What Is Surgery After Weight Loss?

Surgery after weight loss is a fully customizable set of procedures designed to remove excess skin and gently contour the body. Often, the skin does not fully retract after weight loss, leaving patients with loose, stretched skin on the following areas:

  • Abdomen
  • Arms
  • Thighs
  • Breasts
  • Lower body

With this procedure, Dr. Teitelbaum will smooth and tighten the skin, redraping the tissue to balance your body proportions and sculpt natural-looking curves. After recovery, you’ll be able to enjoy the full results of your weight loss journey and unveil a more confident you.

Taking Back Your Curves

For many patients, body contouring is the final step in restoring their quality of life after weight loss. Every patient’s procedure will be different, but you can expect the following benefits:

  • Removal of excess, sagging skin
  • Smoother and more proportionate body contours
  • Improved comfort and mobility in daily life
  • Better fit in clothing, particularly tight-fitting pieces
  • Enhanced confidence and body image

Are You a Candidate for Surgery After Weight Loss?

Ideal candidates for surgery after weight loss are healthy, non-smoking adults who have completed their weight loss journey and seek to remove excess skin. You need to be at or near a stable weight to undergo this procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Teitelbaum will perform a physical examination to confirm your candidacy.

Surgery After Weight Loss Patient Testimonial

"Two months ago I had an incredibly successful body lift surgery with Dr. Teitelbaum, after losing about 70lbs through diet and exercise. I am completely thrilled with the result, and every day I look in the mirror I am shocked and overjoyed at the beautiful body he has sculpted for me. I'll let the pictures tell the full story. I've yo-yoed in my weight my whole life, but about 5 years ago I gained weight rapidly after a really difficult year. This surgery was the final chapter of my journey back to health: the part of the weight loss journey that I couldn't do on my own."

Dr. Teitelbaum wrote the tummy tuck chapter for this major textbook. The particular method he described is particularly helpful for weight loss patients because it also offers improvement for loose upper thighs.

This abdominoplasty chapter in a major body contouring textbook gives surgeons detailed information on how to do this procedure.

In March, 2010, I had Bariatric Surgery! My Gastric Sleeve procedure went very well and I have lost 115 lbs. However, I found that I had a new problem. I happily could go into a store and buy NORMAL size clothes for my new much smaller body only for below my waist. All tops, jackets, and sweaters did not fit right. They fit me but not my saggy, baggy upper arms!!!

Pricing Your Procedure

The cost of your surgery after weight loss in Los Angeles will vary depending on the following factors:

  • Number of areas treated
  • Amount of excess skin removed
  • Surgical complexity
  • Whether additional treatments will be performed
  • Whether you’ll need one or multiple surgical sessions

After your consultation, Dr. Teitelbaum and his team will share a clear cost estimate and extensive financing options for total transparency.

What to Expect From Your Surgery After Weight Loss in Los Angeles

Your surgery after weight loss will be performed under general anesthesia at Dr. Teitelbaum’s private, accredited surgical center in Santa Monica. During surgery, Dr. Teitelbaum will make strategic incisions along the body's natural curves to access and remove excess tissue. He works conservatively, removing only the optimal amount of skin to avoid an overdone or artificial-looking result.

Once all loose skin has been removed, Dr. Teitelbaum will redrape the remaining tissue to create tighter, smoother, more natural-looking curves. Your incisions will be closed with small sutures to promote rapid healing and smooth, consistent scars. Depending on your surgical plan, you may need a staged approach to ensure all procedures can be performed safely and effectively.

Gentle, High-Touch Recovery

Recovery will vary from patient to patient, but most patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness along their treatment areas for at least a week after their procedure. You may need to wear compression garments to help reduce swelling and support your healing tissues, and it’s recommended that you have assistance at home during early recovery. Movement will be limited for several days, and it may take up to three weeks to safely return to gentle activities such as walking, desk work, and prolonged standing. After your procedure, Dr. Teitelbaum will share a customized recovery plan tailored to your body’s post-op needs. This plan may include the following items:

  • Incision site care and cleaning protocols
  • Supportive garment guidance
  • Hygiene recommendations
  • Recovery clothing requirements
  • Activity limitations
  • Sleep position restrictions
  • Swelling and pain management strategies

Over the coming months, you return to Dr. Teitelbaum’s Los Angeles office for regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. There, Dr. Teitelbaum will assess your skin quality and ensure your tissues are settling properly. Your final results will become apparent once residual swelling fades, which may take six months or more.

