Body Contouring Procedures
What procedures are available to help you put the finishing touches on your rapid weight loss? Drs. Ali and Tamir can help you craft a package that fits your needs.
Arm Lift
The arm lift is a procedure that slims the upper arms by removing stubborn fat and stretched wings of skin. A few different incision options are available, and an arm lift may be combined with liposuction to further contour the area. Excess skin is removed, and the tissues are lifted to a more upright position. The result is a more trim, toned appearance to your upper arms.
What are the Benefits of an Arm Lift?
- Better confidence while wearing sleeveless clothing
- Improved hygiene
- Minimal visible scarring
Thigh Lift
The thigh lift can get rid of sagging skin and fat from the upper legs. Using a few different incisions, it can lift and restore the skin of the legs and hips, creating a slimmer, more toned appearance. It can also remove stubborn fat that contributes to chafing and irritation during exercise. If you tend to carry weight in your thighs, and especially if you lost significant weight in your thighs, a thigh lift can help.
How Does a Thigh Lift Address Excess Skin After Weight Loss?
Chafing and irritation are two of the most common concerns of post-weight-loss patients. If you experience painful chafing when walking long distances or exercising because of leftover skin and fat, a thigh lift can get rid of it and help you feel more comfortable wearing shorts or swimsuits.
Tummy Tuck
The tummy tuck is an integral post-weight-loss procedure. Weight gain can cause the skin and muscles of the stomach to stretch without returning to their natural position when you lose weight. If you have hanging skin and stretched, separated abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck can help. It uses incisions to tighten and flatten the stomach, further refining it with liposuction to remove stubborn skin.
What are the Benefits of a Tummy Tuck?
- Stronger, more functional abdominal muscles
- A tighter waist and better clothing fit
- Easily concealable incisions
Breast Lift
The breast lift is a procedure that can restore the breasts to a more upright position by removing stretched, sagging skin. It can bring the breasts higher on the chest when they sag and fall downward. Think of it as creating the look of wearing a bra without actually wearing one. If you experienced significant weight gain in your breasts, a breast lift is an ideal option.
How Does a Breast Lift Restore Breast Shape After Weight Loss?
When you gain weight, the fat tissue in your breasts can grow similarly to everywhere else on the body. This excess fat can put more strain on the breasts, causing them to sag and stretch the skin. A breast lift reverses this process, creating breasts that are more youthful-looking, upright, and perky.
Facelift
The facelift can lift and restore the facial tissues when they begin to sag and form wrinkles. For people who lose significant weight, the face can begin to age prematurely (it’s especially common in GLP-1 patients). If your face looks older and more tired after losing weight, a facelift can help.
What are the Benefits of a Facelift?
- Minimal incisions
- Recaptures your youthful appearance
- Long-lasting results
Neck Lift
The neck lift can get rid of sagging, excess skin around the neck and chin. This is one area where we tend to gain weight, and the skin may not retract completely after weight loss. Sagging skin around the neck can make you appear more aged, even if you otherwise don’t have signs of aging.
How Does a Neck Lift Restore Your Appearance After Weight Loss?
A slender, defined neck and jawline is one of the hallmarks of youthfulness and beauty. If you’ve lost definition in your neck and chin because of weight fluctuations, a neck lift is a valuable part of post-weight-loss surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from recovery?
Recovery from most body contouring and surgical lift procedures takes 1-2 weeks away from work. For 4-6 weeks, you can expect to avoid any strenuous activities. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but typically subside significantly after the first week. Drs. Ali and Tamir will give you detailed instructions on wearing a compression garment, caring for your incisions and drains, and when to follow up with our team.
Do you offer financing?
We understand the cost of post-weight-loss body contouring can be significant, but we firmly believe that you should never look for “cheap” plastic surgery – you’ll inevitably get what you pay for. We offer financing options through CareCredit, PatientFi, and Cherry so you can find ways to work your cost into your budget. We also offer special pricing for upfront cash payments.
