It’s essential to understand that each person's body contouring following weight loss experience will vary based on the specific procedures needed and individual factors. Depending on the extent of the case, and number of areas, more than one surgery session or treatment may be required to achieve the desired results. Dr. Setty and our experienced team are dedicated to providing personalized care and support throughout the entire process. Generally, patients can expect some common experiences:
Surgical procedures can range from tummy tucks and body lifts to arm lifts and thigh lifts, depending on individual needs. The extent of surgery will influence the overall recovery process. Typically, there is a wait of 3-6 months between different stages of surgery.
Initial recovery may take several weeks, with patients gradually returning to normal activities.
Full recovery and optimal results might take several months.
Post-surgery, patients may need to wear compression garments to support healing and contouring.
Follow-up appointments with Dr. Setty are crucial for monitoring progress.
Visible results will emerge over time as swelling subsides. While scars are inevitable, they will fade over time, and the final outcome will enhance body contours and address loose skin. Once healed, there are several non-surgical options available to make scars less noticeable.
