What Is a Weight Loss Makeover?

A Weight Loss Makeover is a customized set of body contouring surgeries designed for patients who have lost 50, 100, or even 150+ pounds. After significant weight loss—whether through gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or lifestyle changes—the skin often cannot shrink back, leaving sagging tissue that can hide your true results.

This makeover is similar to a Mommy Makeover but tailored for post–weight loss patients, often including:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Tightens loose skin and repairs stretched abdominal muscles.
Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation: Restores shape, volume, and position to breasts that have deflated or sagged after weight loss.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Removes excess skin on the upper arms for a toned, sculpted look.
Thigh Lift: Tightens loose skin and reshapes the thighs for smoother contours.
Liposuction: Refines and smooths areas of stubborn fat pockets.

You may be a good candidate if you:

Have lost significant weight through gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or diet and exercise

Are at or near your goal weight and have maintained a stable weight for at least 6–12 months

What to Expect with Dr. Mariam Awada

The Consultation

Your journey begins with a private consultation where Dr. Awada listens to your concerns, evaluates your skin and body, and develops a tailored surgical plan.

Preparing for Surgery

Patients may need medical clearance (especially after bariatric surgery) and should maintain stable weight for optimal results. Dr. Awada provides full pre-op instructions to ensure safety.

The Procedures

Your makeover may combine multiple surgeries in one session or be staged over time depending on your health and goals.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery varies depending on the number of procedures. Most patients need 2–4 weeks off work, with gradual return to normal activity. Compression garments, rest, and follow-up care are essential to healing.

Results & Scarring

Results are long-lasting and reveal your true post–weight loss figure. Scars are placed strategically and typically fade over time.

Risks & Considerations

As with any surgery, risks include anesthesia reactions, bleeding, infection, and delayed healing. Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery may require additional medical clearance. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Awada helps minimize these risks.

Cost of a Weight Loss Makeover in Detroit

Pricing depends on the number of procedures, surgical complexity, and your individual goals. During your consultation, Dr. Awada will provide a personalized quote.

At Michigan Cosmetic Surgery, we view this surgery as an investment in confidence and quality of life. We also offer financing options to make your transformation more accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions about Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss

How soon after GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy® or Ozempic®) can I have surgery?

Patients should be at or near their goal weight and stable for at least 6 -18 months before surgery. This ensures your results last and your body has fully adjusted to weight changes.

Will I need more than one surgery?

Sometimes. Depending on how much skin needs to be removed and which areas you’d like treated, your Weight Loss Makeover may be done in stages for safety and optimal results.

How much weight should I lose before surgery?

It’s best to be close to your target weight before undergoing body contouring surgery. Major weight fluctuations afterward can affect your results.

Will a Weight Loss Makeover remove stretch marks?

Yes—stretch marks that are located on the skin being removed (such as the lower abdomen or arms) can be eliminated during surgery. However, not all stretch marks can be addressed.

Can men get a Weight Loss Makeover?

Absolutely. Men who have undergone bariatric surgery or significant weight loss can benefit from procedures like chest contouring, tummy tuck, and body lifts to remove excess skin and restore masculine shape.

Is recovery harder after multiple procedures?

Recovery depends on how many surgeries are combined. Many patients prefer a single recovery period, while others choose to stage procedures for comfort and safety. Dr. Awada will help determine the best plan for you.

Will a Weight Loss Makeover help with rashes or skin irritation?

Yes. Removing excess skin often eliminates painful skin folds, chafing, and recurrent rashes, which improves both comfort and hygiene.
