Post Bariatric Reconstruction

Body Contouring After Major Weight Loss

Major weight loss is a big win. It improves health, mobility, and confidence. Then many patients face a new problem, excess skin that does not tighten. Skin can hang, fold, rub, and pull. It can make clothing fit poorly. It can also hide the results you worked hard to achieve.

Post bariatric reconstruction, also called post weight loss body contouring, removes excess skin and reshapes areas that commonly sag after significant weight loss. The goal is simple. Improve comfort. Improve contour. Reduce skin related irritation. Help your body match your new weight.

At DeRosa Plastic Surgery in West Bloomfield, we build a staged plan that matches your body, your goals, and your recovery capacity. We serve Metro Detroit, and many patients come from nearby communities within about five miles, including Orchard Lake, Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake, and Bloomfield Township.

What is post bariatric reconstruction?

Post bariatric reconstruction is a set of body contouring procedures for people who have lost a significant amount of weight through bariatric surgery, medications, or lifestyle changes. After major weight loss, the skin and supporting tissues may not shrink back. That can leave loose skin and stubborn fullness around the arms, breasts, abdomen, waist, back, buttocks, and thighs.

Body contouring after weight loss focuses on removing excess skin, tightening and reshaping tissues, and improving body proportion. Many patients also report practical benefits like less rubbing, fewer skin fold rashes, easier movement, and better clothing fit.

Common areas addressed after major weight loss

Every patient has a different priority list. Most people start with the areas that impact daily comfort and clothing fit. These are common areas we evaluate during planning.

Upper body

Arms: loose upper arm skin.
Breasts: sagging and volume loss.
Back: rolls and loose skin under bra lines.
Neck and jawline: lax skin and fullness in select cases.

Midsection and lower body

Abdomen: apron skin, laxity, and muscle separation.
Waist and flanks: loose skin and uneven transitions.
Buttocks: sagging and loss of shape.
Thighs: loose inner thigh skin and rubbing.

Staging your procedures. What gets done first.

Most patients do best with a staged plan. We pick a priority area, complete that surgery, let you heal, then move to the next step. This helps you manage downtime and reduce recovery stress.

How we typically set priorities

Comfort first: areas that rub, irritate, or limit activity.
Biggest contour impact: often abdomen, waist, or lower trunk.
Clothing fit: arms, abdomen, thighs, and breasts.
Scar tolerance: each procedure has a scar tradeoff.
Safety and recovery: procedure time, healing capacity, and home support.

Who is a good candidate for post bariatric reconstruction

Candidacy depends on health, weight stability, and the amount of excess skin. Many patients do best when weight is stable. Your consultation focuses on what is safe for your body and what will deliver meaningful improvement.

You have loose, sagging skin after major weight loss.
You have stable weight and realistic expectations.
You can follow recovery restrictions and attend follow ups.
You do not use nicotine, or you can stop before and after surgery.
You can obtain medical clearance if you have chronic conditions.

Consultation. What to expect.

You should leave with a clear plan. We review how excess skin affects your daily life, your comfort, and your clothing. We evaluate skin quality, fat distribution, scars from prior surgeries, and how tissues move. Then we map the safest sequence based on your priorities.

We evaluate

Where excess skin is most significant.
Which procedures create the biggest improvement first.
Where liposuction helps, and where it does not.
Scar placement and scar expectations.
Health factors that affect healing.

How to prepare

Bring a list of your medications and supplements.
Bring your weight loss timeline, and whether you had bariatric surgery.
Share any history of anemia or vitamin deficiencies.
Complete paperwork on Patient Forms.
Review common questions on our FAQ page.

Recovery planning and downtime

Recovery varies based on which procedures you choose and whether you stage them. Most patients experience swelling, soreness, and temporary activity limits. You may need compression garments, incision care, and help at home early. A staged plan makes recovery more manageable for many patients.

If your job is physically demanding, plan time off. If you have children, plan help at home. Recovery goes better when you remove avoidable strain and let your body heal.

