Post-weight loss surgery in Seattle helps you turn major weight change into lasting comfort, mobility, and confidence. Significant weight loss can leave extra skin, uneven contours, and tissue laxity that do not respond to the gym alone.
We design a personalized body contouring plan that prioritizes safety, function, and lasting results. You will receive thoughtful guidance from a plastic surgeon on sequencing, recovery, and long-term maintenance so results fit your lifestyle. At PHASE Plastic Surgery, we combine experience with clear communication to keep the process practical and supportive for you.
Your Post-Weight Loss Surgery Options
Our post-weight loss surgery options are tailored to restore balance, function, and long-term comfort.
Abdomen: Reframing the Belly After Weight Loss
When lax skin and a heavy pannus (an overhanging apron of skin and fat on the lower abdomen) affect clothing, activity, and skin health, we often start with abdominoplasty after significant weight reduction. This approach addresses horizontal and vertical laxity, repairs muscle separation when present, and restores a stable waist contour. Removing redundant tissue can reduce rashes and improve your posture, breathing mechanics, and core support.
Breasts and Chest: Lift, Symmetry, and Internal Support
Deflation and descent of the breasts can cause skin irritation and difficulty with bras or activity, making breast lift procedures after losing weight in Seattle a common second-stage step. We tailor your mastopexy options, including auto-augmentation with your own tissue and internal bra reinforcement to support shape over time. For complex revision needs, our experience in correction work helps address asymmetry and prior scars with realistic goals.
Arms and Thighs: Streamlined Function, Not Just Aesthetics
Friction, sleeve fit, and instability may lead you to consider a surgical arm lift after losing significant weight. When inner-thigh laxity contributes to chafing or mobility limits, we plan tightening procedures that support your lymphatic pathways and movement. Incisions are mapped to minimize visibility from common viewpoints while prioritizing function.
Back, Flanks, and Lower Torso: Achieving Circumferential Balance
Skin rolls over the bra line or along the flanks that occur after losing weight can undermine a smooth silhouette, which could make a lower body surgical lift an important step for you. By addressing circumferential laxity, your clothing can fit closer to your body, and sitting becomes more comfortable.
We can work with you to determine which procedure or procedures are right for your post-weight-loss needs.
Staging, Recovery, and Return to Life Following Surgery
Your body contouring surgery after losing weight in Seattle may unfold over one or multiple stages, depending on your goals, medical history, and time off. You will likely be able to walk the day of surgery, start light activity within one to two weeks, and return to desk work as drains and swelling allow.
Swelling and contour refinement evolve for several months, with the three- to six-month mark revealing steady definition. We provide direct surgeon access, frequent check-ins, and individualized compression and scar care routines. Our in-house operating rooms next to clinic spaces simplify follow-up and increase reassurance for you.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Post-Weight Loss Contouring Surgery?
Seattle patients are typically ready for post-bariatric body contouring when their weight has been stable for three to six months, their nutrition is optimized, and their medical conditions are well controlled. Patients should also refrain from smoking and maintain an adequate protein intake to support wound healing and energy during recovery.
We will review your medications, prior procedures, and any skin issues to tailor incision placement and aftercare. If you expect additional weight change, we may stage lighter steps now and more extensive tightening later. The goal is durable results that align with your lifestyle.
