Contact UsWhat Is After Weight Loss Surgery?
Individuals who experience significant weight loss are usually ecstatic about overcoming a big roadblock and a lot of dedication. Unfortunately, while their new figure represents a proud accomplishment, sometimes they will face unforeseen frustrations. This is often due to the loose and wrinkly skin that remains on the body after significant weight loss. Loose skin can cause pain, self-consciousness, and the inability to wear certain clothes. Regardless of where the hanging skin resides, plastic surgery may be necessary to eliminate the issue. Dr. Algie LaBrasca performs after weight loss surgery in DuBois and Brookville, PA at LaBrasca Plastic Surgery. This can be a life-changing procedure and is also the last step for many in their weight loss journey. Contact one of our Pennsylvania offices today to learn more about after weight loss surgery.
How Is After Weight Loss Surgery Performed?
Plastic surgery to remove loose skin is generally considered an invasive treatment. It is performed using general anesthesia and can take anywhere from 3 – 7 hours, depending on the amount of loose skin and the combination of procedures performed. Liposuction is usually integrated during the procedure to remove pockets of fat, followed by the surgical removal of skin. Surgical skin removal does require longer incisions than most other cosmetic procedures so scarring will be associated with this treatment. However, Dr. LaBrasca uses the latest techniques and an artful eye to make the incisions as discreetly as possible. Dr. LaBrasca or a member of his team will give you specific scar care instructions for an effective outcome. For most patients, an overnight stay is necessary.

About UsAfter Weight Loss Surgery FAQs
Is after weight loss surgery only for skin removal?
No, after weight loss surgery can include more than just skin removal. While many procedures focus on eliminating excess skin, some patients also benefit from body contouring, muscle tightening, or fat transfer to enhance their overall shape. Dr. LaBrasca team customizes each procedure to align with your specific goals and needs.
What parts of the body are included in after weight loss surgery?
After weight loss surgery can address multiple areas where loose skin or tissue remains after significant weight loss. Common areas treated include:
- Abdomen and waist
- Arms and thighs
- Breasts and chest
- Buttocks and lower back
- Face and neck
Again, Dr. LaBrasca will work closely with you to tailor your surgical plan to target the areas that concern you most.
How soon can I get after weight loss surgery once I hit my goal weight?
Most patients need to maintain a stable weight for at least 12–18 months before undergoing surgery. This allows the skin to adjust as much as possible and ensures better long-term results. During your initial consultation, Dr. LaBrasca will evaluate your progress and help determine the right timing for your procedure.
