This procedure removes excess sagging skin and re-contours underlying soft tissue after significant weight loss.
It includes body lifts, arm lifts (brachioplasty), thigh lifts, and tummy tucks—tailored to each patient’s unique areas of concern. The goal is to complement your weight loss with defined, balanced contours, a stable body image, and reduced discomforts, such as chafing or skin infections.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess skin laxity and aesthetics, then a customized surgical plan. Surgery (2–5 hours under general anesthesia) may involve multiple simultaneous lifts. Dr. Narasimhan removes excess skin, repositions tissue, and tightens underlying fascia. Incisions are carefully sutured, often near natural lines. You’ll leave with compression garments and detailed recovery guidelines.
Massive weight loss skin tightening provides relief for:
Targeted lifts include:
You may qualify if you’ve lost 50+ pounds, are at a stable weight, and have sagging skin causing discomfort or self-consciousness.
Candidates should be in good health, non-smoking, and motivated by realistic expectations. Dr. Narasimhan will assess your skin quality, body mass index, and overall goals to design the right plan.
Weeks 1–2: Swelling and bruising peak; compression garments required.
Weeks 2–4: Light walking only; initial activity resumes.
Weeks 4–8: Moderate exercise cleared; scars fade gradually.
Months 3–6: Final contour appears; scars continue to mature.
You’ll receive instructions on wound care, garment use, and scar management for smoother healing.
You'll see improved contours once swelling begins to subside in 4–6 weeks. Final results usually settle by 3–6 months. Functional benefits—like reduced chafing and better movement—begin earlier, while aesthetic gains build gradually and last for years with healthy habits.
After major weight loss, loose skin can hide your achievement, and affect comfort and circulation. Dr. Narasimhan, double-board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, brings precision and compassion to full-body contouring.
He customizes your treatment to preserve function, minimize scarring, and restore natural form. From tummy to thighs, our practice supports your transformation with expert care and attention to well-being.
