Understanding Post Bariatric Body Contouring Surgery
After significant weight loss through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, many patients develop excess, loose skin that doesn't retract naturally. Post bariatric body contouring is a comprehensive surgical approach that removes excess skin and reshapes the body contours to match your new, healthier weight.
Dr. Neel Gupta specialises in multiple body contouring procedures including lower body lifts, upper body lifts, arm lifts (brachioplasty), thigh lifts, and breast lifts after weight loss. Each treatment plan is customised based on the patient's unique needs and weight loss journey.

Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy)
Addresses loose skin around the abdomen, hips, back, and buttocks in a single procedure. This comprehensive surgery removes excess skin circumferentially around the lower torso and lifts the buttocks.
Upper Body Lift
Targets the chest, back, and arms. For men, this may include gynecomastia correction, while women often require breast lift or reduction along with upper body contouring.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Removes excess skin from the upper arms, creating more defined and proportionate arm contours. The incision is typically placed along the inner arm to minimise visible scarring.
Thigh Lift
Addresses loose skin on the inner and outer thighs. This procedure can dramatically improve the shape and proportion of the legs after massive weight loss.
Breast Lift After Weight Loss
Restores breast shape and position after significant volume loss. May be combined with breast augmentation to restore fullness.
