When Should You Receive a Post-Weight-Loss Body Contouring Assessment?

You should receive a post-weight-loss body contouring assessment when you have lost a significant amount of weight and have held this stable weight for at least six consecutive months. If you have undergone bariatric surgery, you must wait 12 to 18 months post-surgery to ensure that your weight and nutrition have completely plateaued. Additionally, if you used GLP-1 medications to lose weight, you must wait until your rapid weight loss slows down and your weight stabilizes.

Who is the Post-Weight-Loss Body Contouring Assessment for?

Before receiving a post-weight-loss body contouring assessment, you must be in relatively good health, cease nicotine use and all forms of smoking, have a proper nutritional balance, and feel emotionally ready by understanding the procedural and recovery process. A post-weight-loss contouring assessment is ideal if you have noticeable loose, sagging skin or stubborn fat pockets in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and breasts that impact comfort and overall appearance. This assessment will determine your candidacy for a post-weight-loss body contouring procedure, in which Johanna can recommend you to Dr. Elie Levine.
