Losing weight on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound® is a tremendous accomplishment—but many patients are surprised by the loose, hanging skin that can remain after significant weight loss.
As a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, I see this every day. While GLP-1 medications help patients lose weight, they cannot tighten excess skin. The only effective solution for significant skin laxity is surgical skin excision and body contouring.
Whether the excess skin is on the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, back, or lower body, I customize a treatment plan to restore smoother, firmer, and more natural body contours.
At New York Surgical Arts in Garden City, Long Island, I specialize in post-weight-loss body contouring procedures including tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift, lower body lift, and skin tightening techniques designed to help patients complete their transformation.
Weight loss is only part of the journey. Body contouring is often the final step to achieving the shape you've worked so hard for.
