Loose skin after losing weight? With the help of plastic surgery, you can reshape your body and build firm, firm and slim muscles.

Weight loss has become one of the goals of modern people's lives and is often equated with health. But there are some people, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call them patients, who have a BMI value (weight divided by height squared) far greater than the standard. In addition to appearance problems, these people often suffer from many diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, heart disease, kidney disease, etc.

Therefore, helping these people lose weight is actually treating various metabolic diseases for them. But no matter which method we use to lose weight, most of what we lose is fat under the skin or around the internal organs, and what is often left is loose skin. It is difficult to associate this body shape with successful weight loss and health. At this time, what we need is the body reshaping designed by the skillful hands of plastic surgeons.

After losing a lot of weight, you need a plastic surgeon to reshape your body

After losing a lot of weight, a person's appearance will be like a deflated balloon, and the skin on the surface will find it difficult to return to being smooth and firm. Only by removing the excess skin, tightening it and suturing it, can you have a chance to regain your attractive figure. In addition, the incomplete fat reduction will be removed by extraction. Common loose areas include: lower abdomen, upper abdomen, chest, buttocks, butterfly sleeves, inner thighs, and face.

The extra skin area is often tens of centimeters, so the surgical wound will be quite long. It is necessary to cut off such a large amount of skin and suture such a long wound, so the scar can only be hidden well so that it will not be easily seen. We most often use the bikini line, lower breast line, hairline, front ear line, and inner sides of limbs to hide our surgical scars. Therefore, even if the surgical wound is very long, we have to make it difficult for others to notice it.

Autologous fat transplantation to restore proper volume

In some specific places, even if the skin is tightened, it is difficult to restore the body to a good-looking shape. At this time, we need to call on "fat", which is both our enemy and our friend, to help. In some areas where too much fat has been lost due to weight loss, we need to perform autologous fat transplantation to restore the proper volume. For example: face, buttocks, and breasts, which may become loose due to excessive weight loss. In addition to trimming and shaping excess skin, fat backfilling is often required to achieve a "thin, slender" look.

As the old saying goes: A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. This is like what the fighters who work hard to lose weight say: when their weight, BMI and body fat have reached the target, they need us, plastic surgeons, to help them reshape their body and complete the last ten miles. Regain youth and move towards health.
