Why Body Contouring Is the Next Step After Medical Weight Loss

Losing a significant amount of weight through treatments like Ozempic® or other GLP-1 medical weight loss programs is an incredible achievement. You’ve worked hard to improve your health and transform your body. But after the pounds come off, many people are surprised to find that loose or sagging skin remains. This is where body contouring becomes the next natural step in your transformation journey.

At Saltz Plastic Surgery, Dr. Justin Webb brings advanced training and a modern approach to body contouring after medical weight loss, helping patients achieve smooth, natural-looking results that complement their hard-earned transformations. As a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of aesthetic procedures, Dr. Webb combines surgical precision with compassionate care to guide each patient toward renewed confidence and lasting results.

Why You May Need Body Contouring

When you lose weight quickly, your skin doesn’t always have time to shrink back to your new shape. The result can be stretched or hanging skin around the abdomen, arms, thighs, and other areas. While medical weight loss addresses fat and metabolic health, it doesn’t tighten or lift the skin. Body contouring procedures remove excess skin and sculpt the body, revealing the smooth, toned shape you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Popular Body Contouring Options

Depending on your unique needs, body contouring may include:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Gets rid of excess skin and tightens muscles in the midsection.
• Arm lift: Eliminates sagging skin on the upper arms for a more defined shape.
• Thigh lift: Smooths and reshapes the thighs after significant weight loss.
• Lower body lift: Targets the abdomen, hips, and thighs for comprehensive improvement.
• Non-surgical options: Treatments like radiofrequency skin tightening or CoolSculpting® can refine and enhance results without surgery.

Many patients choose to combine procedures for comprehensive reshaping and a balanced, natural appearance.
