Surgery After Massive Weight Loss
After massive weight loss, many women and men find themselves with excess skin that is unable to adjust well to the body’s new contours and hangs around the abdomen, neck, thighs, arms, legs, and buttocks. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Newman offers post massive weight loss plastic surgery to help Westchester, Long Island, and NYC patients get rid of this extra skin to renew their confidence and quality of life.
What is massive weight loss surgery?
As the results of massive weight loss are uniquely expressed across individuals, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to post-weight loss plastic surgery. It often involves a number of procedures to address the unique needs of each patient. These procedures often include:
- Arm lift (brachioplasty)
- Lower body lift
- Breast lift with or without breast implants
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Upper body lift
- Thigh lift
- Facelift
The procedures above remove and tighten sagging skin, sculpting the body into its best shape. The result is a more natural and youthful appearance.
I had surgery done previously by another doctor and I was unhappy with my results. Dr. N has done surgery on several of my friends and has done more of this than any of the other doctors I went to. In the end this was definitely the right choice.

What are the benefits of post-weight loss surgery?
- Removing loose or sagging skin
- Creating a more youthful body profile
- Improving self-esteem and emotional well-being
- Maximizing the gains from bariatric surgery
Am I a candidate for massive weight loss surgery?
Candidates for massive weight loss surgery are those who have sustained a weight loss plateau for at least 6 months. Waiting for a stable weight has a number of benefits, which include:
- Enabling patients to fully integrate a healthy lifestyle into their daily routine through exercise and diet.
- Allowing the skin to take its natural position following weight loss―in some, it may “snap back” quickly, whereas for others, it may take time.
- Ensuring that any improvements from the surgery will be based on the body’s best shape and will, therefore, last longer.

I had been researching Tummy tucks for many years and have been to may consults!! none of them felt right! I came across Dr N’s site and decided to go and have a talk with him…I have had 3 kids..im 28! i have had 2 smartlipo procedures for my stomach and flanks!! they convienced me that i didnt need a tummy tuck…that i only needed lipo!!! ( that’s because they were not board certified and didnt do tummy tucks) well i was not happy with the results because i still had a tummy and my belly button was crazy looking….so after speaking with Dr. N i knew i had to do my tummy tuck wit HIM.here i am 7 days later..I feel great! look great! my scar looks great….i am very happy!
