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.

Related Procedures for Body Contouring After Weight Loss

For patients seeking a complete transformation after significant weight loss, body contouring can be combined with several complementary procedures to achieve smooth, toned results. Common surgical options include:

  • Liposuction: Targets stubborn pockets of fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or chin, helping to sculpt the body and enhance overall contours.
  • Tummy Tuck: (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, creating a firmer, flatter midsection.
  • Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Smooths and tightens sagging skin along the upper arms for a more youthful silhouette.

These procedures can be tailored individually or combined for a personalized body contouring plan, helping patients achieve natural-looking results and renewed confidence.

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.
