Post weight loss surgery, also known as post-bariatric body contouring or skin removal after weight loss, is a collection of procedures designed for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with excess skin.
When the body loses a large amount of weight, the skin may not fully retract to match the new body shape. This can result in loose or hanging skin around the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, buttocks, and other areas.
Many patients throughout South Jersey and the greater New Jersey area consult with Dr. Fred during their final stage of contour refinement during their weight loss journey. Consultation often focuses on procedures that can help with:
Post weight loss body contouring results. Individual results may vary.
Dr. Fred’s body contouring after weight loss often involves a combination of procedures to address multiple areas affected by significant weight reduction.
Every patient is different, and some individuals may benefit from a staged approach rather than completing all procedures at once.
The abdomen is one of the most common areas where patients experience excess skin after weight loss. A tummy tuck removes loose abdominal skin and may tighten weakened abdominal muscles to create a smoother, firmer midsection.
Dr. Fred may recommend different tummy tuck approaches depending on the amount and location of excess skin, including:
An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, removes loose skin and reshapes the upper arm contour after significant weight loss. Patients often seek arm lift surgery when they experience:
The inner and outer thighs can be challenging areas after weight loss. Dr. Fred’s thigh lift removes excess skin and improves thigh contour while addressing concerns such as:
Post weight loss skin removal surgery results. Individual results may vary.
Weight loss frequently affects breast volume and shape. It is not unusual for some patients to experience deflation, sagging, or changes in breast proportion after reaching their goal weight. Breast surgery after weight loss can include:
A breast lift reshapes and elevates sagging breast tissue to restore a more youthful position.
Some patients continue to have excess breast tissue after weight loss and may benefit from reduction surgery to improve comfort and proportion.
For patients who have lost breast volume, augmentation may restore fullness and improve balance.
Surgical body contouring addresses excess skin and tissue, but some patients benefit from additional treatments to improve skin quality, texture, and overall rejuvenation.
Even after successful weight loss, cellulite may remain due to the structure of the skin and underlying tissue. Avéli is a minimally invasive cellulite treatment designed to target the fibrous bands responsible for cellulite dimpling, helping create smoother-looking skin.
Non-surgical options such as Morpheus8 skin tightening treatments may help patients with mild to moderate laxity who want additional refinement.
Weight changes can also affect intimate wellness and tissue quality. Dr. Fred offers feminine rejuvenation options that may help restore comfort, confidence, and function. Treatment options may include surgical and non-surgical approaches depending on each patient’s goals.

Recovery depends on the procedures performed and whether multiple areas are treated. Dr. Fred provides detailed recovery instructions to help support safe healing and optimal results.
Most patients can expect:
Post weight loss surgery results are designed to create a smoother, more proportionate body contour. Patients often notice:
Maintaining a stable weight after surgery is important. Weight loss after tummy tuck or other contouring procedures can affect your final appearance, so patients should continue healthy lifestyle habits to protect their results.
The ideal candidate for plastic surgery after weight loss in New Jersey is someone who:
Post weight loss plastic surgery requires careful planning because the skin and soft tissues change significantly after major weight reduction. Risks may include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, fluid accumulation, scarring, and asymmetry.
Successful results depend on understanding how weight loss affects skin elasticity, tissue quality, and body proportions. Dr. Fred Coville’s extensive experience with body contouring allows him to evaluate these changes and create a customized surgical plan designed around your anatomy and goals.
Most patients should reach a stable weight before undergoing post weight loss surgery. This allows Dr. Fred to create a treatment plan based on your long-term body shape and helps protect your results.
Insurance coverage varies depending on your provider, medical history, and whether excess skin causes functional concerns. Some procedures may qualify for coverage in certain situations, while others are considered cosmetic. Our team can help you understand your options.
Some patients may safely combine procedures, while others may benefit from staged surgeries. During your consultation, Dr. Fred will recommend an approach based on your health, goals, and the amount of correction needed.
