Surgery After Massive Weight Loss in Dallas, TX
Achieving significant weight loss is an incredible milestone, whether done through diet and exercise changes or by injections like Ozempic or Semaglutide. However, after shedding a large amount of weight, many individuals find themselves facing new challenges: excess skin, weakened muscle tone, and areas of stubborn fat that don’t respond to exercise. These concerns can prevent you from fully embracing the hard-earned results of your weight loss journey.

Dr. Bryan Armijo
Dr. Armijo prides himself in delivering outstanding surgical care with compassionate and individualized pre-operative consultations and post-operative follow-up.
Tummy Tuck
One of the most affected areas after massive weight loss is the abdomen. While losing weight improves overall health and mobility, it often leaves behind loose, stretched skin and weakened abdominal muscles that no amount of exercise or dieting can fully correct. This is where a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) becomes a transformative solution. By removing excess skin, tightening the abdominal muscles, and contouring the midsection, a tummy tuck helps patients achieve a firmer, flatter stomach that reflects their weight loss efforts.
Arm Lift
After massive weight loss, the skin on the upper arms often remains stretched and loose, leading to a “batwing” effect that can make people feel self-conscious. Even with dedicated exercise, skin elasticity doesn’t always recover. An arm lift (brachioplasty) is a transformative procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a firmer, more sculpted appearance.
Dr. Armijo uses advanced techniques to reshape and tighten the upper arms while minimizing visible scarring. His precise approach ensures natural-looking results, restoring definition so patients can confidently wear sleeveless clothing again and show off their slimmer, toned, attractive arms.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is a highly effective procedure for reshaping and tightening the thighs after massive weight loss. While losing weight significantly improves overall health, many individuals struggle with loose inner or outer thigh skin, which can cause discomfort, chafing, and insecurity. A thigh lift removes excess skin and fat, sculpting the thighs for a smoother, firmer, and more toned appearance.
Dr. Armijo tailors each thigh lift according to the unique concerns of each patient, whether it’s sagging skin on the inner thighs, stubborn fat deposits, or an overall lack of definition. Using advanced techniques to minimize scarring and enhance natural contours, Dr. Armijo helps patients regain the confidence to wear shorts, swimwear, and fitted clothing without worry.
Breast Lift | Breast Augmentation
A breast lift (mastopexy) and breast augmentation are transformative procedures that address different concerns but can also be combined for stunning results. After massive weight loss, many individuals experience sagging breasts, loss of breast volume, and stretched skin, which can dramatically affect their self-confidence and comfort. A breast lift focuses on reshaping and lifting the breasts, removing excess skin, and repositioning the nipples for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
For those who have also lost significant breast volume, breast augmentation can restore fullness and enhance shape using implants or fat transfer. When performed together, these procedures create a comprehensive rejuvenation, lifting and reshaping the breasts while restoring their natural contours and size.

Dr. Armijo specializes in personalized post-weight loss procedures designed to help individuals achieve balanced, natural-looking results. With his expertise, patients can enjoy a smoother, tighter physique that reflects their incredible transformation.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Surgery After Massive Weight Loss?
The ideal candidate for these procedures is someone who has maintained a stable weight for at least six months and is in good overall health. Having excess skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, or breasts is common after weight loss, and body contouring surgery can help restore tight, toned contours that exercise alone can’t achieve. It’s also important that candidates have realistic expectations, understanding that these surgeries are designed to enhance shape and comfort, but they don’t replace further weight loss.
