Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections have become a well-known option for individuals looking to lose weight. After reaching your goal weight, many individuals are left with unexpected side effects, including loose and sagging skin. At Shaddix Plastic Surgery, we understand that plastic surgery after weight loss is a step in helping you feel confident in the body you have worked hard to achieve.
The Impact of Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections have helped countless individuals reach their health goals more effectively. While your results can be dramatic, many patients are surprised to find that their skin does not always return to its original state after significant weight loss. Loose or sagging skin can affect the progress you have made, making plastic surgery a final step in achieving your desired appearance.
Why Consider Cosmetic Procedures After Dramatic Weight Loss
When the skin is stretched beyond its limit, it can lose the skin elasticity needed to bounce back, especially with age or long-term weight gain. While weight loss medications are ideal for reducing excess fat, they do not tighten the skin or address sagging. For many, cosmetic surgery performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon can help to remove excess skin and fat and reshape the body. Procedures like tummy tucks, thigh lift surgery, and body lifts are designed to contour the figure by tightening remaining skin, smoothing stretch marks, and sculpting areas that no longer respond to non-surgical treatments.
Surgery After Weight Loss
Dr. Shaddix offers a variety of body contouring procedures at Shaddix Plastic Surgery to help enhance your results.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is one of the most commonly requested procedures after weight loss. It removes excess abdominal skin and tightens separated abdominal muscles, restoring a smooth abdomen. This can improve posture and reduce skin irritation.
Body Lift Surgery
A body lift is ideal for patients who have experienced weight loss across multiple areas of the body. This comprehensive procedure targets the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and lower back to remove hanging skin and enhance overall shape. It is often recommended for those with widespread skin laxity following major weight loss.
Arm Lift
An arm lift addresses the loose, hanging skin that can develop on the upper arms. The procedure sculpts and contours the arms for a more toned appearance.
Thigh Lift Surgery
A thigh lift targets the inner or outer thighs, areas commonly affected by skin sagging that often occurs after significant weight loss. The procedure smooths and tightens the thighs, helping reduce chafing and improve mobility, especially during exercise or daily activities.
Breast Lift
A breast lift restores a more youthful breast shape by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue. For women who have experienced deflation or sagging due to weight loss, this breast surgery can rejuvenate your chest.
Facelift
Facial volume loss and sagging are also common after weight loss. A facelift addresses the lower face, jawline, and neck, reducing loose skin and enhancing definition. The result is a more refreshed and contoured appearance that aligns with your overall transformation.
Completing Your Weight Loss Transformation
Plastic surgery is often the final step in a life-changing journey. By removing excess skin left after weight loss, you can finally experience the full benefits of your healthier body.

Every procedure is personalized to your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. Dr. Shaddix will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after surgery, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
