What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring refers to a range of surgical procedures that remove stubborn fat, tighten loose skin, and improve body proportions after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Whether you’re looking to eliminate problem areas or achieve smoother, firmer contours, body contouring can help restore confidence and comfort in your own skin.

Common Body Contouring Options at OCRC:

  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection.
  • Liposuction: Targets and eliminates localized fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or flanks.
  • Thigh & Arm Lifts: Removes loose skin and reshapes limbs for a smoother, toned appearance.
  • Post-Weight Loss Surgery: Addresses excess skin following significant weight loss, often after bariatric surgery.

Skin Tightening Solutions

Loose or sagging skin can result from natural aging, pregnancy, or rapid weight changes. At OCRC, we combine surgical and minimally invasive techniques to help improve skin elasticity and support more youthful contours.

Benefits of Skin Tightening at OCRC:

  • Firmer, more youthful-looking skin
  • Enhanced body shape and proportion
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking results
  • Personalized treatment planning with a board-certified plastic surgeon

Scar Placement and Aesthetic Considerations

Due to the extent of tissue removal, scars are an inevitable part of post-weight loss body contouring. When feasible, some incisions can be hidden in following areas:

  • Under the breasts or in natural folds
  • Along the bikini line
  • Inside the arms and thighs

While scars are permanent, they typically fade significantly over time, and most patients feel the tradeoff is well worth the improved contour and comfort.

Recovery Timeline and What to Expect

Recovery depends on the number and type of procedures performed. Dr. Jenq will guide you with a personalized post-op plan.

  • Surgery Duration: 3–6 hours (or staged over multiple sessions)
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia
  • Downtime: 2–4 weeks off work depending on procedure and type of work
  • Drains and Compression Garments: Used to reduce swelling and aid healing
  • Activity Restrictions: No heavy lifting or intense activity for 6 weeks
  • Final Results: Visible in 3–6 months, continue improving for up to 1 year

Are You a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for body contouring after weight loss if:

  • You have lost 50 lbs or more and maintained your weight for 6+ months
  • You are in good overall health and do not smoke
  • You have realistic expectations regarding scars and results
  • You experience excess, sagging skin that interferes with your lifestyle
  • Your skin has limited elasticity, and you understand that results may be influenced by skin quality

Frequently Asked Questions

Will insurance cover body contouring after weight loss?

Some procedures may be covered when deemed medically necessary (e.g., skin causing infections). Dr. Jenq’s office can assist with documentation and pre-authorization if applicable. Some additional ancillary procedures like liposuction, not covered by insurance and would be a self-pay.

Do I need to be at my goal weight?

Yes. Patients should be at a stable, healthy weight for 6+ months before surgery to minimize risk and optimize results.

Will there be loose skin again in the future?

If your weight remains stable, the results are long-lasting. However, further weight loss or pregnancy may result in new skin laxity.
