Surgery After Massive Weight Loss in Chicago and Vernon Hills, IL

Treatment overview

Surgical Solutions for Body Sculpting and Rejuvenation

At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa, expert plastic surgeons provide advanced surgical body contouring procedures specifically designed for patients who have undergone massive weight loss.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

One of the most common concerns after rapid weight loss is excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles. The tummy tuck procedure removes that skin and tightens abdominal muscles to restore a flat, firm midsection. This surgery can also help reduce stretch marks and improve posture.

Body Lift and Lower Body Contouring

For significant sagging skin around the lower torso, hips, and buttocks, a body lift procedure can deliver dramatic improvements. It removes excess skin and sculpts a smoother, lifted silhouette. Often combined with liposuction to contour stubborn fat deposits, this procedure rejuvenates the mid and lower body in one transformative surgery.

Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)

Rapid weight loss frequently causes loose skin under the arms. An arm lift tightens and trims excess skin for a slimmer and more toned upper arm profile.

Thigh Lift

Sagging skin and fat deposits on the inner or outer thighs can be effectively treated with a thigh lift. This procedure removes skin excess and reshapes the legs, improving both function and appearance.

Breast Lift and Augmentation

Weight loss can diminish breast volume and lead to sagging. RL Center’s surgeons offer breast lift procedures to elevate and reshape the breasts as well as augmentation with implants or fat transfer to restore youthful fullness.

Facelift and Neck Lift

Massive weight loss may also cause loss of volume and skin laxity in the face and neck. Surgical face and neck lift can restore a more youthful contour, smoothing jowls, deep folds, and neck bands.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Sculpting and Filling

In addition to surgical options, RL Center provides cutting-edge non-surgical body contouring and facial volumizing treatments ideal for patients not ready for surgery or seeking complementary procedures.

CoolSculpting Elite™

CoolSculpting Elite is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment using controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. It is especially effective for refining areas such as the abdomen, thighs, love handles, arms, and submental neck (double chin). With no downtime, CoolSculpting helps sculpt and improve body contours after weight loss by permanently reducing localized fat.

EMSCULPT®

This advanced technology uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to simultaneously build muscle and reduce fat. EMSCULPT enhances muscle tone, particularly in the abdomen and buttocks, providing a more lifted and firm appearance without surgery.

Injectables for Facial Rejuvenation and Volume Restoration

Facial volume loss after massive weight loss can lead to a gaunt or hollowed appearance. RL Center offers FDA-approved dermal fillers and neurotoxins like Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify to restore youthful volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours naturally and effectively.

• Dermal Fillers replenish lost fat and collagen, plumping cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas.
• Botulinum Toxins relax muscles that cause wrinkles, improving expression lines and contributing to an overall rejuvenated look.
