Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss

Dr. DuPéré’s Plastic Surgery Techniques After Weight Loss

Body contouring procedures after weight loss are complex but very gratifying for both patients and Dr. DuPéré. Since 2001, he has developed and refined his techniques through work at one of Toronto’s LAP-BAND® surgical centers and through several courses with Dr. Ted Lockwood and Dr. J. Peter Rubin, leaders in the post-weight loss surgery industry.

Dr. DuPéré has extensive experience with many different kinds of cases. The results of each patient’s drastic weight loss manifest in different ways, but there are usually a few common areas of concern: the arms, neck, breasts, midsection, buttocks, thighs, and back. Sagging skin is left behind in these regions when the pounds fall away, and no amount of exercise or healthy eating can correct it.

The amount of sagginess is influenced by the amount of weight lost, as well as a patient’s genetics, gender, age, history of pregnancies, level of physical activity, and so on. Some of the procedures recommended for weight loss patients are also used on people who haven’t lost weight, but others have been designed specifically to address the sagging tissue seen in massive weight loss.

Some of the most common procedures Dr. DuPéré performs on post-weight loss patients are:

• Breast lift (mastopexy) with or without implants
• Excision of bra rolls and back rolls
• Male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery)
• Circumferential or vertical torso lift
• Arm lift
• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
• Circumferential belt lipectomy
• Buttock lift or augmentation with or without implants
• Inner or outer thigh lift
• Leg lift
• Female genital rejuvenation
• Face and neck lift

Who is a Candidate for Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss?

Plastic surgery after weight loss is an exceptional solution for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss and now seek to address excess skin, sagging tissues, and body contour irregularities. Ideal candidates for this transformative procedure typically include those who have achieved substantial weight loss through bariatric surgery, diet and exercise, the newer medications such as Ozempic, or other means, leading to loose and redundant skin that hinders them from fully enjoying their new body shape.

Suitable Candidates:

• Stable Weight Maintenance: Candidates for plastic surgery after weight loss should have stabilized their weight for at least six months, ensuring that their weight loss is long-term and sustainable before considering body contouring procedures.
• Good General Health: Candidates should be in overall good health, with no underlying medical conditions that could increase the risks associated with surgery and impede the healing process.
• Excess Skin and Tissue Concerns: Individuals with significant excess skin and tissues in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, chest, neck and face can benefit from plastic surgery after weight loss to achieve a more toned and proportionate appearance.
• Realistic Expectations: It is crucial for candidates to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of plastic surgery after weight loss. While these procedures can dramatically improve body contours, individual results may vary based on factors such as skin elasticity and surgical techniques.
• Commitment to a Healthy Lifestyle: Candidates should be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, which contributes to the longevity of the surgical results.
