While losing weight is a major accomplishment, individuals who have lost a significant amount are often left with loose skin and stubborn pockets of fat that can make it difficult to achieve their ideal physique. Post-weight loss surgery in Portland can address these concerns, helping refine your results and complete your weight-loss journey.
These procedures contour the figure and can be customized to your unique needs. As a leading specialist in post-weight-loss surgery, Dr. Aaron Gilson and his dedicated team at Gilson Plastic Surgery can help you understand your options and decide which is the right option for your goals.
Diet and exercise changes can help Portland individuals lose a significant amount of weight and are a great way to improve overall health. However, there are limits to what these lifestyle changes alone can do for your figure. Excess skin can remain in areas that have slimmed down, and fat can be resistant to natural weight loss efforts in certain parts of the body.
Loose skin typically does not shrink naturally due to loss of elasticity, and it can limit mobility, create hygiene issues, and be aesthetically undesirable. The most effective way to address this is through surgery, which can help individuals who have lost weight cross the finish line to their ideal physique.
Post-weight loss surgery can help Portland clients celebrate their weight loss by addressing excess skin and enhancing their new figure. This surgery can target many areas of the body that are prone to post-weight loss challenges, including the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, buttocks, and face. Benefits of these procedures include:
Post-weight loss surgery is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Whether you are addressing excess skin or enhancing your body’s proportions, your treatment plan is designed around your anatomy, goals, and desired outcome to achieve results that look and feel natural.
Dr. Gilson is skilled in post-weight loss contouring procedures that can address excess skin and stubborn fat concerns in various areas of the body. We work with Portland-area patients to develop a customized surgical plan based on your unique needs, likely encompassing a combination of the following procedures:
The upper arms are one of the most common areas for excess skin to accumulate after weight loss. An arm lift removes this skin and tightens this area.
Lifts and contours your natural breast tissue. This procedure improves the size and shape of the breasts by addressing sagging and can be combined with breast augmentation for added volume.
Removes excess skin and fat in the abdomen and can tighten loosened abdominal muscles. You can also opt for a mini-tummy tuck, which focuses on the lower abdomen and has a faster recovery time.
This procedure improves the shape of the legs and creates a more toned appearance.
If you have completed your weight loss journey and are looking to tighten and tone your shape, our customizable body contouring procedures can help you achieve a look you love.
