Why Patients Seek Surgery After Weight Loss
Losing weight, whether through lifestyle changes, surgery, or GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, can transform your health. But after major weight loss, many people are left with excess skin that can’t be tightened with exercise alone.
At Blackhawk Plastic Surgery, we help patients remove this extra skin and restore natural body contours, allowing you to fully enjoy the results of your hard work.
Fast-forward to my late thirties and decades of not being in love with my face and absolutely hating my profile. I decided to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ronan myself to discuss a corrective surgery on my nose. While at that appointment, I toyed with the thought of doing two surgeries at once and maybe slightly increasing my own breast size. I was able to get on his calendar and ready to go through with both procedures only weeks later! His staff was very caring and attentive and his entire team was sensitive to all of the questions and help I needed.
The outcome of both surgeries was incredible. He is so talented and I smile every time I look in the mirror. I don't shy away from cameras. I love the improvement to my nose; I wish I had done this years ago!!
My cup size went up slightly (I didn't want anything incredibly noticeable and I already wore a C-cup) but the overall improvement to the shape and natural look and feel is indescribable. I get compliments from everyone I tell (and show) and I've given his name out more than any other professional referral I've given to friends and even strangers.
My sister passed away in 2015 and I wish I could tell her I love her and think about her everyday, but I also really wish I could tell her that she was right. Dr. Ronan and the work he does was life-changing for me, too. I never thought I could say something like that, but I feel like every day is my best day yet; I smile a little brighter and a little more proudly, and definitely more often.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to stop Ozempic before surgery?
Yes, we typically have you stop GLP-1 medications a couple of weeks before surgery and follow a clear diet the day before to ensure your stomach is empty for your safety during anesthesia.
Will my results be permanent?
If your weight remains stable, your results can last for many years. Small weight fluctuations are fine, but significant changes can affect skin tightness.
How do I know if I’m ready for surgery?
If your weight has stabilized and you’re bothered by excess skin, you’re likely ready. We’ll discuss your goals and ensure you’re physically and emotionally prepared during your consultation.
Will there be scars?
Yes, but we place incisions strategically to remove the most skin while allowing scars to heal discreetly. We also offer treatments to minimize scar appearance after healing.
Is a tummy tuck a permanent solution?
A tummy tuck is considered a permanent solution for getting rid of stubborn fat, loose skin following weight loss or pregnancy, and to tighten the stomach muscles. Naturally, patients must maintain a healthy weight for the results to be satisfactory in the long term following the procedure. Significant fluctuations in weight loss or gain may affect overall appearance of tummy tuck surgery.
Are men good candidates for a tummy tuck?
Yes, men can also be good candidates for a tummy tuck, especially if they have experienced weight loss, have stretch marks and localized areas of stubborn fat.
