East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery offers body contouring surgery for patients who have undergone massive weight loss in the New Jersey and New York areas. Losing weight is a laudable accomplishment. A slimmer waist can lead to a better long-term health outlook and a stronger sense of self-esteem, not to mention an improvement in body image perception.
However, losing a substantial amount of weight can leave uncomfortable reminders of the body you left behind: excess skin and tissue. Having lost much of its elasticity, excess skin can remain after a substantial weight loss. Because many of our patients express continued discomfort at the notion of exposing this skin, the weight loss journey can often feel incomplete without the addition of body contouring surgery.
