It might have taken you many months or even several years, but you've finally lost those extra pounds and reached a healthy weight. What a wonderful accomplishment! You should be feeling fantastic, but there may be something standing in your way. After significant weight loss, people often find themselves with a lot of sagging skin and small pockets of fat. To achieve the slim, trim body you've worked so hard for, you might need to allow your plastic surgeon to take the wheel.

Your surgeon will have several procedures in their repertoire to help refine your weight loss re-sults.

• Liposuction can fine-tune the results of larger-scale weight loss. It's not designed to help you lose weight, so it's great that you've done your part by having your body burn the excess fat. With liposuction, Indiana patients can get rid of a double chin, upper arms, love handles, a tummy bulge, and other areas of remaining fat.
• Tummy tucks can put the finishing touches on your abdomen by removing stretched and sagging skin. Abdominal muscles can also be tightened.
• Breast enhancement is popular with Indiana patients who want to im-prove breast appearance after weight loss. For example, a breast lift removes excess skin and reposi-tions breasts and nipples to a more youthful and perky position after they have been enlarged or mis-shapen by extreme weight gain.
