After Weight Loss
After losing a significant amount of weight, whether through diet and exercise or through weight loss surgery, both women and men often feel frustrated by sagging or stretched skin. Even liposuction to reduce unwanted fat cannot adequately target excess skin. The solution: body contouring, which can help to reshape and improve these areas of the body:
Ottawa body contouring specialist Dr. Howard Silverman can help you achieve the body shape you desire and deserve. To learn more about body contouring after weight loss from Dr. Silverman, please request a consultation or call our office at 613-792-4137. He looks forward to helping you achieve your cosmetic goals.
Body Contouring Procedures
Dr. Silverman will review your cosmetic goals and recommend an approach designed just for you. Some women and men experience optimal results from a lower body lift, while others may require more extensive lifting in the chest or arm area. It is recommended that patients wait until their bodies have reached a stable weight after their weight loss surgery in Ottawa before body contouring.
To perform a body contouring procedure, Dr. Silverman removes the excess skin and tissue to achieve a toned, attractive appearance. He offers many different contouring procedures, including:
- Lower Body Lift: This body lift involves combining a thigh, buttock and abdominal lift in one procedure.
- Buttock Lift: A buttock lift involves removing excess skin from the outer thighs and buttocks, resulting in a lifted backside.
- Arm Lift: An arm lift involves removing excess skin and tightening sagging in the upper arms, resulting in toned, taut upper arms.
- Breast Lift: Breast lift surgery rejuvenates the breasts by lifting them to a youthful position while improving their shape and firmness.
Depending on the extent of sagging and stretched skin and the procedures you choose, you may need more than one surgery to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Silverman will help you understand which procedures will provide you with the body contours you desire. He will work with you to develop a safe, effective plan. As this surgery is highly individualized, Dr. Silverman designs a unique approach for every patient.