Risks and safety considerations

All surgery carries risk. Post weight loss patients can have added considerations like nutrition status and prior scars. Your consultation includes a direct risk review for your plan, including scarring, delayed healing, fluid buildup, infection, and blood clot risk. We also discuss how to reduce risk, including nicotine cessation and strong nutrition.

FAQ. Post weight loss body contouring.

What is the goal of post bariatric reconstruction?

The goal is to remove excess, sagging skin and reshape tissues to improve comfort and body contour after major weight loss.

Do I need one surgery or multiple surgeries?

Many patients benefit from a staged plan that includes more than one procedure. Staging helps manage recovery and supports safety.

Will liposuction fix loose skin after weight loss?

No. Liposuction removes fat, not skin. If loose skin is the main concern, a skin removal procedure like a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, or lower body lift is often needed.

Which areas can be addressed?

Common areas include arms, breasts, abdomen, waist, buttocks, and thighs. Your consultation determines which procedures match your anatomy and goals.

    I had an excellent experience and highly recommend DeRosa Plastic Surgery. I chose Dr. DeRosa to perform the breast reduction I'd wanted for 25 years and have been thrilled with the results! It's exactly what I'd hoped for, except it has also been truly life-changing.
Dr. DeRosa's team was positive, caring, helpful, and took their time making sure I understood everything. I had pretty bad day-of jitters and struggled at the post-op appointment to get my drainage tubes out, and the staff was so compassionate.
I recommend Dr. DeRosa both for her skill and precision but also because her office and staff are lovely, warm, and caring.

    I am so happy with my first experience! They used the Pico laser to treat the dark spots on my face and remove a small tattoo.  One more treatment to go!

The doctor and staff love what they do and create a great environment... helps when you might be a little nervous!

    Without a doubt I knew at my initial consult, Dr Amy DeRosa was my person I would place my trust in. Approachable, so very knowledgeable, an all around advocate for women, and kind! There was no hesitation to move forward with her in charge. Additionally, each individual who cared for me prior to surgery was just as comforting, so very capable and again kind. I felt safe.
I would never leave out the office staff. Top notch. So very helpful, responsive and once again kind! I would recommend this office without hesitation!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. DeRosa and her entire team. From my very first interaction, everyone has been incredibly empathetic, caring, and kind. You can truly tell that they are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about helping their patients feel their best.

I recently had my explant surgery and lift, and I am so happy that I made the decision to move forward with this procedure. I am only one week post-op and already feeling great. The support, compassion, and professionalism I have received throughout this process have made such a positive difference.

Dr. DeRosa and her entire team made me feel comfortable, listened to, and cared for every step of the way. I am so grateful for their expertise and the way they treat their patients like real people, not just another procedure.

Thank you, Dr. DeRosa and your amazing team, for making this experience such a positive one. I am so happy I chose you!

   Verified Best Decision I Could Have Made
Haven’t posted yet to their google review but lmk what you think. Dr. DeRosa, Tim, and the entire team were absolutely incredible throughout my breast explant journey. From my very first emotional phone call, Tim reassured me that what I was experiencing wasn’t “in my head,” even after multiple doctors and specialists couldn’t explain my severe joint pain and inflammation. Meeting Dr. DeRosa was a turning point—she is not only highly knowledgeable but also kind, genuine, and deeply empathetic. Knowing she had personal experience made me feel even more confident in my decision. Surgery day went smoothly, and the results were life-changing. I immediately noticed I could breathe better, and the inflammation I had been suffering from disappeared. I felt like myself again with minimal discomfort. At my follow-ups, I continued to receive the same level of care and compassion. Learning that one implant had been leaking only confirmed I made the right choice. Now at 8 weeks post-op, I feel amazing and love how I look. I’m beyond grateful to Dr. DeRosa, Tim, and the entire team. If you’re considering a surgeon in Michigan, I highly recommend them—truly the best decision I could have made.

