Texas Plastic Surgeon Dr. Drew Sanderson Offers Unique Perspective on Results of Major Weight Loss with Body Contouring Surgery

Major weight loss--although life-altering, can affect a person negatively, if the patient is not prepared mentally for what their life, or their body will be like, says Flower Mound plastic surgeon Dr. Drew Sanderson.

Fortunately, body contouring procedures, such as those performed by Dr. Drew Sanderson of Flower Mound Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Spa, can help restore a natural appearance to a bariatric patients new body.

As an added benefit, research shows that body contouring may also help patients keep the weight off. According to a study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, patients who followed up weight loss surgery with at least one body contouring procedure gained back less weight over the course of seven years than individuals who did not.

Body contouring does not refer to a single procedure, but rather a range of surgeries that smooth, lift or tighten specifically targeted areas. Some of the most common body contouring procedures include arm lifts, tummy tucks and breast lifts. Liposuction can also be combined with these procedures as part of the body contouring process.

Surgery after massive weight loss may involve a broad variety of operations and even different body areas. To restore a natural appearing body contour, patients having undergone massive weight loss may need a breast lift, abdominoplasty, butt lift, arm lift or even a thigh lift, says Dr. Sanderson, who has extensive training and experience in cosmetic body surgery.

Given the comprehensive nature of bariatric surgery, patients who lose a significant amount of weight anywhere from 50 to 150 lbs. need to address several areas that have loose, stretched skin. Dr. Sanderson takes the time to thoroughly each patient during the pre-operative consultation and formulates a treatment plan tailored to their needs and goals.

While it would not be safe to have all of these at the same time and each patient may not even need all of them, it is not uncommon for this patient population to need at least one or two of these types of surgeries, he says.
