Losing a significant amount of weight is a huge achievement — whether through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. But many people are left with loose, sagging skin that hides their hard-earned results. Body contouring after weight loss is a transformative solution that helps tighten skin, reshape the body, and boost confidence. Dr. Shivam Dang, a skilled plastic and cosmetic surgeon in Dehradun, offers customized post-weight loss body contouring procedures to help you complete your transformation journey.
Why Is Body Contouring Needed After Weight Loss?
When you lose a lot of weight, your skin often lacks the elasticity to shrink back to your new body shape. This results in folds of excess skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, and even the chest or face. These folds not only affect your appearance but can also cause hygiene issues, rashes, discomfort, and difficulty in wearing fitted clothes. Body contouring removes this extra skin and restores firmness and tone to your figure.
Common Areas Targeted for Contouring
After major weight loss, the most commonly treated areas include:
- Abdomen – through a tummy tuck or lower body lift
- Arms – using arm lift (brachioplasty) to remove sagging skin
- Thighs – inner and outer thigh lifts for smoother legs
- Back and flanks – eliminating loose skin around the sides and bra line
- Breasts or chest – for both men and women to improve contour and firmness
Dr. Shivam Dang evaluates your body and goals to recommend the best combination of procedures.
What to Expect from the Procedure
Body contouring surgeries are typically done in stages, especially if multiple areas are being addressed. Recovery can vary depending on the extent of the surgery but generally involves rest, use of compression garments, and gradual return to activities. You may experience swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort, which is manageable with prescribed medications.
Dr. Shivam Dang ensures a smooth recovery plan and regular follow-ups to monitor healing and results.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes, the results of post-weight loss body contouring can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight. However, significant weight fluctuations or pregnancies after surgery may affect outcomes. That’s why it’s essential to commit to a healthy lifestyle post-surgery.
Conclusion:
Body contouring after weight loss is more than a cosmetic procedure — it’s a way to celebrate your transformation and feel comfortable in your own skin. Under the expert care of Dr. Shivam Dang, you can achieve a body that reflects the effort you’ve put into becoming healthier.
