Body Contouring The Woodlands | Body Contouring in Spring & Conroe TX

Are you considering body contouring after weight loss?

If you have achieved a dramatic weight loss, either through weight loss surgery or diet and exercise, you may have been left with excess skin and lingering fatty tissue. After losing a large amount of weight, skin often is unable to shrink back to firmly cover the body’s new contours. For some, the excess skin is strictly an aesthetic concern, but for others it can cause physical discomfort, chronic health issues and even restricted mobility.

Double board-certified plastic surgeon in The Woodlands Dr. Sugene Kim performs post-weight loss body contouring surgery in The Woodlands, Conroe, and Spring, TX, to reduce much of the excess skin and fat to improve their appearance and overall quality of life.
