Whether you lost weight with GLP-1 or semaglutides such as Wegovy , Ozempic or Zepbound-or had a bariatric procedure, you will often be left with excess unwanted skin whether it be on the abdomen, arms breasts or legs. Patients with massive weight loss-which can be described as losing more than 75 pounds, will frequently result in significant deformities which can make you self-conscious about your appearance, make it difficult for you to find good clothing fit and interfere with normal activities of daily living as well as exercise. Abdominoplasty is usually the first procedure chosen however all patients need to have an individual plan made up based on their priorities. This 54-year-old woman lost over 120 pounds after a duodenal switch. She originally had mastopexy and brachioplasty because this is what bothered her the most. About 3 months later she underwent a circumferential abdominoplasty to address loose skin of her abdomen flanks and back. She was very pleased with the improvements made especially noting that the excess folds of skin present on her abdomen are now gone.