Dr. DeRosa and her kind staff took such good care of me before, during and after my explant and lift surgery. I’m so glad that my ruptured implants are gone and I already feel better since they’ve been removed. I expected droopy breasts but much to my surprise with the help of Dr. DeRosa’s expertise my breasts look perkier than before I breast fed. I’m so incredibly grateful for Dr. DeRosa’s skill. Thanks to Tim for answering my numerous questions, Wanda who did indeed take good care of me, operating room nurse, Katie for answering my post op questions and the entire staff for being so kind.

If you’re looking for an explant surgeon don’t waste any more time and do yourself a favor, use Dr. DeRosa. Not only a skilled and experienced surgeon, she herself has been a patient and advocate for explant and BII. I couldn’t recommend her (and everyone who works in the surgical team and office) more. Warm, caring, supportive, and my results look great. She does what she says she will do. They are prompt in the office as well, running on time seems like a luxury these days. Thank you Dr DeRosa!!

The GOAT of Explant Surgery!! If you’re looking for an explant surgeon do yourself a favor and use Dr. DeRosa. Not only a skilled and experienced surgeon, she herself has been a patient and advocate for explant and BII. I couldn’t recommend her (and everyone who works in the surgical team and office) more. Warm, caring, supportive, and my results look great at 7 weeks post op, can’t wait to see the final result! Dr DeRosa put me at ease immediately and made me feel like we were old friends. Seriously the best bedside manner I’ve experienced. She does what she says she will do. They are prompt in the office as well, running on time seems like a luxury these days. Thank you Dr DeRosa!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. DeRosa and her entire staff! From the moment we walked in, everyone was warm, welcoming, and professional. A special thank you to Tim, who went above and beyond in caring for my mother. He did an incredible job using their Picosure machine to clean up her eyebrow tattoo. The results were far better than we ever expected, and the process was comfortable and reassuring every step of the way. Dr. DeRosa clearly sets the tone for excellence in her office — you can feel how much they all truly care about their patients. If you’re looking for a team that combines top-notch technology with genuine compassion, look no further. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. DeRosa and the entire team. From my very first consultation through surgery and recovery, I felt completely supported, cared for, and heard. Dr. DeRosa is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and thorough — I felt confident every step of the way. The staff, nurse Katie, and Wanda, all deserve just as much praise. Everyone I interacted with was kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable. They answered all my questions patiently, kept me informed, and truly treated me like a person, not just a patient. My explant surgery and recovery have been smoother than I imagined, and I am so grateful for the level of professionalism and care I received. I would highly recommend Dr. DeRosa and team to anyone considering this procedure.

Dr. DeRosa Gave Me my Life Back I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. DeRosa and her entire staff! Each of them (Dr. DeRosa, Nurse Katie, Wanda, Tim, and Mackenzie) made me feel so comfortable and welcome from the second I stepped through the door at DeRosa Plastic Surgery. I was suffering big time with Breast Implant Illness that had lead to an autoimmune diagnosis, medications with terrible side effects, and just a lack of ability to truly live life at 36 years old. I'm 8 weeks post-op now and feel like an entirely new person! Not to mention, Dr. DeRosa does beautiful work and I feel even more feminine with my new breasts than I ever did with my implants! The day of surgery went so smoothly, I arrived at 6:30am to see Nurse Katie's smiling face and the smiles didn't stop, both Wanda and Dr. DeRosa came to speak with me and made sure I was comfortable with everything that was about to happen. After care was great, Nurse Katie called to check on me and give me reminders for the following days. Skipping ahead to my 6 week post-op, I walked in their door feeling like a whole new person, Dr. DeRosa celebrated with me, made me like a part of the family, and even posed for a selfie with me (who wouldn't want a reminder of the person who gave them their life back!). I will forever be grateful to Dr. DeRosa and her entire team for what they have done for me and how incredibly I was treated throughout the entire process!

