Post Weight Loss Body Contouring Surgery in Eugene Oregon
Body Contouring after Weight Loss in Eugene OR
Losing weight is an amazing achievement, whether you got there with GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, diet and exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle, or bariatric surgery. Shedding excess pounds improves overall health, reduces chronic disease risks, and enhances self-confidence. However, significant weight loss often leaves behind sagging excess skin, particularly around the abdomen, arms, and thighs. This uncomfortable loose skin often restricts movement and damages confidence.
Fortunately, you can call Dr. Najafian if you want to remove excess skin and achieve a smoother, more sculpted appearance. We specialize in post-Ozempic body contouring, and our procedures help you regain a firm yet natural-looking silhouette.
What Is Body Contouring, and Which Parts of the Body Does It Help With?
Body contouring procedures tighten, lift, and shape your body after major weight loss. These cosmetic surgeries eliminate extra skin and stubborn fat tissue deposits, enhancing your body's natural shape. Commonly treated areas include the following:
Abdomen
Arms
Thighs
Breasts
Buttocks
Face and neck
Who's a Good Candidate for Body Contouring?
If you've lost weight and have loose, sagging skin, you may be an excellent candidate for body contouring surgery. In general, factors that determine whether our procedures are right for you include:
Presence of extra skin from dramatic weight loss
How close you are to your goal weight
Your ability to maintain your goal weight
Your overall health and underlying conditions
Realistic goals and a commitment to recovery
How Long Should You Wait After Weight Loss to Have the Procedure?
Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting 6 to 12 months after reaching your target weight before body contouring surgery. This waiting period lets excess skin adjust and ensures long-term maintenance of your goal weight. Nutritional health also matters: If you lost weight rapidly with GLP-1 medications or had bariatric surgery, your body doesn't just need time to make sure you can maintain a stable weight -- it also needs time to stabilize your vitamin and protein levels for proper healing.
How Is Body Contouring Performed?
Dr. Najafian tailors each body contouring surgery to your goals and needs. Treatment plans may include multiple procedures performed in one or more surgical sessions. Depending on the areas we treat, body contouring may include surgeries that remove fat tissue, excise extra skin, and tighten muscles. We perform most surgeries under general anesthesia, with customized techniques that deliver natural-looking results. Recovery times vary by patient, but most require 2 to 6 weeks before resuming normal activities.
