Numbers Show Increase in Sculpting Procedures after Massive Weight Loss

Caption

After undergoing weight loss surgery, a growing number of patients are discovering their battle isn't over. Jan O'Daniel shared her before and after photos from a recent procedure. O'Daniel dropped more than 130 pounds after weight loss surgery, but was left with a large amount of sagging, uncomfortable skin. She had a tummy tuck to address the problem, and new data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows that weight loss patients like her are fueling an increase in weight loss-related plastic surgery procedures.
