Is Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss the 2022 Trend You Should Consider?

We all know that during a covid pandemic, many people were forced to work from home. Many people focus on a healthy diet and exercise routine while quarantined or working from home. Weight loss has become a focus, and many predict that plastic surgery following weight loss will be a new trend in 2022. However, after significant weight loss, the loose skin that results is often uncomfortable, limiting physical activity and making them feel self-conscious. The removal of loose skin completes their physical transformation.

Dr. Dhaval Patel consults with patients looking for a skin removal surgery in Chicago after weight loss and can address a patient's primary concerns in a single operation.

Why consider plastic surgery after weight loss?

Losing weight improves your overall health by reversing conditions such as diabetes and sleep apnea, as well as lowering your risk of heart disease and cancer. Unfortunately, if you have been overweight for a long time, losing weight can have unintended consequences. Many people are embarrassed by their weight loss and are unable to show off their new figure because of excess skin and sagging skin.

Where the skin overlaps, the excess sagging skin is also prone to rashes and fungal infections. In addition to excess skin, many people have stubborn fat deposits that no amount of exercise or dieting can remove, leaving them even more dissatisfied with their appearance.

Body Contouring Surgery in Chicago

Body contouring surgery encompasses several procedures that target excess skin and stubborn fat that remains after weight loss. These procedures aid in the restoration of natural body contours and the removal of sagging skin around the neck, face, breast, arms, midsection, and thighs.

Plastic surgery procedure after weight loss

Plastic surgery after weight loss is highly individualised and is dependent on the areas of the body that need to be addressed. While each procedure focuses on a specific area of the body, these procedures, such as mommy makeovers, can be combined to address multiple areas at once. Our top plastic surgeons in Chicago perform surgical procedures following weight loss such as:

Facelift

Significant weight loss may cause changes in your face and neck that make you appear older. Face, neck, and jowl sagging skin can all contribute to an aged appearance. A neck lift or facelift can help remove this excess skin and restore your youth. Furthermore, if weight loss and ageing have contributed to a loss of facial volume, fat transfer during your facelift can help to restore fullness.

Breast lift

Breast ptosis, or sagging breasts, is extremely common following significant weight loss. Breast lift surgery in Chicago lifts and repositions the breasts and nipples, restoring them to their natural position on the chest and giving you a more youthful and toned appearance.

Arm lift

Excess skin on the arms contributes to bat wings, whether due to weight loss or ageing, making many people self-conscious when wearing tank tops or short-sleeved shirts. Arm lift surgery removes excess skin and tissue from your upper arms, giving them a smoother, more defined appearance and removing bat wings.

Tummy tuck

The midsection is addressed by a tummy tuck. When you carry extra weight, your skin stretches and your abdominal muscles weaken. The surgeon can tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess abdominal skin and tissue during a tummy tuck. This helps to restore a more toned and flattened abdomen, highlighting your new curves. Adding liposuction to your tummy tuck may be suggested by your surgeon to remove areas of stubborn fat and improve your results. CI Plastic is one of the best tummy tuck clinics in Chicago, with cutting-edge technology and a knowledgeable staff.

Buttock enhancement

Weight loss can take volume away from areas where you want to appear fuller. While losing weight allows you to fit back into your favourite jeans, your buttocks may be looking a little flat. Buttock enhancement can give you the curves and volume you want while also perfectly filling out your favourite jeans

Thigh lift

Excess skin on the upper thighs caused by weight loss frequently causes uncomfortable chafing when walking or exercising. A thigh lift removes excess skin from the upper and inner thighs, giving you a more toned look.

What is the best time to consider body contouring surgery?

Deciding when to have plastic surgery after losing weight can be difficult. Should you wait a while or have the surgery right away? Are there any risks to considering when to schedule your surgery?

Here are some questions to consider when deciding when to have your surgery:

●    Is my weight stable and stable enough for me to maintain?

●    Would a doctor consider my overall health to be good?

●    Is it at least a month since I last smoked?

Is it the right option?

It's critical to understand that surgery after massive weight loss is a fairly involved procedure designed to address a specific problem in a specific group of patients. If you want slimmer thighs, a flatter stomach, or a thinner neck, there are less invasive procedures available. Your plastic surgeon will advise you on the best course of treatment for you.

 

Congratulations on becoming a healthier and slimmer person if you have recently lost a significant amount of weight. However, if you are dissatisfied with your excess or sagging skin, consult our double board-certified surgeon Dr. Dhaval Patel to see if you are a good candidate for excess skin removal surgery.
