Body Contouring Hobart & Munster - Body-Contouring after Massive Weight Loss
Men and women who lose large amounts of weight, either through surgery or diet and exercise, have taken a great step toward a healthier and happier life. Often, however, they are disappointed by the amount of excess skin and stubborn fat that is left behind. When patients lose a considerable amount of weight over a short period of time, the skin does not have the elasticity to keep up with the weight loss process. This means many are left with loose areas of skin which dimishes the cosmetic result of the weight loss.
Men and women who find themselves in this situation often turn to an array of cosmetic procedures called body contouring. Hobart and Munster plastic surgeon Dr. Brad Ashpole offers a variety of body contouring techniques to his patients in Northwest Indiana. Body contouring after massive weight loss can address issues in the abdomen, arms, thighs and breasts to create a more sculpted look after weight loss. Body contouring is a very individual process, which needs to be carefully tailored to the needs of each patient. Common techniques used include:
- Liposuction
- Tummy-Tuck
- Arm-lift
- Thigh Lift
- Breast Lift
A combination of several procedures is often used to achieve the individual cosmetic goals of the patient. For men and women considering body contouring, Hobart and Munster plastic surgeon Dr. Ashpole will create an individualized surgical plan based on your specific issues and aesthetic goals. As with any surgical procedure, body contouring carries with it numerous benefits and risks which should be carefully weighed during the decision making process. Dr. Ashpole will thoroughly discuss each procedure’s benefits, as well as issues such as scarring, downtime and recovery with you during your consultation.