Dr. DeRosa and her entire surgical team (Reagan too) are all so amazing. They made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Dr. DeRosa took her time with me. Her husband, Tim, also explained so much about the process. We never felt rushed while we were there and Dr. DeRosa answered all of my questions and concerns in great detail. Reagan deserves a medal for taking so many of my phone calls throughout this process. Thank you all for your kindness. Everyone has been so supportive through the explant process up until the very end. Highly recommended. 🩷

I cannot say enough about Dr DeRosa and her staff. After consulting with several plastic surgeons regarding a breast reduction and lift, and being very disappointed with my experience with same, meeting Dr DeRosa was a breath of fresh air. She is bubbly, reassuring and confident in her craft, which allows patients to relax in knowing she's going to take the best care of them and do her best work. I am beyond pleased with my results. Her entire staff is amazing and so caring. She has an all female surgical staff and I think that's so cool. Tim is equally amazing! Great personality and certainly on top of things. For the sake of privacy, I don't wish to share my name but so that the Dr and staff know who thinks the world of them, my surgery was 5/20/24, and I was the only patient for the day. Sending a BIG thank you to you all. I HIGHLY recommend Dr DeRosa for all of your plastic surgery needs!

Dr DeRosa is the Best Dr. DeRosa was amazing! From the minute, I walked in the door for my consultation to my six week postop I experience nothing but professionalism, courtesy, kindness, compassion, and friendliness. She listened patiently to all my questions and was very thorough and explaining my procedure. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I knew I was in the best hands possible. I’m so grateful for her and her team who made my explant surgery easy. Do not hesitate to have her take care of you. She is the best!

Dr.Amy DeRosa,Tim, Clarissa, Shannon, Rebecca and Wanda... They gave me so much SUPPORT, COMPASSION,CARE, let me. express my self and understanding when I first came in for a consultation. The fact that Dr.DeRosa has gone thru this same procedure is game changing in my mind. Tim fights for you, with you in regards to getting help to cover all bases is Amazing. The time he took alone with me, well speaks volumess!! Rebecca, always made sure all communications were clear and I Understoood things even repeating some things. Carissa CERT.1ST ASST, C.S.T. , Shannon,R.N. and Wanda C R.N.A, OMG... Could there be a finer OR Team? The compassion, laughter and gentleness when I was tearing up meant so much. Dr.DeRosa is also leading the way to get the medical community and insurance companies to recognize that BII is real. There needs to be more education about the dangers of implants. Their not life time devices. Incredibly lucky and beyond greatful to have THE BEST in Explant Surgery with Capsulectomy in Mi. If your outside of Mi, make the trip to come see DeRosa Plastic Surgery. Your life will be forever changed for the better. Don't wait any longer.

From day 1 I felt very comfortable Absolutely the best in the business!! From day 1 I felt very comfortable with Dr. DeRosa. Leading up to my surgery I was extremely nervous and anxious, however from the moment walking into the surgical center and being greeted by her staff, I knew I was in the best hands out there. My care was top notch, and I am so happy with my results. I truly believe Dr. DeRosa gave me my life back! I cannot thank her enough.

I Could Not Ask for a Better Experience! I was fully informed and had the best possible outcome I could not ask for a better experience! Dr DeRosa and her team are truly amazing. Dr DeRosa is talented, caring, personable, and took her time to ensure that I was fully informed and had the best possible outcome. She was readily available to address my questions and concerns both before and after surgery. Because of my past experience, I really did A LOT of research, calling/emailing surgeons, and having office visits before deciding to have Dr DeRosa perform my surgery. I feel great and am so happy with my results. I would recommend her and her staff without hesitation!

Office review - fantastic team and run a superb office When I required explant surgery, I wanted the absolute best skilled surgeon I could find. Dr. DeRosa certainly delivered! She is a gifted and talented surgeon who truly cares about her patients before and long after the operation. Her husband Tim, the surgical coordinator/educator was very instrumental in making sure I was equipped with all the necessary information needed before I even had consulted with the dr. They are a fantastic TEAM and run a superb office! I would highly recommend Dr. Amy DeRosa!!