The surgery went flawlessly and fixed the issue I had due to scar tissue build up. Dr Teitlebaum is just the best. I was able to get back to Texas and open my business 3 days after surgery which I know wouldn't have been possible with anyone else.

It wasn't needed, but I felt supported knowing I could call if I had a question or concern. I felt mentally prepared for the procedure. I knew what to expect.

My pre-op nurse Ashley was amazing and thorough in answering questions/being available, so that I felt I had prepared well for my surgery. Dr Teitelbaum was confident and professional in my consultation, which set me at ease about the procedure. I am thrilled at my results - how natural and well-shaped my breasts look, and how minimal the scarring is. I had wanted this surgery for a long time, and my expectations for a skilled surgeon were met. 1. My postop nurse was gentle/caring - so important when awaking from anesthesia 2. I was shocked/grateful for how minimal my post-operative pain was, even after the nerve block wore off 3. the incredibly easy postop care; showering the next day

He let me know that the initial procedure I wanted would give me adverse effects and showed me a better alternative. He really cares for the health and overall wellbeing of his clients

Everyone in the office is very knowledgable and helpful in answering questions. Dr. Titelbaum heard what I am looking for and took his time with our consultation.

Dr. Teitelbaum is personable, clearly explained my options and answered all my questions.

The office staff was always available and I never felt like o was just a number. Working with Vicki was one of the best experiences. She answered all of my questions regarding costs and scheduling and healing. A wealth of knowledge and compassion.

Staff was so thoughtful, throuough, and helpful. Doctor did an amazing job. End results are exactly what I wanted and look amazing.

Scheduled quickly and consult was completed in a timely manner. Based on the consult, I have scheduled my surgery with Dr. Teitelbaum. Excellent surgeon, thorough and compassionate. I highly recommend.

I am really happy that I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Teitelbaum. It wasn't really that painful and I'm happy with the outcome. It went as well as it possibly could.

Dr. Teitelbaum really listened to me. He clearly explained what I could expect from the surgery and helped me to manage my expectations.

How do you describe in a few short sentences a truly remarkable experience with a creative genius? My encounter with Dr Teitelbaum came through a "google" search from my dear sweet mom. What can I say other than the old adage stands true still today..."Mother knows best". Upon meeting Dr Teitelbaum, in the first few minutes there was no doubt in my mind that he was my doctor. A brilliantly skilled artist and fabulous educator, Dr Teitelbaum is in one word brilliant. I scheduled a consult for a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. After careful examination, Dr Teitelbaum not only told me my breasts were "about the prettiest he had ever seen", he recommended that I not have them done. On my petite frame, he could not see the benefit of "slightly bigger" at risk of affecting their shape. On the other hand, Dr Teitelbaum said I would benefit from a rhinoplasty. I loved the way he spoke about my nose. He said "your nose belongs on someone else's face." (Such a classy way to insinuate that really there are no bad noses, just that some noses do not match a certain face). I am so thankful for his honesty and genuine position. From that day of consultation to surgery completion, every detail was class act. After a one and a half hour surgery, and one hour recovery, I spent the evening in quiet celebration at Dr Teitelbaum's restaurant recommendation, Milo and Olive. (Did I mention that I was supposed to take it easy? I must have missed that on the post op "take home worksheet".) It was too beautiful of a night to not take that 1 mile walk to dine at such a fabulous establishment...thanks Dr T for a beautiful nose, fabulous experience, and now a new favorite eatery. Cheers to a great team!

From my initial consultation to the day of surgery, Dr. Teitelbaum and his office went above and beyond to ensure I received the result I wanted. As a bodybuilding competitor, symmetry is paramount. Not only did Dr. T and his staff take the time and effort to ensure that my results would be EXACTLY how I envisioned but took extra care in determining what would be the best procedure to achieve my goals, what implants would suit me, and showed me a variety of methods we could make it happen. I was impressed with the overall process and how nuanced the office was with me - it greatly enhanced their credibility as an office that genuinely cares about their patients’ well-being, physical and psychological.

