Body contouring after massive weight loss is a procedure designed to address changes that occur after significant weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery, lifestyle changes, or medication. Patients often face challenges such as excess skin, sagging, and loss of muscle tone, which can undermine hard-earned results in their weight loss process.
Dr. Antonio García Rodríguez performs a detailed multi-step evaluation during a first comprehensive consultation. In this process, evaluate your general health, body structure and aesthetic goals to develop a personalized plan that may include one or more procedures. The goal is to restore your natural shape, tighten your skin and improve body contours in a way that is technically advanced and medically sound, ensuring results that are in harmony with your natural anatomy.
Undergoing body contouring after massive weight loss offers a wide range of benefits that go beyond mere aesthetics:
- Comprehensive rejuvenation: Address multiple areas with excess skin and poor contours in a single integrated treatment, reducing the need for multiple surgeries and optimizing recovery.
- Improved silhouette and proportion: Recover a toned and balanced figure with better muscle definition and refined curves, allowing you to feel confident in your body.
- LONG-LASTING, NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS: The use of advanced techniques ensures that the results are subtle yet sustainable, with an emphasis on refinement over drastic and temporary changes.
- Personalized treatment plans: Each procedure is adapted through an in-depth evaluation of your anatomy and objectives, ensuring that your treatment is safe, effective and aligned with your vision of a transformed body.
Accelerated recovery: Combining procedures in a coordinated session under the care of an expert minimizes overall downtime, supported by a dedicated post-operative care program that includes specialized therapies and ongoing follow-up.
Dr. Garcia ensures that each candidate is carefully evaluated and informed about realistic results and the steps necessary to achieve a harmonious transformation. A successful transformation through body contouring after massive weight loss begins with proper patient selection. You might be an ideal candidate if:
- You've achieved significant weight loss through surgery or lifestyle changes, but now you're faced with problems such as saggy and saggy skin or disproportionate body contours.
- You have a stable weight and are in good general health, as determined by a thorough medical evaluation.
- You understand that the goal is not to completely alter your natural appearance, but to refine and enhance it in a balanced way.
- You are committed to a structured recovery process and are willing to follow personalized pre-operative and post-operative instructions.
- You value long-term sustainable improvements over quick solutions and you want a transformation that increases both physical appearance and self-confidence.
What Procedures Does Body Contouring Involve?
After massive weight loss, either through a lifestyle change or bariatric surgery, the body is often left with skin redundancy, loss of volume and asymmetric contours that cannot be treated with a single procedure. Body contouring is a surgical strategy, not a one-time operation. Dr. Garcia develops each plan based on your specific anatomy, goals, and healing ability.
Here are the most common procedures performed as part of body contouring after weight loss:

Liposuction with VASER® and BodyTite™
Dr. Garcia uses advanced technologies such as VASER® Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction and BodyTite™ Radiofrequency Skin Lift to combat persistent fat and, at the same time, preserve tissue integrity. These methods not only eliminate refined fat, but they also stimulate skin retraction, which is especially important in patients with mild to moderate laxity.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
This fundamental procedure removes excess skin in the lower abdomen and tightens it weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis of the rectum). The result is a smoother, more stable trunk and a flatter abdominal contour, which is often combined with liposuction to improve definition.
Circumferential Abdominoplasty (lower body stretching)
Also known as lipectomy with belt, this 360° procedure treats sagging skin not only in the front, but also around the flanks, lower back and buttocks. In addition to improving abdominal tone, lifts and reshapes the buttocks and side thighs, making it especially beneficial for patients after massive weight loss.
Upper body stretch and brachioplasty (arm lift)
Loose, draped skin around the arms, upper back and bra line can make patients feel that their transformation is incomplete. These procedures focus on restoring the proportion of the upper torso by removing excess tissue and reshaping the contours of the arms and upper body. The incisions are strategically placed to allow discreet healing.
