When is the Right Time to Receive Body Contouring After Weight Loss?

When is the Right Time to Receive Body Contouring After Weight Loss?

After major weight loss, it’s common to have excess, inelastic skin and small deposits of stubborn fat. This can be frustrating for many, as inelastic skin and stubborn fat can detract from your new, fit physique. To make the most of your weight loss efforts and achieve a tight, toned body, body contouring is a procedure to consider. 

Body contouring after weight loss may involve liposuction, a tummy tuck, and/or a breast lift to tighten and tone the body. One of the most common questions that patients have regarding this procedure is the best timing for it after losing weight. By strategically timing your body contouring procedure after losing weight, you can get the best possible results.

How to Determine the Right time for Body Contouring after Weight Loss

General Health and Wellness

As with any other surgical procedure, it’s important to consider your overall health before undergoing body contouring. Surgical procedures always come with a risk of complications, and underlying health issues may increase the risks of complications.   If your weight loss involved a new diet or bariatric surgery, it’s wise to spend some time resting and adjusting to your new lifestyle before undergoing surgery. 

Maintaining Your Weight

One of the most important considerations before undergoing body contouring is whether you can maintain your new weight. If you gain a significant amount of weight after the procedure, the results will be lost. So, waiting until you’re sure that you can maintain your new weight is a smart choice for those considering body contouring. A general recommendation is to be weight stable for at least 6 months.

Advice From Your Plastic Surgeon

Speaking with an expert plastic surgeon can clear up your questions about body contouring after weight loss, including timing the procedure. Your surgeon can advise you on the right time to perform the procedure for long-lasting results. 

Dr. Mosiello at Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery can help you determine the appropriate time for body contouring after major weight loss. Schedule an appointment today!

    I love Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery ~ Dr. Moseillo, Mary, Nancy & Paula. I had breast cancer and reconstruction with Dr. Moseillo several years ago and knew I would never let anyone perform surgery on me other than him. I decided I wanted to do an Upper Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). I had the surgery a few months ago, am now at my summer home in Maine and everyone is commenting on how great I look. They have no idea that I had anything done! I keep hearing, “you have amazing eyes”. I am so thrilled with the results, feel 10 years younger and if you’re thinking about this procedure, or any other for that matter, do not hesitate to go to Tampa Palms ?

    I came to Dr. Mosiello’s practice as a reluctant patient who had just been given the diagnosis of breast cancer. I have been in several doctors’ office’s during my diagnosis and treatment and Dr. Mosiello’s office is my favorite. He is a very kind, competent surgeon who patiently answered questions and explained things fully. I was given clear post op directions and checked on by the nurse before my first post op visit and someone was always available if I had a question or concern. His staff is amazing! Melissa, Paula, Mary and Carol are all very personable and caring. This is also an office where I did not wait long periods of time to be seen. Things run smoothly and timely. I would highly recommend Dr. Mosiello to anyone in need of a plastic surgeon.

    Dr. Mosiello taught me how to live again after having breast cancer. His staff is truly a blessing. He is an amazing artist and a wonderful Doctor and friend.

    Dr. Mosiello, plain and simply put , is the BEST ! I did a lot of research and he was the one I chose and am very thankful and grateful that I did, as I had consulted with other plastic surgeons from other cancer centers. Dr. Mosiello surpassed in every area. He and his staff truly care and are warm, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. Which takes the stress out of any pre surgery or procedure. Knowing you have the best surgeon in your corner is the most important part. Post surgical procedures look amazing and he has saved my life, and has made me whole again. Look no further, he IS the best.