I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. T about 6 weeks ago and am thrilled with how well everything went. I was flying in from out of town for the surgery and so my consult was over the phone. The first time I met Dr. T was the day before my surgery but I had done my research and was comfortable with my decision. Everyone at the office that I dealt with was great. Vicki and Audrey were very patient with me as I had many questions and they were always quick to get back to me. Dr. T was so knowledgable and had a great sense of humor; I knew I would be in good hands. The procedure and recovery were very fast. The morning of the surgery I was back at my hotel shortly after 10am, napped for a couple hours as instructed, then was up for the rest of the day. I did experience some nerve pain in my breasts beginning several days after the surgery which lasted for about 3 weeks, but it has since totally subsided and was told this wasn't anything to worry about. I was worried that I would not be able to work out like I did before the surgery, as I am very active. For the first 3 weeks after surgery I didn't exercise, but then slowly began to again. Now I have been running, cycling, doing barbell presses and using heavy kettlebells again with no issues. I couldn't believe it! I'm so happy that I did this for myself and really can't think of anything I would have changed in the whole process. A big thank-you to Dr. Teitelbaum!

Dr. Teitelbaum is the Mater Guru of breast augmentation. My 1st breast augmentation from him was 12 years ago. Since then I have had a baby to whom I breast fed and they still looked amazing. But I wanted to re-do them since it had been a long time, so without question Dr. Teitelbaum was who I called. His technique and perfectionism made them look so naturally beautiful. His entire staff is a first class act, and so genuine; love them! To be honest, I had an ex-boyfriend of mine ask me who did my breast augmentation, as he said they were the best he'd ever seen. Since then he has referred 6 girls to Dr. T over the past 5 years. Anyway, he's the MAN!!!!!

Dr. Teitelbaum is unequivocally THE BEST plastic surgeon! When I realized I required an extremely complicated breast revision, I started researching doctors far and wide. I travelled 3,000 miles to see him and would travel farther without hesitation. For me, the most important thing was an excellent result, and I am fortunate to have the flexibility to choose the best doctor. I did a ton of research, and even considered international options. I interviewed six different doctors and looked at tens of thousands of before and after photos. In the end, Dr. Teitelbaum’s photos were the most stunningly MASTEFUL by a large margin. He is an absolute magician, creating a gorgeous, natural result even when you can’t imagine it is possible. My own results are no exception. I am delighted beyond words every time I look in the mirror! I can’t find enough ways to say “thank you” to him for brining back joy and confidence in my appearance. If you want the best, Dr. T is your doctor! I should also note that his staff is amazing, and the recovery was a breeze. I felt extremely relaxed and cared for in a potentially stressful and nerve-wracking situation. I would have chosen Dr. Teitelbaum based on the photos of his work alone, but if you are considering a surgery with him, you should know that everyone in his office will make your transformation easier and truly enjoyable. A thousand thanks to the whole team!

I have had 2 separate procedures done by Dr. Teitelbaum. Having had bariatric surgery, I desperately needed excess tissue removed from my arms and I had a bad skin cancer on my face near my nose. The thoroughness of Dr. Teitelbaum in his approach to each procedure was wonderful! He very carefully explained to me each procedure, its pros and cons and what I could expect after the surgery. Any fears that I had were alleviated by his thorough, positive approach. I can recommend Dr. Teitelbaum to any of my friends who are contemplating plastic surgery with no reservations! He is compassionate, thoughtful, thorough, professional and an extremely talented surgeon!

Dr. Teitelbaum is the BEST surgeon you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. I was 17 and struggling with having a severe deformity in my breasts. I was incredibly insecure from years of being bullied for my deformity. I went to see one surgeon before Dr. T, he looked at me and told me I had the worst breast’s he’s ever seen and that I am not fixable. I was devastated, somehow I was giving the opportunity to meet with Dr. T and he made me feel so confident and comfortable with who I was before he even operated. He changed my life in two surgeries when other surgeons said to do it in 4 or 6 etc. Dr. T and his team are truly amazing, they are the kindest and most endearing people you will ever meet. It’s been 4 years and I just got married, to this day I am still in contact with Dr. T and his team showing them pictures of me in my dress and thanking them for all their hard work (trust me it wasn’t easy work). I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for Dr. T and his wonderful team.

