But the downside to significant weight loss is it can result in excess, sagging, or overhanging skin and a misshapen body contour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve lost a lot of weight and are dealing with excess skin\nissues, plastic surgery can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, the team at Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery discusses how plastic surgery can benefit you post-weight-loss and whether you\u2019re a good\ncandidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Plastic Surgery Helps after Losing Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After losing a significant amount of weight, a number of plastic\nsurgery options are available. Plastic surgery can improve the contour of your\nbody and get rid of loose or overhanging skin, which may cause chafing or\nrashes, or make it difficult to fit into clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedures include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Panniculectomy \u2013 Gets rid of overhanging skin (pannus)\n     from the lower abdomen<\/li><li>Lower body lift \u2013 Reshapes the waist, hips, thighs,\n     buttocks, and abdomen<\/li><li><a href=\"\/procedures\/body\/tummy-tuck\/\">Tummy tuck<\/a>\n     \u2013 Removes excess skin and tightens the lower abdomen<\/li><li>Breast lift, augmentation, or reduction \u2013 Improves the\n     appearance of the breasts and gives them the desired shape and size&nbsp;<\/li><li>Upper arm lift \u2013 Gets rid of sagging skin from the\n     upper arms<\/li><li>Thigh lift \u2013 Removes excess skin and creates the\n     appearance of more proportionate thighs<\/li><li><a href=\"\/procedures\/face\/facelift\/\">Facelift<\/a> \u2013\n     Removes and tightens loose skin around the lower half of the face and neck<\/li><li><a href=\"\/procedures\/body\/liposuction\/\">Liposuction<\/a>\n     \u2013 Removes stubborn pockets of body fat from areas such as the waist,\n     thighs, buttocks, upper arms, and knees<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any type of surgical procedure you have will result in scarring.\nBut experienced plastic surgeons minimize the visibility of scars, and most\npeople find their overall improved appearance offsets this disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are You a Good Candidate for Plastic Surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be considered a good candidate for plastic surgery after losing\nweight, you should meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You achieved your goal weight and don\u2019t plan to lose\n     any more weight.<\/li><li>Your weight has remained stable for at least six\n     months, and it\u2019s been at least two years since you started losing weight.<\/li><li>Your health is good, and you don\u2019t have heart disease\n     or diabetes.<\/li><li>You maintain a healthy diet and don\u2019t smoke.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If these conditions apply, you should speak to a qualified plastic\nsurgeon about creating a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact Us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about your options for\nplastic surgery after weight loss, call or email the team at Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery to <a href=\"\/contact\/\">schedule\na consultation<\/a> with Dr. Garrett Harper.<strong><br>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"grp-excerpt\">\n<p>In most cases, losing weight allows people to lead more active, healthier lives.
