Body Contouring after Weight Loss

Individuals who have experienced massive weight loss (100 pounds or more) are left with loose, excess skin and often are interested in body contouring. Body contouring can include one or multiple operations to correct loose and heavy skin folds left around the arms, thighs, breasts, buttocks, face and abdomen.

Surgeons at Southeastern Plastic Surgery have helped many individuals with body contouring following significant weight loss after bariatric surgery.

Excess skin and fat are removed. Surgery is performed in the hospital. Following surgery, can expect recovery time to last two to three weeks. Most people return to work after two weeks.

back to topSpider Vein Injections (Sclerotherapy)

Sclerotherapy is using a high concentration of saline solution to inject into the spider veins, causing them to collapse and subsequently disappear. This procedure takes approximately an hour. Afterwards you will have small bandages and will wear compression hose for 3 days. Side effects may include bruising, small areas of irritation at the injection sites, darkening or lightening of the skin where the veins were, and blushing (creation of new fine veins). Your veins may take 2-4 weeks to heal, and often times a second treatment is needed.
