Post-GLP-1 body contouring in Bend, Oregon
Plan your next chapter after major weight loss.
Major weight loss can leave loose skin that exercise cannot remove and contour changes that persist after weight stabilizes. Body contouring can remove excess skin and reshape selected areas after your weight and health have stabilized.

Could this be right for you?
There is no single waiting period that fits every person. During your consultation, Dr. Borsting considers the pattern behind the number on the scale.
- Your recent weight pattern can support a durable plan.
- Your health and nutrition can support healing.
- You can provide a complete medication and procedure history.
- You can identify the area or concern that matters most.
- You can arrange transportation and support during recovery.
Choose the areas that matter most
Weight change can affect several areas at once. The consultation should define the main concern, the tissue involved, and a sequence that matches your health and support.
- Loose skin or localized fat
- Liposuction removes localized fat. It does not remove substantial loose skin.
- First priority
- A coherent plan can start with the area that affects you most instead of treating every concern at once.
- Combined or staged
- Health, procedure scope, surgical demand, and recovery support guide whether treatment is combined or separated.
- Medication and health review
- Bring a complete medication list. Your clinical team will give instructions for the exact procedure plan.
Three readiness questions come first
Your consultation brings these answers into focus. No fixed month count or weight number can replace a plan built around you.
- Pattern
- Is your recent weight trend compatible with a durable contour plan?
- Health
- Can your general health and nutrition support the demands of healing?
- Support
- Can you arrange transportation, activity help, and follow-up for the proposed scope?
Plan the right time for your next chapter
Dr. Borsting reviews more than the contour concern. Your history helps determine whether the timing, scope, and sequence deserve consideration.
- 1
Weight and health history
Review your recent weight pattern, nutrition, health conditions, prior operations, and healing history.
- 2
Medication review
Provide the full medication list, dose history, and symptoms. Follow the instructions given by your clinical team for the exact plan.
- 3
Priority and sequence
Identify the main concern and discuss how health, surgical demand, and support affect a combined or staged approach.
Build recovery into your transformation
Body contouring can involve different scars, garments, dressings, lifting limits, and follow-up needs. A staged plan creates a separate recovery for each operation.
- Arrange transportation and help at home for the proposed procedure scope.
- Follow the exact instructions for incision care, medications, nutrition, activity, and follow-up.
- Expect swelling and scars to change over time rather than on a fixed schedule.
Know what to expect
The risk profile depends on health, nutrition, the area treated, and the procedure scope. Possible complications can include:
- Bleeding, infection, fluid collection, or blood clots
- Wound-healing problems, skin or fat loss, or an unfavorable scar
- Changes in sensation or asymmetry
- Anesthesia complications or another operation
Dr. Borsting will explain the risks that apply to your exact plan and answer your questions before you decide.
Body contouring cost
Cost depends on the procedures selected, operative time, anesthesia, facility fees, medical testing, prescriptions, and postoperative garments. A staged plan divides those costs across separate operations. You will receive individualized pricing after your examination and treatment plan.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to stop my GLP-1 medication?
- Do not stop it on your own. Most patients can continue GLP-1 medication before elective surgery, but the plan depends on your gastrointestinal risk, dose changes, symptoms, and procedure. Follow the instructions from your surgical and anesthesia teams.
- How long must my weight be stable?
- There is no universal number of months. Dr. Borsting looks for a stable pattern and confirms that your health and nutrition can support healing.
- Can liposuction remove loose skin?
- No. Liposuction removes localized fat. Loose skin usually needs a skin-removal procedure.
- Can several areas be treated at once?
- Sometimes. Other plans are safer in stages. The decision depends on your health, the procedure mix, operative time, and recovery support.
