Post Weight Loss Body Contouring for Men

Post Weight Loss Body Contouring for Men in Raleigh, NC

Men and women who undergo significant weight loss are to be commended, having overcome a big burden in their life. However, while their weight loss represents a huge accomplishment, in many cases they will be faced with more frustrations. The new challenge is usually the loose skin that remains on the body. Significant weight loss commonly leaves individuals with skin that cannot conform to their new size. Regardless of where the loose skin resides, plastic surgery is needed to resolve the issue.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle offers after weight loss surgical treatment to Raleigh, NC, men and women at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center, which can be life-changing and a lasting step in their weight loss journey. We’re proud to serve patients from Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, Durham, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and surrounding areas across central and coastal North Carolina.

Who Are Ideal Candidates For Surgery After Weight Loss For Men?

The ideal candidates for after weight loss surgery are those who have loose and wrinkled skin due to a massive weight loss or fluctuation. This is usually visible early on during weight loss. If you are challenged by loose skin, cosmetic skin removal at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center can eliminate sagging and secure the tissue and remaining skin for a healthy, tighter look. It is important patients are close to their goal weight before considering skin removal surgery.

What Happens During Surgery After Weight Loss For Men?

Plastic surgery to remove loose skin is almost always considered a major treatment. It is performed using general anesthesia and on average takes about 3 – 7 hours (but this is dependent upon the combination of procedures). In most cases, an overnight stay is necessary. A form of liposuction may be integrated during surgery to remove fat followed by the surgical removal of skin. But in most instances- excision alone is performed.

This operation does make larger incisions than most other cosmetic surgeries, so varying degrees of scars will be associated with this treatment. During surgery, Dr. Lyle will try to make the incisions as inconspicuous as possible. He or a member of his team will give you thorough scar healing instructions for an effective outcome.

What To Expect During Surgery After Weight Loss Recovery For Men?

Once released from our care, it is important to allow a week or two to recover at home. Draining tubes may be implanted near the incision areas to help control drainage, and compression medical garments should be worn to help with swelling. For the average person, it takes roughly 2 – 4 weeks to begin resuming light activities, but it could take longer depending on the level of invasiveness. Dr. Lyle finds that most of his patients are back to normal around 4 – 6 months. Skin removal surgery can be life changing for patients, with amazing results that are immediate. Finally, you will feel confident and wear the clothes you were too uncomfortable to wear and partake in activities without loose skin keeping you from the things you love to do.

FAQs: After Weight Loss Surgery in Raleigh, NC With Dr. glenn Lyle

How much does after weight loss surgery cost?

The cost of after weight loss surgery varies depending on the areas you’d like to address and the extent of the procedure. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss your options, including financing if needed, to help make your treatment more manageable.

Some insurance plans may cover part of after weight loss surgery if it’s deemed medically necessary, such as in cases where excess skin causes rashes or infections. Our team at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center can help you understand your coverage and guide you through the insurance process if applicable.

After weight loss surgery can target areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, chest, and back to remove excess skin and refine your contours. Dr. Lyle work with you to create a personalized plan based on your unique needs and goals.

It’s best to wait until you’ve maintained a stable weight for several months, typically around 6 – 12 months after your weight loss is complete. This helps ensure the best and longest-lasting results from your surgery.

Real Reviews from Real Patients

I am a 2 time cancer survivor and Dr. LYLE has been my cancer surgeon since I was 29. I got cancer at 29 then again at 43 and I am 49 now. He stopped doing breast reconstruction after I got my second cancer and he still came and did my reconstruction. He didn't have to but he did. He has been my surgeon for 20 years now. Stephanie at the office is great too.
