If you’ve undergone massive weight loss with the help of diet, exercise, GLP-1 agonist (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Trulicity®, Mounjaro®) or even undergone weight loss procedures, like bariatric surgery, you understand the intense process necessary to lose extreme amounts of weight. Whatever it took for you to lose it, you know the hard work, dedication, and effort you must put in to overcome both journeys.
An unfortunate product of this incredible effort can be sagging, unwanted skin around the abdomen, breasts, thighs, or arms. This can leave many still hiding beneath their clothes and unable to enjoy their extraordinary efforts. And every patient should be able to enjoy their new body and confidence.
For many patients, post weight loss skin removal is the final step in completing their transformation. After significant weight loss, loose skin can make it difficult to fully enjoy the results achieved through diet and exercise. Skin folds may cause discomfort, restrict movement, make exercise more challenging, and affect self-confidence.
DrBfixin understands the work effort massive weight loss patients have been through. He wants his patients to feel comfortable, confident, and excited to show off their new body. That’s why he helps weight loss patients find the beauty they worked so hard for and come to the surface.
As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. B creates customized treatment plans for patients seeking skin removal surgery after weight loss. His goal is to help patients address excess skin and fat while creating natural-looking body contours that complement their weight loss achievements.
One of DrBfixin’s massive weight loss patients had this to say about her transformative surgeries,
“I worked so hard to lose weight, but when I did, I still felt like I had to hide all the loose skin covering my body. I felt like all of my hard work was for nothing. Dr. B made me as beautiful on the outside as I feel on the inside. I used to feel depressed about my appearance, but Dr. B removed the extra skin and allowed me to enjoy my new body and hard work. I have never felt as sexy, confident, and complete as I do today.”

DrBfixin will customize a plan to help every massive weight loss patient feel excellent about their effort and dedication to lose weight. These plans often require multiple surgeries and visits but are worth the life-changing benefits. Some of these surgeries can include the following list. Our results speak for themselves.
Every post weight loss plastic surgery plan is tailored to the individual. Patients who have experienced significant weight loss often develop loose skin in multiple areas of the body. Dr. B evaluates each patient's goals, skin quality, and overall health to determine the best approach to post weight loss body contouring.
A tummy tuck can help remove the excess skin around the abdomen and hide stretch marks that often accompany weight loss.
DrBfixin’s ultimate tummy tuck combines abdominoplasty with liposuction and side abdominal muscle sutures to eliminate all excess skin, flatten the abdomen, and correct any muscle separation in the abdomen. He may also need to relocate or restructure the belly button depending on the extent of the surgery.
An upper body lift, or “bra lift,” addresses sagging skin in the upper back and around the sides of the chest. It eliminates unwanted rolls around the bra line and in the upper to mid area of the back.
A circumferential body lift removes all excess skin around the lower torso, hips, and buttocks. This surgery is intended for patients with extreme amounts of loose skin and can completely transform their lower body.
DrBfixin can perform a breast lift to help patients with sagging skin around their breast tissue. He can remove, lift, and tighten the skin to help set the breasts in a higher location.
An arm lift will address the loose and sagging skin around the arms. For his massive weight loss patients, DrBfixin commonly adds liposuction to this procedure. This allows the arms to have shape, lose extra skin, and eliminate leftover fat deposits.
DrBfixin can perform a thigh lift during a body lift to erase any excess skin on the thighs. He can also smooth the outside of the thighs and bring shape to the inside of the thighs. For massive weight loss patients, this can help redefine their legs and show off their hard work.
A Brazilian Butt Lift can help enhance and reshape the buttocks. Massive weight loss patients often have loose skin around their rear, making it difficult for their buttocks to gain shape. A BBL can redefine the rear end and allow patients to enjoy new, shapely buttocks.
With massive weight loss comes excessive amounts of skin and sometimes wrinkles around the neck. A neck lift will help remove excess skin, tighten the remaining skin, and erase wrinkles throughout the neck.
It’s common for massive weight loss patients to lose the size and structure of the breast tissue. Breast augmentation can enhance the breasts’ cup size and shape and create beautiful body symmetry. It’s like adding the final touches to your weight loss journey.
Weight loss reconstruction surgery often involves combining multiple procedures to address different areas of the body. Patients who have achieved significant weight loss may benefit from a staged approach that prioritizes the areas causing the most discomfort or concern.
Common goals of skin removal surgery after weight loss include:
DrBfixin wants all of his patients to feel beautiful, which is why he helps create the perfect sequence of surgeries for his massive weight loss patients.

Almost everyone who has undergone massive weight loss has struggled with the excess skin covering their hard work. If you find yourself fighting this, skin removal and shape surgeries may be right for you. DrBfixin can help find the best procedures for your specific circumstance during a consultation.
Patients are often good candidates when they have maintained a stable weight for several months after losing weight and are bothered by loose skin that cannot be improved through diet and exercise alone.
The cost of DrBfixin’s massive weight loss patient surgeries is customized based on the type and extent of procedures a patient undergoes. Dr. B is always upfront and honest about his prices and will provide a custom quote during a consultation.
Because the surgery is tailored to fit the patient’s specific needs, the risks can change depending on the types of surgery performed. However, infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia are common risks for any medical surgery. Working with a top cosmetic surgeon, like Dr. B, is the best way to mitigate risk.
Choosing a procedure performed by experienced, board certified plastic surgeons and carefully following post-operative instructions can help support a smoother recovery and optimal results.
