A Personal Passion in Practice

Body contouring after significant weight loss is one of Dr. Guy Cappuccino’s favorite areas of practice. Patients who have lost 50 pounds or more often face a frustrating reality: while the weight is gone, they are left with loose, excess skin that obscures their results and affects their confidence. Dr. Cappuccino helps these patients “cross the finish line” of their transformation, refining and reshaping the body to match the effort and determination they’ve already shown.

Why Body Contouring Matters

After weight loss, the body’s skin and tissue often can’t conform to the new contours. This results in sagging or deflated-looking areas that do not reflect the patient’s hard-earned changes. Body contouring procedures remove excess skin, reduce localized fat, and restore proportion, allowing patients to finally see the results they’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Areas Commonly Treated

Massive weight loss can affect many regions of the body, including:

  • Face and neck
  • Upper arms
  • Chest and breasts
  • Back
  • Abdomen
  • Thighs

Corrective procedures may include facelifts, neck lifts, arm lifts, breast lifts, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), thigh lifts, liposuction, and fat grafting.

Tailored Surgical Planning

Every patient’s needs and goals are different. Dr. Cappuccino works closely with each individual to prioritize the areas of greatest concern and create a personalized surgical plan. Often, multiple areas can be addressed in a single procedure. In more complex cases, surgeries are staged over time to allow for optimal recovery and results.

Life-Changing Results

Body contouring goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about restoring confidence and comfort. Many patients describe emotional milestones like wearing snug jeans for the first time, feeling good in a swimsuit, or recognizing themselves in the mirror. These transformations are deeply meaningful for Dr. Cappuccino and form some of the most rewarding experiences of his career.

Cosmetic vs. Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic surgery includes both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures:

  • Cosmetic surgery: Focuses on improving appearance and self-esteem by reshaping normal body structures. It is typically not covered by insurance, as it is considered elective.
  • Reconstructive surgery: Addresses abnormal structures caused by congenital defects, trauma, disease, or other medical issues. It is generally performed to restore function or achieve a more typical appearance and is often covered by insurance.


Some procedures fall into a gray area, depending on the individual case. For example, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is usually cosmetic but may be covered if drooping skin impairs vision.
