Body Contouring After Weight Loss: What You Ought to Know

If you’ve recently embarked on a weight loss journey or know someone who has drastically shed pounds, you may have been advised to consider body contouring. Although everyone doesn’t require it, some people who dramatically lose weight often develop skin folds which we call excessive skin. This is because their skin tissues are unable to adapt to the rapid changes and end up drooping completely instead of shrinking back. This is the same process that happens after pregnancy with the rapid weight gain and weight loss that occurs. It can be quiet a disappointment to see unsightly folds of skin on your body, especially after you’ve spent your blood and sweat to lose all that weight. Looks like all the hard work still wasn’t enough. It could also be a natural loss of skin elasticity that can lead to folds. But, don’t stress. There’s a perfectly safe solution to this: a body contouring surgery with excessive skin excision. With a simple and quick surgery, you can safely get rid of all that sagging skin and enjoy a shapely, well-toned body that you really deserve. Here’s what you need to know: 

Why Do I Need Body Contouring Surgery?

No-one can make peace with the sagging skin after months of working towards weight loss. And that’s the biggest reason why body contouring surgery can solve and improve all your skin deformities in a matter of moments. Excess skin can also cause hygiene issues, problems with skin infections and make fitting into a dress akin to trekking a mountain.

Apart from medical problems and low self-confidence, chronic skin-on-skin contact can cause you to develop infections and rashes. Instead of experiencing all these struggles, simply opting for body contouring surgery will do away with all of it. 

What Parts of My Body Can a Contouring Surgery Fix?

Body contouring is widely used for tummy tucks and lower body lifts. However, if you’ve worked hard for an overall transformation, you may also need arm lifts, facelifts, and breast lifts. With speedy procedures, all your skin folds and dimples can be surgically removed and will be gone. You can now proudly show some skin with leg-bare dresses and corsets. Technically, you can get any part of your body tightened and fixed with the surgery. 

Will There Be Any Surgical Risks?

Body contouring is one of the safest surgery procedures because all it does is remove the excess skin and tuck your skin in. You can put aside all your fear and worries. Apart from slight wound-healing difficulties, you won’t be facing much trouble. The fantastic skin-transforming results will make you forget all the discomfort.

Everyone gets some form of scar. However, some scars are a lot better than others. A lot of this depends on your genetic predisposition to scars. Some people do get visible scarring because it is a surgery, after all and you can’t have any kind of surgery without scarring. However, most scars are good and barely perceptible. Plus , your doctor will prescribe medical grade anti scarring creams that need prescriptions, cooling gels and other creams to get rid or improve those scars quickly.
