Why Choose MPSG for Your Body Contouring
At My Plastic Surgery Group, our plastic surgeons specialize in post-weight-loss body contouring procedures tailored to each patient’s anatomy, goals, and transformation journey. Following significant weight loss, many patients experience excess skin and tissue that cannot be improved through diet and exercise alone despite maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
Our surgeons understand the physical and emotional challenges associated with excess skin following major weight loss. We focus on natural looking contour refinement, thoughtful surgical planning, and individualized care designed to help patients feel more comfortable, confident, and proportionate in their bodies.

Questions & Answers with Dr. Aker
Will liposuction tighten my saggy skin?
Standard liposuction does very little to tighten skin. Depending on your type of skin, it’s possible the skin will sag more once the underlying fat is removed.
Will my scars be disfiguring?
Most body contouring scars are lengthy, but many are concealed by clothing.
How do bariatric or weight loss patients differ as individuals?
They differ from each other in age, amount of locations of skin laxity, general health, and in differences related to gender.
Do men have plastic surgery following major weight loss too?
Yes, men are very pleased by the changes created through plastic surgery.
How dangerous is cosmetic surgery on a major weight loss patient?
For most patients that do not have significant medical problems, or smokers, it is considered to be very safe. Unless a hernia is repaired along with a tummy tuck surgery, all procedures are outside of the muscles and organs.
Why can’t a laser or something tighten my skin?
Newly developed lasers are able to induce minor skin tightening through the mechanism of heat effects on the tissue.
Can’t I do sit ups to tighten the saggy skin on my abdomen?
Exercise will not tighten the skin. Exercise burns fat and tones muscle.
How do I know if I have the right kind of skin for cosmetic surgery?
Our physicians will be happy to evaluate your skin. Almost all patients have skin that is acceptable for surgery. However , there are associated issues such as diabetes or smoking that seriously impair your ability to heal following surgery.
I feel overwhelmed with all of my saggy skin. Which area should I start with?
Our plastic surgeons will help you form a priority list if you haven’t already. The tummy and flank areas are popular starting points because tightening of this area often exerts tightening of adjacent areas such as the inner/outer thigh area.
I have especially saggy breasts, because of my major weight loss. Will my breast lift be similar to someone who hasn’t lost so much weight?
With dramatic weight loss your skin and deeper tissues change. There is less elasticity and the deep layer of skin called the dermis is thinner. As a result there is a greater degree of relaxation after surgery compared with someone who hasn’t lost as much weight.
