About Body Contouring After Weight Loss Surgery

We know firsthand that if you’ve experienced major weight loss resulting in loose and sagging skin, body contouring or body sculpting surgery can be the next rewarding phase in your challenge to have a healthier, more proportioned body. The reason we know this is that we’ve been performing and perfecting body sculpting surgical techniques on major weight loss patients in Indianapolis and Carmel successfully for nearly 20 years. Dr. Aker is passionate about the results they’ve achieved with major weight loss patients and look forward to accompanying you on the next phase of your journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard liposuction does very little to tighten skin. Depending on your type of skin, it’s possible the skin will sag more once the underlying fat is removed.

Our plastic surgeons will help you form a priority list if you haven’t already. The tummy and flank areas are popular starting points because tightening of this area often exerts tightening of adjacent areas such as the inner/outer thigh area.