Implant removal with areola adjustment and skin excision I choose Dr. DeRosa for my implant removal after doing a lot of research. I ended up driving 8 hours for my October, 2022 consult and after meeting her and her wonderful team knew immediately that I made the right decision! My implants were 23 year old silicone gel that had hardened over the years and had become very uncomfortable. My surgery was scheduled for March 2023. I had Implant removal with areola adjustment and skin excision. The communication between Dr. DeRosa's office myself and my primary care provider was excellent and I was able to have all of my pre-op testing completed in a timely manner. The week before surgery the nervousness was starting to kick in until I got a call from Michelle who would be administrating my Anesthesia. She walked me through everything that would be taking place and totally calmed me down. Because of my conversation with her I went into surgery feeling excited verses nervous! As for Dr. DeRosa, she is extremely professional, warm and caring, concerned, and in my opinion the very best in her field! My results are beyond anything that I was expecting, she is a true artist! I am now 7 weeks out. Recovery is going great! Thank you again Dr. DeRosa, Tim, Rebecca, Michelle and staff!

My friends say you look great and I am calling her! Dr. Derosa, listened to my plan, liked my plan, and did not try to push any other procedure. She managed expectations. I had no pain with my lower or upper eyes and had no bruising in 9 days. I also received Chin Lipo which also exceeded my expectations. If you listen to the instructions you are provided and do what they advise you to do, you too should have great results. My friends just say you look great and I am calling her:) Which one friend did immediately!

Everyone was caring and wonderful - pain was not bad at all Everyone (from beginning to end) was very caring and wonderful to me! Pain was not bad at all after surgery or the days after. I only had one day I felt a little queasy. I didn't care what I looked like after, I just wanted "them" out! I actually felt SO ALIVE, AMAZING AND REVIVED! Seriously weight lifted from me!!! I immediately felt a difference. I am so grateful for Dr. DeRosa from beginning to end, she was so caring and empathetic. I would recommend her to everyone!

Wanting to do forex trade for a long time now but haven't been able to make much profit. I saw a review on a page about Mrs Jessica Wayne and I must confess that she is one of the best trader I've ever seen. She managed my account after I invested $1,200 I withdraw $14,350 within a week. I strongly recommend that you trade with Mrs Jessica Wayne fx, there's no chance of losing your funds when you work with her. DM her Email: jessywayne2j2@gmail.com WhatsApp +1(918)609-3473.

Best breast implant removal experience! Couldn’t be happier with results Dr. DeRosa is absolutely amazing! She was honest, caring and understanding. Never once did I feel rushed or pushed into making my decision. She answered all my questions before I even asked and was honest with everything she said. She did an amazing job and I couldn’t be any happier with my results! Her staff is absolutely wonderful and caring as well. Thank you Dr. DeRosa for giving me my life back and thank you to your staff for being so nice and helpful!

My visit with Dr. DeRosa was as she put it anything but normal, I had a tummy tuck, with a OMG, allergic reaction. But she saw me through till I was totally healed, and the end result is just amazing. I would recommend her to anyone!

Today was my first visit to Dr DeRosa’s office. The staff was efficient and welcoming. Tim, the Patient Coordinator, was relaxed and friendly and made what could have been an anxious experience easy and comfortable. Dr DeRosa was exceptional. I am impressed by her skill, her knowledge and her ability to communicate her thoughts and impressions in a clear and understandable manner with a warm and human demeanor. I am so happy to have found this practice.

Dr Amy Derosa has pretty much saved my life! She is so kind and takes the time to sit and listen to you. My surgery was a hard surgery for me and she was honest about what my recovery would be like. If you have heard of Breast Implant Illness this is the Dr you want to see! All of the office staff was so nice and you could tell they really cared about my healing process. #thehealisreal #BII #breastimplantillness

There isn't enough space to write all the wonderful things about Dr. DeRosa and her staff. They are kind, honest people who know their business. I went in expecting one thing and they suggested another option that worked out perfectly for me. They are genuine, real deal people. I will continue to go here for all of my future cosmetic needs as well as anyone in my family who needs advice and options. I recommend them "highly"!

