Home|Physician-Supported Weight Management Program
For patients interested in physician-supported weight management, our practice offers a clinically guided metabolic health program to help you achieve your goals. Whether you wish to lose weight prior to surgery or optimize your post-operative results, our Atlanta plastic surgeon—Dr. Tom Lintner—and his team offer safe, effective solutions in a comfortable, patient-focused environment. In particular, our available options can help patients struggling with visceral fat in the abdomen lose weight prior to abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery.
Our physician-supported weight management program helps reduce body fat in most patients. Our approach includes lifestyle counseling and medical supervision to support safe, gradual weight reduction and improved metabolic health. When used appropriately by qualified candidates, our available treatments can lead to significant weight loss. That said, it is important to consult with a qualified medical provider prior to starting treatment to ensure the proper candidacy requirements are met.
Candidacy for our clinically guided metabolic health program must be determined on a case-by-case basis. We encourage interested patients to schedule an appointment with us so that one of our providers can assess your health history and weight loss goals to determine if treatment is right for you.
While our physician-supported weight management program can help individuals lose weight, many patients are left with loose or sagging skin. There are a variety of post-weight loss body contouring procedures that can address these lingering concerns. Popular surgical options include:
After weight loss, many individuals experience sagging or “bat wing” skin around the arms that don’t respond to exercise. An arm lift can address these concerns by tightening and reshaping the underlying tissue for a smoother, firmer contour.
Mastopexy augmentation combines a breast lift with implants to restore volume and elevate sagging breasts, which can be beneficial following significant weight loss. This procedure can enhance breast shape, firmness, and projection for a more youthful, balanced figure.
A tummy tuck involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This procedure is often ideal after significant weight loss to address loose, sagging skin and a lack of muscle tone.
A posterior body lift targets the lower back, buttocks, and outer thighs to remove excess skin and fat, enhancing body contour and skin tightness. After major weight loss, patients often struggle with sagging skin in these areas, which can affect comfort and appearance.
Patients usually experience sagging skin in the thigh area after major weight loss, which can cause discomfort and affect mobility or clothing fit. A thigh lift is designed to remove this excess skin and fat from the inner or outer thighs, improving leg contours and skin firmness.
Individuals may notice loose skin, deep folds, or jowling that can make the face appear aged or tired after losing weight. A facelift repositions and tightens sagging facial tissues to restore a more youthful, defined appearance.
