What Is After Weight Loss Surgery?
Individuals who experience substantial weight loss often feel a profound sense of achievement, having lifted a considerable burden from their lives. However, this sense of triumph is frequently met with new frustrations, most notably the issue of excess skin. This is a common outcome of major weight loss where the skin is unable to retract to fit the body's new, reduced size so it hangs loosely. This can occur anywhere on the body, necessitating skin removal surgery to address the problem. Dr. Nicholas K. Howland, a board-certified plastic surgeon, provides surgical solutions for individuals in Draper, UT looking to remove excess skin following significant weight loss. Schedule a consultation at Howland Plastic Surgery to explore how this operation can assist you in achieving your personal health and wellness goals.
How Is After Weight Loss Surgery Performed?
Plastic surgery to remove loose skin is almost always considered an invasive treatment. It is performed using general anesthesia and takes about 3 – 7 hours, depending upon the number of procedures being performed. These surgeries all involve making incisions to remove excess skin and fat with the incision patterns and lengths tailored to the quantity of skin and fat to be eliminated and their locations on the body. Dr. Howland strategically places these incisions to ensure they are as discreet as possible, allowing for most scars to be hidden under clothing. Various procedures target different areas: a lower body lift improves the appearance of the abdomen, buttocks, groin, and outer thighs; a breast lift is aimed at uplifting sagging breasts; an arm lift removes loose skin from the upper arms; and a thigh lift targets the inner, outer, and mid-thigh areas to remove excess skin.

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
