Plastic Surgery after Weight Loss in San Antonio – Dr. Constance Barone
Total body contouring for Austin and San Antonio-area patients can be attained with Dr. Constance Barone. Plastic surgery after weight loss at our state-of-the-art San Antonio facility is designed to address loose skin and folds often left over from the massive amounts of weight lost after bariatric surgery or extreme dieting.
Plastic Surgery after Weight Loss
The advent of bariatric surgery and extreme diet and exercise programs to address morbid obesity has led many people to lead healthier lives with slimmer bodies. However, once the desired amount of weight has been lost, loose, drooping skin often remains in many areas of the body. This can lead to problems such as lack of self-confidence, limited clothing choices, skin infections, and even depression. Plastic surgery after weight loss, available from our San Antonio physician, is a way to eliminate excess, overhanging skin and recontour the body, giving you a tight, fit-looking physique from top to bottom. Through a combination of procedures, Dr. Constance Barone can help you complete your total body transformation to achieve the look of your dreams.

Body Contouring Procedure
Body contouring after weight loss typically involves a number of procedures to address a variety of areas. At your initial consultation with Dr. Constance Barone, you will be asked to provide a detailed medical history. You and Dr. Barone will also discuss your aesthetic goals openly and honestly, and the risks and benefits of all procedures that you are considering will be explained in detail. Dr. Barone will be very frank in describing all aspects of the procedures, from pre-operative preparation to post-operative recovery.
Since plastic surgery after weight loss will generally involve multiple procedures, patients should expect a multi-stage process that will take place over a period of months, depending on the types of procedures that are chosen and the extent of those procedures. The initial consultation is one of the most important steps in the surgical process. It is important for patients to have realistic expectations for results, and to convey their aesthetic goals, in detail, to Dr. Barone. Then, you will both decide what surgical options would be best to meet those goals.
Body Contouring Options
Virtually any plastic surgery option may be used in body contouring after weight loss procedures. Here are just a few of the most common, and feel free to browse through the rest of our website for other options that may suit your expectations.
Liposuction
One of the most popular cosmetic procedures for removing fat, liposuction can be performed on virtually any area of the body to eliminate fat pockets and provide a more contoured appearance. It is an ideal option for weight-loss patients who want to get rid of smaller areas of loose skin for which surgical "lifting" may not be necessary.
Abdominoplasty
An abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck," works to correct loose, overhanging skin on one of the most visible body areas: the midsection. A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin while tightening the abdominal muscles and making the stomach area appear taut and fit.
Upper Arm Lift
An upper arm lift, medically referred to as a brachioplasty, is a body contouring procedure that eliminates loose skin and fat in the upper arm. In an area prone to excess, drooping skin, a brachioplasty will tighten the area and make the arms look and feel toned and smooth.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift (thighplasty) can help patients attain firm, taut upper legs. Thigh lift can address a number of areas along the thighs, including the inner, upper, and lower portions. Dr. Barone will remove excess skin and fat, and then tighten the remaining skin to achieve a re-contoured, fit appearance.
Buttock Lift
Patients can enhance the shape of the posterior and achieve a more proportionate body contour with a buttock lift. Sagging skin and fat will be removed and the buttocks tightened and reshaped with this effective procedure. Buttock lift can be significantly effective when combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as thighplasty and abdominoplasty, for an athletic-looking lower body.
Breast Reduction
Massive weight loss can often lead to breasts being too large for your slimmer body, causing pain, discomfort, and embarrassment. A breast reduction, from our body contouring surgeon serving the Austin and San Antonio area, is designed to take away excess fat and skin from the breasts and make them more proportionate to your new body frame. The procedure can also be performed on men who have undergone significant weight loss.
Breast Augmentation
With breast augmentation, women taking the next step in completely reinvigorating their bodies after major weight loss can add volume and contour to the bustline for a more youthful, sensual appearance. Transumbilical breast augmentation (tuba) and more traditional breast enlargement techniques are areas of special focus for Dr. Constance Barone, and she is known around the world for her successful breast surgery experience.
Body Implants
Body implants can add contour, definition, and muscular shape to a variety of areas. Options such as chin and cheek implants can enhance the look of the entire face and bring balance to facial features; buttock implants work to augment the lower body by making the rear end look taut and firm; and breast implants can provide a fuller, more sensual appearance to the bustline.
Body Contouring Recovery
Since every plastic surgery after weight loss program is custom-tailored to each patient, recovery will depend on the procedures that are performed and the extent of those procedures. Patients who choose to combine upper and lower body contouring can expect an extended recovery time, possibly up to two months. More invasive procedures will leave visible scars; however, Dr. Barone will work to make any residual scarring as minimal as possible and easy to hide under clothing. Plus, most scars will fade over time.
