Achieving significant weight loss through bariatric surgery or medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro is a life-changing accomplishment. But loose, excess skin can hide the shape you worked so hard to reveal. At Peninsula Plastic Surgery in Torrance, body contouring after major weight loss is one of our core specialties. Led by Ronald F. Rosso, MD, our team helps patients across the South Bay complete their transformation with personalized surgical plans , from body lifts and thigh lifts to full post-weight loss reconstruction. We'll work with your insurance to maximize coverage so you can focus on results, not paperwork.
Achieving significant weight loss with medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, or other GLP-1s is a monumental achievement. However, rapid weight reduction can often result in excess, loose skin on the face and body. This can sometimes diminish the excitement of your transformation.
At Peninsula Plastic Surgery, we specialize in helping patients like you complete their journey by addressing these specific concerns, revealing the confident, contoured body you've worked so hard for.
Address "Ozempic face" with targeted procedures to restore volume and firmness, including facelifts and liposuction.
Remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tightening underlying muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection.
Reshape the underside of the upper arm, from the armpit to the elbow, removing excess skin and fat.
Loose skin on the inner or outer thighs can make walking uncomfortable, limit clothing options, and obscure the leg definition you've earned. A Torrance thigh lift , also called a thighplasty , removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to create smoother, more proportionate contours from hip to knee.
Dr. Rosso customizes every thigh lift to the patient's skin laxity pattern and goals. For some patients, a medial (inner) thigh lift is sufficient; for others, a lateral thigh lift is needed to address the outer thigh.
A surgical procedure to remove loose, sagging skin and excess tissue from the buttocks, creating a firmer, more lifted, and aesthetically pleasing contour.
Address "Ozempic breasts" by lifting and reshaping sagging breasts to a more youthful, perkier position.
If your weight loss journey began with gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or another bariatric procedure, you have a distinct set of surgical needs. Torrance post-bariatric plastic surgery requires careful planning around nutritional status, scar placement from prior surgeries, and skin quality that may differ from GLP-1 weight loss patients.
Dr. Rosso has extensive experience in post-bariatric body contouring and understands the nuances that set these cases apart. We coordinate with your bariatric team when needed and time your procedures around weight stability so your results last.
We want to inform the public that the majority of health insurance plans, both PPO and HMO, will cover at least two skin removal procedures after massive weight loss from bariatric surgery or GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro.
Our team can help you navigate the process of insurance pre-authorization.