I am an Oncology Social Worker at the Botsford / Beaumont Cancer Center in Farmington Hills . I also work contingent at the Hospital and have for the past 30 years . I had the pleasure of meeting Dr.DeRosa at the Hospital and was able to watch how beautifully she cared for her patients . My thoughts were how can someone so brilliant , sweet, kind and caring also be a great Doctor. It was such a great environment to be able to observe her in. Since I also see all of the Cancer Patients at the Cancer Center I felt very confident in recommending her to my patients that had not had the best of outcomes with their past surgeries and felt that she would be able to help them feel better about themselves after meeting with her and hearing how she could help them . I felt very confident and comfortable recommending her to many of my patients . Since I see patients at many different stages of their treatments I would recommend her to the newly diagnosed breast cancer patients to those who had not had the best of outcomes with their previous surgeries . I am also a 3 year breast cancer survivor and requested that Dr. DeRosa do my Lumpectomy . It looked great but I did not have clear margins so I needed a complete mastectomy less then 2 weeks later . I had expanders places and went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments . I returned to work after my surgery and worked during my chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Dr DeRosa came to the Cancer Center and worked with my radiation oncologist Dr James Fontanesi to help plan what would be the best way to radiate my affected areas and to allow for maximum preservation of the radiated breast tissue . This was something that I would never expect a busy physician to do but I totally appreciated how much time she spent making sure I would have the best of outcomes. I think for many women and men going through Cancer Treatments that we feel that we are no longer in control of our lives and outcomes . I feel that Dr.DeRosa helped me to feel that this was just part of the process and that we can make sure that I would have the best outcome possible . Cancer patients also feel that they will never be whole again and Dr. DeRosa honestly does her best to make you feel that she has done everything she can to make you feel that everything has been done that can be to ensure that you feel as much like your old self as you can . Dr. DeRosas new medical facility and staff are also wonderful and make you feel that they are there to take care of you and offer you the best of care . I would recommend Dr.DeRosa to anyone and feel 100 percent comfortable sending anyone to her and her wonderful staff. The funny thing about cancer is that once you have had it you always have that fear in the back of your mind that you can have a recurrence and that you will never be the same again. I think if you surround yourself with good caregivers and physicians that have tried their best to do whatever they can to make you whole again that you just come back stronger . Maybe not the same as you once were but stronger in many ways . I think that people like Dr. DeRosa help you become that stronger person and make you feel that they cared for you and are there for you . Thank you Dr. DeRosa for the wonderful care you have given me and offered to so many others. Sincerely , Jeri M Davis , LMSW

Dr. DeRosa and her staff have been absolutely amazing. From the very beginning they have answered all of my questions and been very understanding. They worked with my insurance which a lot of doctors won't even attempt to do. Last Friday Dr. DeRosa completed a fleur de lis panniculectomy and abdominoplasty with muscle repair at Beaumont Farmington Hills. I could not be happier. My incisions look fantastic and I can't wait to see how much better it continues to get as the healing continues. I would highly recommend her and her office to anyone! She made what was a scary decision a much easier one. I felt comfortable with her from the day I met her and her entire office helped every step of the way. I can't thank them enough.

An accident left my face without a front tooth and feeling like I wanted to hide . After feeling sorry for myself, I decided to make something good out of a bad situation. I looked into expensive and evasive face lifts. Then I spoke with Tim at DeRosa Plastic Surgery Instead of being a sales person, he educated me on my choices for looking better. I had a CO2 laser treatment. The results exceeded my expectations. Tim is still giving me advise, and saved my self esteem. I can't thank the team at DeRosa enough

Dr. DeRosa is so much more than a plastic surgeon. She has given me a new lease on life! I am so thrilled with the results of my tummy tuck and the natural look that she has given to my body. Nothing fake looking in the results she produced and nothing fake about Dr. DeRosa and her staff. She and her staff helped both me and my husband to relax and feel confident before, during and after my surgery. I adore my new shape and Dr. DeRosa! Thank you to her and her staff for everything they’ve done for me, my body and my life. Kim Downey (Tummy tuck, July 2017)
