Univ of Pittsburgh Division of Plastic Surgery Plastic Surgery Center

You have lost the weight and have enjoyed shopping for new clothes but maybe you're still not comfortable with the way you look and feel. Because your skin has been stretched and cannot conform to your reduced body size, it may now hang loosely from your arms, abdomen, neck and other parts of your body making you feel uncomfortable or self-conscious, and dieting and exercising hasn't helped. There may be other reasons for you to consider body contouring or other plastic surgery: Perhaps your new active lifestyle requires more freedom of movement. Perhaps you want your clothes to fit better. Perhaps you just want to feel better. Those are all valid reasons to seek plastic surgery. If you've already had weight loss surgery, we understand that making a decision about additional surgery can be difficult. UPMC's Life After Weight Loss staff takes the time to listen to your concerns, and presents you with options to help meet your goals.
