Plastic Surgery After GLP-1 Weight Loss in Washington, D.C.

A lower body lift, also called a belt lipectomy or a circumferential body lift, can address loose tissue extending around the abdomen, waist, lower back, and outer hips. A fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty may help when significant laxity affects the abdomen both vertically and horizontally.

An extended tummy tuck reaches beyond the abdomen to improve the flanks, while a mini tummy tuck focuses on more limited concerns below the belly button. A panniculectomy removes an overhanging apron of skin and tissue. Liposuction may accompany these procedures when localized fat remains, but it does not remove significant loose skin.

Weight loss can leave the breasts lower, flatter, or out of proportion with your new frame. A breast lift removes excess skin and reshapes the remaining tissue to elevate the breasts.

A breast augmentation can restore volume when appropriate. Patients who already have implants may benefit from an implant exchange as part of their treatment plan. Other options include breast reduction when excess breast tissue causes physical or aesthetic concerns and fat grafting to the breasts when suitable donor fat is available.

A brachioplasty or mini arm lift can address upper-arm laxity. A mini arm lift may suit more limited loose skin near the underarm, while a full brachioplasty can treat tissue extending farther along the upper arm.

A medial thigh lift can improve loose skin along the upper inner thighs. A vertical thigh lift may address laxity extending farther down the inner leg. Liposuction may refine localized fat and improve the transition between treated areas when your skin quality makes it appropriate.

Rapid or significant weight loss can reduce facial volume and make loose skin more noticeable. A facelift can reposition sagging tissues along the cheeks, lower face, and jawline, while a neck lift can improve loose neck skin and visible banding.

Blepharoplasty can address excess eyelid skin or puffiness, and a brow lift can elevate a lowered brow. Fat grafting to the face may restore volume in selected areas and complement facial lifting procedures.

An upper body lift may combine treatment of the arms, breasts, upper back, and bra line to improve the upper torso as a whole. A back lift or bra line lift can remove folds of loose tissue across the upper or middle back.

A buttock lift can elevate and reshape tissues that have descended after weight loss. Buttock fat grafting may restore volume when appropriate and when you have enough suitable donor fat. Your surgeon may recommend combining related procedures or separating them into stages to support a safe, manageable recovery.
