Body Contouring The Woodlands | Body Contouring in Spring & Conroe TX

Are you considering body contouring after weight loss?

If you have achieved a dramatic weight loss, either through weight loss surgery or diet and exercise, you may have been left with excess skin and lingering fatty tissue. After losing a large amount of weight, skin often is unable to shrink back to firmly cover the body’s new contours. For some, the excess skin is strictly an aesthetic concern, but for others it can cause physical discomfort, chronic health issues and even restricted mobility.

Double board-certified plastic surgeon in The Woodlands Dr. Sugene Kim performs post-weight loss body contouring surgery to help people from Houston, Conroe, and Spring, TX, and beyond reduce much of the excess skin and fat to improve their appearance and overall quality of life.

Why choose Dr. Kim for body contouring after weight loss?

You can be confident that your contouring procedure will be performed with meticulous care and attention to detail, so your results bring you greater joy and confidence in all the years ahead.

How is body contouring performed?

Because every individual’s concerns are different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach for body contouring after weight loss. Some of the most common procedures Dr. Kim uses to help men and women achieve a more streamlined figure after losing weight include:

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, to create a fitter, more toned midsection
A body lift to create a tighter lower body and midsection
A breast lift, or mastopexy, to reposition and reshape sagging breasts
Breast reduction to create lighter breasts and increase physical and emotional comfort
Breast augmentation with implants to restore lost breast volume
Liposuction to reduce fat deposits in problem spots
An arm lift to reduce sagging arm skin and create a more toned upper body
A thigh lift to resolve chafing in the inner thighs and create a slimmer, more streamlined lower body
A facelift to tighten sagging jowls and create a more youthful lower face and neck
Male breast reduction to treat gynecomastia and sculpt the male chest into a more masculine shape

During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Kim can assess your needs and make recommendations for the most suitable procedures for you. She will also explain the kinds of results you can expect along with answering questions about scarring, recovery, and aftercare.

While some people may benefit from multiple procedures combined into a single surgery, others may prefer a staged approach to their post-weight loss needs. Dr. Kim and her staff will work with you to determine the best schedule for your surgeries and how you can maintain your results with a healthy lifestyle.
