Reveal the results of your hard work with post-weight loss body contouring by Ginger Slack, MD. Known for her tasteful, natural, and sophisticated approach, Dr. Slack offers customized procedures that refine your silhouette and restore confidence, helping you feel whole, complete, and fully at home in your transformed body.
Refine your silhouette after weight loss
After dramatic weight loss, whether through surgery, medication, or lifestyle changes, you’ve accomplished something incredible. But the loose, sagging skin left behind can make it hard to fully appreciate your results. You may feel like your body doesn’t reflect the effort you’ve put in, and that can take a toll on your confidence and quality of life. In some cases, the excess skin can even cause hygiene issues, rashes, or limit your mobility, affecting your ability to move freely, dress comfortably, and feel at ease in your body.
Post-weight loss body contouring is a personalized surgical approach to remove excess skin and reshape your body after dramatic weight loss. These procedures help you refine contours, eliminate skin folds, and restore proportion to the arms, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and more. At Ginger Slack, MD, your procedure is thoughtfully tailored to your body and your goals, whether you’re seeking a breast lift, tummy tuck, arm or thigh contouring, or a full upper body lift. This is your chance to restore your natural beauty.

- Improve body proportions and contour definition
- Reduce irritation, chafing, and hygiene issues from skin folds

What are the types of surgeries included in post-weight loss body contouring?
Breast lifts & Breast augmentations
A breast lift (mastopexy) restores a youthful, lifted appearance to breasts that have lost volume and firmness after weight loss. Dr. Slack removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue, and repositions the nipples for a more elevated and natural-looking contour. In some cases, a breast augmentation using an implant may also be needed for added volume or symmetry. The result is a tasteful and refined enhancement that restores feminine curves and helps you feel confident in your body again.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, tightens and reshapes the midsection by removing excess skin and fat and repairing separated abdominal muscles. For patients with skin redundancy, extended techniques like a belt lipectomy or fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty may be used to address laxity around the waist, hips, and vertical midline. Dr. Slack customizes your procedure to reveal the flat, smooth abdominal contour you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
Brachioplasty
Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, eliminates loose, hanging skin from the upper arms, a common issue after major weight loss. Through carefully placed incisions, Dr. Slack removes excess skin and fat, creating a slimmer, firmer arm contour. The result is a more toned and proportionate look that allows you to wear sleeveless clothing with confidence.
Upper body lift
An upper body lift targets redundant skin and soft tissue along the chest wall, back, and underarms. This procedure is often combined with a brachioplasty or breast lift to create seamless transitions and restore proportion across the upper torso. By smoothing bulges and folds, Dr. Slack helps you achieve a sculpted, elegant result that complements your contours.
Medial thigh lift
A medial thigh lift reshapes the inner thighs by removing sagging skin and excess fat that can remain even after significant weight loss.
Through precise incisions, Dr. Slack tightens the skin and contours the thighs, resulting in smoother, firmer legs that no longer rub or cause discomfort. The procedure helps you feel confident in shorts, dresses, and swimwear.
