Loose skin after GLP-1 weight loss

Losing a lot of weight quickly leaves skin that cannot shrink back. Surgery can remove it, but timing matters more than most people expect.

Wait for a stable weight

We ask for six months at a steady weight before body contouring. Skin removed while weight is still falling loosens again, and healing is slower when nutrition is low.

Which procedure comes first

Most patients start with the area that bothers them most, usually the abdomen. Arms, thighs and breasts follow in later stages, three to six months apart.

What it costs

Staged contouring usually takes two to three operations over 12 to 18 months. Your consultation ends with one written, itemized plan for every stage.
