Patients who have worked strenuously to achieve a healthy weight and a normal-range BMI can finally see the shape and physique that inspired them to commit to a new lifestyle after undergoing post-weight loss surgery. Understanding your BMI before your consultation will help determine your eligibility for surgery. The look of joy on patients’ faces is what makes Dr. Parkins and our entire staff so passionate about their profession. Upon leaving your consultation, you will have a post-weight-loss-surgery treatment plan to review, detailing each recommended procedure.

Full Body Lift Surgery in Lake Country

Many post-weight-loss surgery procedures prove beneficial for patients seeking effective body contouring, and some can be combined for added benefits. A torsoplasty, tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift, breast lift (with or without augmentation), and liposuction may be included in your treatment plan.

The primary goal of these post-weight-loss surgery procedures is to remove excess skin and reposition tissue to achieve a clearly defined body shape. The most popular procedures are often a tummy tuck and breast lift with or without augmentation.

Many patients have concerns about their abdomen after weight loss, because skin can pool around the mid-section, making routine activity uncomfortable and creating low self-esteem. A breast lift is often added during tummy tuck surgery to raise the breast position on the chest wall, creating a rejuvenated look. Post-weight-loss surgery patients who want their breasts to have the same volume as they did before they lost weight can also choose a variety of implants to meet this goal.

Post-weight loss surgery is divided into phases, allowing patients to recover comfortably and manage the time they need to take away from work and routine duties.

Recovery From Post-Weight Loss Surgery

Patients who undergo two or more post-weight loss surgery procedures in a single surgery can expect a different recovery experience compared to those who opt for a single procedure. However, combining treatments can be more convenient in many ways. Dr. Parkins ensures that you have all the necessary information about the post-treatment experience when you leave your consultation.

Your recovery process will depend on which post-weight-loss surgery procedures were performed during your surgery. Patients whose treatments included only skin removal and fat removal, such as an arm or thigh lift and liposuction, may have a more comfortable initial recovery experience than patients who underwent a procedure that affects underlying muscle, such as an abdominoplasty.

Compression garments are also placed to assist with this process. It’s highly important to arrange for a loved one or caregiver to be with you at home during your post-weight-loss-surgery recuperation. You are required to have someone stay with you the first night after surgery, and you may want someone to stay longer to help out.
