Weight Management: Weight Loss and Excess Skin

Achieving significant weight loss is a remarkable accomplishment that transforms both health and confidence. Metropolitan Plastics has a variety of procedures to help you achieve your weight loss goal. Prescribed medication suppress appetite, slow digestion and regulate blood sugar.

Some individuals who have succeeded in this journey find themselves facing the unexpected challenge of excess skin—a physical reminder of their former self that can cause discomfort, mobility issues, and emotional distress. This residual skin lacks the elasticity to conform to your new body contours, particularly in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and chest.

At Metropolitan Plastic Surgery, we understand that completing your transformation means addressing these concerns with personalized surgical solutions. Our board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in body contouring procedures specifically designed for weight loss patients. These procedures not only remove excess skin and tissue but also reshape and redefine your body's natural contours, allowing you to fully embrace and celebrate the body you have worked so hard to achieve.
