⚖️ You’ve reached your goal weight. Now what?
After significant weight loss, it’s common to notice loose skin or areas of stubborn fat that weren’t as apparent before. But when it comes to body contouring, Dr. Kelling explains why timing matters.
Ideally, patients should be as close to their goal weight as possible and maintain that weight for about six months before considering surgery.
From there, the right approach depends on what your body actually needs. Liposuction may address stubborn fat when skin elasticity is good, while loose or excess skin may require a tummy tuck, 360 tummy tuck or lower body lift.
Losing the weight is the hard work. The next step is understanding which options, if any, make sense for your body.
