After Weight Loss Treatments

Reaching a major weight loss goal can be life-changing. Whether you achieved this milestone through bariatric surgery, consistent lifestyle changes, or the help of GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide (Ozempic®/Wegovy®) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro®/Zepbound®), shedding extra pounds can improve your health and energy. But rapid or significant weight loss often creates new challenges: stretched skin that won’t bounce back, areas of the body that look deflated, or facial features that appear hollow and tired.

At Synergy Plastic Surgery, we help patients from Austin, Round Rock, and throughout Central Texas take the next step in their post-weight loss transformation. Our board-certified plastic surgeons and med spa specialists offer the full range of surgical lifts and nonsurgical options to smooth contours, enhance balance, and restore youthful definition.

Common Concerns After Weight Loss

Each person’s body responds differently to weight changes. Some of the most frequent post-weight-loss concerns include:

  • Sagging facial features or hollow cheeks and temples
  • Loose, overhanging skin on the abdomen, flanks, and waistline
  • Deflation of the breasts or chest after fat loss
  • “Bat wings” or drooping skin on the upper arms
  • Chafing or skin folds along the thighs and buttocks
  • Neck laxity or jowling that diet and exercise can’t correct

While these changes are common, many can be addressed with personalized treatment plans designed to restore comfort and confidence.

Surgical Solutions for Lasting Transformation

When the skin has been stretched beyond its ability to contract, surgery is often the most effective way to restore contour and comfort. Our body contouring specialists frequently combine procedures to deliver the most comprehensive and effective results.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Removes hanging upper-arm skin (“bat wings”) and enhances muscle contour for slimmer, more defined arms. Arm lift surgery typically requires an incision made along the inside of the upper arm between the shoulder and elbow for a scar that’s generally easy to conceal.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Elevates and reshapes sagging breasts, with the option to add implants or fat transfer to restore volume. A breast lift raises the nipples and breasts to a more youthful position and removes excess skin.

Facelift & Neck Lift

Restores youthful contours to the face and neck, correcting hollow cheeks, jowls, and loose neck skin. These procedures target the lower two-thirds of the face for a smooth transition from face to neck.

Liposuction

Targets small, stubborn fat deposits that may remain even after weight loss for smoother overall results. This procedure requires very small incisions to contour specific areas of the body.

Thigh & Buttock Lift

Eliminates redundant skin that causes rubbing, drooping, or discomfort in the lower body. This procedure can treat “Ozempic Butt” by improving the shape and contour of the buttocks. A thigh and buttock lift can also create a proportionate, toned result that improves how you look, feel, and move.

Mommy Makeover

Combines a custom blend of procedures in a single operation for rejuvenation across multiple body areas. Post-weight loss patients can design their mommy makeover to include body lift procedures, while also addressing other cosmetic concerns.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tightens loose skin and abdominal muscles for a smooth, firm midsection. We offer advanced techniques like the fleur-de-lis or extended tummy tuck for patients with more extensive laxity.

Nonsurgical Options for Subtle Enhancement

Not every patient requires surgery. For those with mild to moderate laxity, or for individuals who want to extend and maintain their surgical results, our med spa offers advanced skin rejuvenation treatments.

CoolSculpting® Elite

Freezes and eliminates resistant fat cells without surgery, helping fine-tune areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.

Dermal Fillers

Restores volume and contour to areas with sagging skin or hollowing, giving the face a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

HALO® Laser Skin Resurfacing

Offers deep and surface-level laser treatment to improve skin texture, reduce lines, and stimulate new collagen. It’s ideal for tightening mildly lax skin and improving the overall skin quality after weight changes.

Morpheus8 RF Microneedling

Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm lax skin, smooth texture, and remodel collagen. It can treat the face, jawline, arms, abdomen, and more.
