Making the decision to lose a significant amount of weight is a substantial step in your journey to attaining a firmer physique. Further supplementing your weight loss with body contouring procedures can slim down areas of the body where sagging skin is present. After losing a significant amount of weight, excess skin is often left behind; this skin tends to sag and droop, masking your hard-earned results. Undergoing post bariatric surgery can remove and reposition excess skin for firm contours. Moreover, post bariatric surgery can achieve long-lasting results for patients. Below are some areas that post bariatric surgery can target.
Tighten The Midsection
Excess skin around the midsection can be corrected with tummy tuck surgery. During this procedure, sagging skin is removed and re-draped to promote a firmer-looking abdomen. Additionally, stomach muscles that have been stretched and weakened due to weight gain or pregnancy can be tightened with a tummy tuck to eliminate bulging.
Lift The Breasts
Weight loss may affect the size and shape of your breasts. Opting for a breast lift can restore youthful positioning to the breasts. Your NJ plastic surgeon can carefully raise the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. Breast lift surgery will also move the nipples and surrounding areolas to a higher position and correct nipple size for perkier-looking, proportional breasts.
Firm The Arms
The presence of lax skin around the upper arms is common after substantial weight loss. This can take away from arm definition, as drooping skin may cover up your musculature. An arm lift can re-drape loose arm skin to improve sagging for slimmer-looking, toned arms.
Contour The Thighs & Buttocks
Patients may notice excess skin around the thighs or buttocks after undergoing weight loss. Thigh lift surgery can improve the aesthetic of your lower body in numerous ways. Excess skin can be removed around the upper legs and buttocks to eliminate laxity. Moreover, repositioning loose skin can correct dimpling and irregularities that contribute to an older-looking appearance. As a result, thigh lift surgery can achieve a firmer, younger-looking lower body.

The abdominals are one of the most troublesome areas for those trying to sculpt a firm physique. Even after consistently watching what you eat and training hard at the gym, those final layers of flab around the stomach may remain; whether this is due to factors such as age, genetics, or the effects of pregnancy depends on the individual patient. However, there are various body contouring solutions that can tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin from around the midsection in order to sculpt a flatter, firmer tummy.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, can surgically tighten abdominal muscles by removing excess skin and fat around the stomach and repositioning stomach muscles to create a firm abdominal wall. Tummy tucks are ideal for patients struggling to lose those remaining layers of stubborn belly fat, even after consistent diet and exercise. Additionally, women who have endured pregnancy often have stretched stomach muscles that cannot be tightened through traditional methods. Tummy tuck surgery can tighten these areas for a firmer stomach and waistline to provide long-lasting results.
CORE Abdominoplasty
Patients suffering from loose or stretched abdominal muscles may benefit from CORE Abdominoplasty. This surgical procedure can result in a firmer abdominal profile by combining a tummy tuck with a unique technique known as the “Table Tilt Test.” During this portion of the CORE Abdominoplasty procedure, Dr. Asaadi will raise the operating table to a 45° angle in order to identify and correct any bulging that may occur when the patient is upright. The CORE Abdominoplasty technique allows for more precise results than traditional abdominoplasty procedures in which the patient is simply lying flat. Women who have stretched stomach muscles as a result of pregnancy, as well as patients whose abdominal muscles have weakened over time, can benefit from CORE Abdominoplasty.
MAsterTuck
MAsterTuck is a specialized truncal liposuction procedure targeting the abdominals, flanks, and back. MAsterTuck can effectively remove small pockets of localized fat while also tightening skin all in one procedure. MAsterTuck utilizes the VASER® LipoSelection system to separate fat cells for removal. VASER® is a minimally invasive form of liposuction—making MAsterTuck an ideal liposuction option for patients looking to minimize downtime and recovery after undergoing their body contouring procedure. Those looking to eliminate stubborn layers of fat or flabby skin from the belly, flanks, or back, can opt for MAsterTuck to achieve significant skin tightening and fat removal results.
