Post-Weight Loss Surgery in San Antonio

Losing weight is often a lengthy process with multiple steps. As you near the end of your weight-loss journey, you may be left with stubborn areas of fat or excess skin that have not responded to diet, exercise, and GLP-1 medications. If you are not completely satisfied with the final results you are seeing, plastic surgeon Dr. Koneru and his skilled team at Advanced Concepts in Plastic Surgery can help.

Post-weight loss surgery in San Antonio can help you fully reach results that you are truly proud of. Dr. Koneru will work with you to thoroughly understand your aesthetic and wellness goals, as well as your medical history, to create a body contouring treatment plan that is fully customized to your unique needs.

Benefits of Post-Weight Loss Surgery

Patients in San Antonio may notice many benefits to their daily lives from post-weight loss surgery. These procedures can remove stubborn and lingering fat from specific areas such as your arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, creating more defined body contours and a sculpted appearance. Surgery can also remove excess or sagging skin and reduce cellulite or wrinkles.

Along with increased self-confidence, post-weight loss body contouring can help reduce or even eliminate skin irritation, frequent chaffing, or skin infections. We are here to help you look and feel your best.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for body contouring procedures after weight loss include adults 18 and older in San Antonio who:

• Are at a stable weight
• Do not smoke or vape, or are willing to stop before the procedure
• Are in good overall health without conditions that may hinder healing
• Have specific goals and realistic expectations
• Are dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and fitness

These procedures will best serve patients who are at or near their goal weight, since they are not designed as weight loss treatments. They are a great option after using GLP-1 medications to lose weight. Additionally, patients who plan on becoming pregnant may want to hold off on post-weight loss surgery until they are finished having children.

Dr. Koneru will partner with you to determine if this type of surgery will be a good fit for your unique needs. The team at Advanced Concepts in Plastic Surgery is here to support you each step of the way.

Options for Surgery After Weight Loss

Dr. Koneru offers several surgeries for after weight loss that can be customized for every San Antonio patient. Available procedures include:

• Liposuction uses gentle suction to remove fat cells from specific regions of the body
• A belt lipectomy, which creates a more toned appearance along your belt line by removing sagging skin from your buttocks and lower abdominal area, while also lifting your thighs and adding fullness to your buttocks
• A tummy tuck removes excess skin that remains after weight loss or stubborn pockets of fat in the stomach region
• Fat transfer (grafting) helps you enjoy your ideal shape by moving excess fat cells from one region of your body to help create a fuller look in another area
• Mommy makeover combines procedures, such as a tummy tuck and breast lift, to help patients restore their bodies after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding

Our team at Advanced Concepts in Plastic Surgery will work with you to determine which procedure or combination of procedures will help you best achieve your aesthetic and wellness goals.
