Why choose Dr. Mathew Plant for your post-weight loss procedure?

As a Royal College certified plastic surgeon with a special interest in body aesthetics, Dr. Mathew Plant combines his surgical expertise with a personalized approach to help get you across the finish line of your weight loss journey. Remove residual stubborn fat, address loose skin and enhance your natural shape with a tailored contouring procedure based on your unique anatomy and goals.

How we can help complete your transformation

Dr. Plant takes a customized approach to every procedure, combining techniques that best suit your unique anatomy and goals—often in ways other surgeons won’t. Depending on your needs, your body contouring plan may include one or more of the following procedures:

Tummy Tuck

Flattens and tightens the abdomen by removing excess skin and repairing stretched or separated muscles for a toned, sculpted midsection.

Dr. Plant offers many versions of this procedure to suit all of his weight loss patients’ unique needs. Whether you require a standard no-drain tummy tuck, an extended tummy tuck or a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, Dr. Plant has got you covered.

Breast Lift

Restores a youthful breast shape by lifting and reshaping deflated and/or sagging breasts.

The changes that occur in the breasts during a significant weight loss are unique and require a different approach than the run of the mill breast lift performed to address the effects of aging or gravity alone. Dr. Plant uses special techniques to ensure that all of the tissue that remains is maximized to give you the fullest, perkiest breasts possible.

Circumferential Body Lift

A circumferential body lift combines a tummy tuck with a lower body lift to offer a 360-degree transformation. It tightens and reshapes the entire midsection, targeting the abdomen, lower back, and buttocks to restore definition.

Unlike the older belt lipectomy procedure, which puts a scar right around the body at the level of the belly button, a circumferential body lift in Dr. Plant’s hands puts the scars so low that most bikinis will cover it. For the most dramatic improvement in curves, this can be combined with Dr. Plant’s signature Lift + Fill Butt Lift, where fat is transferred to the butt to reshape and restore lost volume in addition to the skin removal.

Contouring customized to your unique anatomy

Lower body lift

Common for patients after major weight loss, this lifts and tightens the outer thighs and butt all in one procedure for dramatic contouring.

Fat Transfer to Buttocks

Involves using liposuction to harvest fat from areas you don't want it and transfer it to the butt and hips. In post-weight loss patients, it is a fantastic option for correcting deflation and restoring lost volume without requiring the large scars that can come with excisional procedures.

Lift & Fill Butt Lift

Dr. Plant's signature combination of a lower body lift to remove the loose skin and lift the buttocks and outer thighs, combined with a fat transfer to the butt and hips to restore lost volume and perfect the hourglass shape.

Back Lift (Bra-Line Back Lift)

Targets excess skin and fat along the upper back and bra line to address folds on the back and create a smoother, more contoured back profile. This procedure is often combined with liposuction to get the best overall results.

Panniculectomy

Removes the hanging excess skin (pannus) from the lower abdomen, usually after significant weight loss, improving both comfort and mobility. It is less invasive than a full abdominoplasty and is a great option for patients who have not entirely completed their weight loss journey but are finding that the excess skin is interfering with exercise or mobility.

Post-Weight Loss Surgery in Toronto: Your Questions, Answered

Can I get an appointment for a general consultation?

Scheduling a consultation is quick and easy. You can call our Toronto office at (647) 372-1365 or fill out our online consultation form to get started. Dr. Plant offers multiple consultation options to fit your needs, including in-person consultations at our Toronto office in Lawrence Park and for our out of town patients from all over Canada and the United States we offer virtual consultations for added convenience. During your one-on-one consultation, he will take the time to answer your questions, assess your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your body and desired results.

Our team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience from your first call to your final results.

How long until I see final results after treatment?

The timeline for seeing final results can vary depending on the specific procedure you undergo. In many cases, you will notice initial improvements right after the procedure, but final results typically appear after the swelling subsides. The healing process is gradual, and as the body adjusts, the contours will refine over time. Dr. Plant’s expertise in shaping and sculpting ensures that you’ll see beautifully natural, balanced results that align with your expectations.

How long is the recovery?

Recovery time varies depending on the procedures involved, but most patients can return to light activities within a few days to a week. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common during the initial recovery period. Dr. Plant provides comprehensive aftercare instructions, including wearing compression garments to support the healing process, as well as follow-up visits to ensure optimal results. You’ll gradually resume normal activities as you heal, with the final contours becoming clearer in the weeks to come.

How much do the procedures cost?

Procedure cost varies based on the specific procedures performed, the areas treated, and the overall complexity of your treatment plan. Dr. Plant will provide you with a personalized estimate during your consultation, ensuring you understand the cost of your procedure and the value of the customized care you’ll receive.

While price is one factor that can be considered, it’s more important to prioritize expertise, safety and the overall patient experience when choosing a surgeon. Dr. Plant’s experience and precision ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results, making your investment in yourself worthwhile.

Is there financing available?

Yes, we offer financing options through third-party Medicard, Credit Medical, and Beautifi to make your cosmetic goals more accessible. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to look and feel their best, and our team can help you explore financing options that suit your budget and preferences. Don’t hesitate to discuss this with us during your consultation – we’re here to support you every step of the way.

What is the consultation process like, and what should I expect during my first visit?

Dr. Plant will evaluate areas of excess skin, discuss your goals, and assess how your body has changed after significant weight loss. Together, you’ll develop a tailored surgical plan focused on restoring body proportion, removing excess skin, and revealing the results of your weight loss. You’ll have the opportunity to ask Dr. Plant anything on your mind, helping you feel prepared and confident about your next steps. It’s a meaningful chance to speak with the surgeon who’ll be performing your procedure, offering insight that goes beyond what a sales consultant can provide.

Who will my consultation be with?

All consultations are with Dr. Plant himself, not a salesperson or nurse-consultant. He does it this way for several reasons. First, he feels patients are entitled to meet and get to know their potential surgeon before booking a procedure. Second, he strongly believes that only the surgeon truly knows what they can accomplish in surgery, and he does not want someone who doesn’t actually operate making promises that cannot be delivered. Third, patients come having researched the procedure and are prepared with questions about the procedure that he feels can only be answered completely by the surgeon.

Do I have to buy a special garment for after surgery?

No way! We like to make things easy for our patients, so all of our pricing is all-inclusive, meaning the price you are given by Dr. Plant is the price you will pay. There are no hidden fees for garments or fancy pre-surgical vitamins that magically appear after you’ve placed a deposit. The only cost you may incur above and beyond the quoted price is what you pay the pharmacist to fill your prescription, and this is typically less than $100 for patients who do not have drug coverage.

How many follow-ups are included with my procedure and when will they be?

While other surgeons limit follow-ups, Dr. Plant feels that surgical patients should always have access to their surgeon and not be charged for it. In addition to the 5-6 standard follow-up appointments over the first year, Dr. Plant is happy to see his patients in follow-up as much as they feel is necessary and for as long as he is in practice.