Dr Teitelbaum and his staff are caring professionals working to achieve high quality, natural and realistic patient results and satisfaction. From the moment I spoke with his office; I was impressed. When I met Dr T for my consultant, I knew immediately I found a physician I could trust with my face and Brow Lift! I work in the medical community and SoCal has a lot of plastic surgeons. When I decided I was ready for some enhancements in my facial appearance (over 50); I did a lot a research on procedures as well as surgeons. I asked friends and colleagues for referrals. After careful review; I narrowed it down to three - Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Newport Beach. I read reviews; websites and poured over the before and after pics. So, believe me when I write: you'll Love Dr Teitelbaum and his staff; April, Michelle, Vicki, Jackie, Maria! They listen to your desires, goals and concerns. I was sent detailed information about the procedures ahead of my consultant, including info about the risks, recovery and what to expect. They did a thorough intake of my health history. During my first consultant, Dr T was running behind and popped in to apolgize for making me wait. Impressive! And once we started chatting about my goals, desires and concerns, I understood why he may run late. He LISTENS! He answers questions. He reviews your health background. He develops a plan that meets those goals and understands if you don't have an unlimited budget to tackle everything at once. (I'm definitely going back for my face lift!) He and his staff followed up with information; directions for Pre-OP and pricing. There were no surprises or missteps. On the day of the surgery, Dr T decided to eliminate a small procedure on my lower eyelids, because he didn't believe it was really necessary. I was a little shocked and at the same time, pleased that once it came down to Performance Time; he was making his best professional and clinical decisions. He refunded that portion. This Dr is about delivering beautiful results. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. My friends just think I look rested and when I show them the before; they are like WOW! What a difference! They didn't realize how much my eyelids sagged, how angry my brow lines were and the wrinkles in my forehead. During the recovery process; Michelle was such a sweetheart. We were laughing because she woke me up from a great dream. All along the way, April was there to answer my questions via phone calls and email. And, i even had a question for Dr T and he responded via cell text. They never made me feel unimportant or complaining. They were professional and concerned as well as excited for me. Great support regarding any fears too! Read his website; every word chosen is a deliberate reflection of his philosophy and beliefs. As for the other two doctors I intereviewed; I left the office of the OC doc after 5 minutes because he came in not wearing a mask during Covid! I knew we were not a match. The other doctor was awesome, but kept insisting i needed a face lift vs some eye work. Dr Teitelbaum listened. (And, his staff always wears mask even though they have been vacciinated!) TRUST I feel more confident with and without makeup. I wake up and no longer look "haggard" in the morning. And, I feel like my self - vibrant, happy and no longer "angry" with those middle of the brow lines!!! Thank you for helping me gain my "bright" self back!

I had a facelift with upper and lower eyelids done four weeks ago by Dr. Teitelbaum. I must say the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The support from his nursing staff was so helpful and comforting. They were always available for questions. Dr. Moorman the anesthesiologist did such an amazing job. I was awake and I was ready to be discharged out of recovery in 40 minutes. My result looks so natural I am thrilled with the way it looks!! Who says you can’t go back in time! Recovery went so smoothly very little discomfort, I only took three pain pills. I truly did not need more. I was merely the canvas for Dr. Teitelbaum‘s fine surgical skills and aesthetic artistry.

I flew from North Carolina to have Dr. Teitelbaum as my cosmetic surgeon. Initially, I was impressed with his reviews, website/surgical outcomes, and friendliness during the surgical consultation. I had two procedures performed today, and I couldn’t have been more impressed by the staff (reception, billing, coordinating, nurse), the anesthesiologist (also highly praise) and of course Dr. Tietelbaum. No one in this facility was trying to sell or tack on additional procedures, had your best interest at heart, and were very comforting. I can’t think of a single thing that made me feel uncomfortable or not taken care of. I highly praise this business, his and his staff’s attention to detail, and the overall feeling of genuine calmness/care I received. Although, 2400 miles away, I would not change my decision, and highly recommend! Outstanding experience.

Amazing experience start to finish! I was referred to Dr. Teitelbaum by a friend who saw him for a procedure over 5 years ago. Her results looked so natural and customized to her body type, exactly what I was looking for. I live in Austin and was hesitant about traveling out of state for procedure at first. Our initial consult was done virtually, Dr. Teitelbaum was great with answering all of my questions and addressing concerns he also did 3D imaging to show exactly what I could expect results to look like. We flew out to California a few days before procedure for my pre op appointment. We were greeted by Maria at the front desk who was extremely pleasant and friendly, after seeing her interact with other staff members it was obvious there was strong sense of community. We spoke with Ashley Ohls, the head of nursing and Dr. Teitelbaum during visit. They both made me feel so comfortable and confident going into surgery. Ashley guided me through the entire process before, during and after procedure , she even put together list of restaurant recommendations for us to check out while we were in town. Post op couldn’t have gone better, there was no pain, no bruising and minimal swelling. I was able to go out to dinner and do a bit of site seeing less than 24 hours after procedure and didn’t need anything aside from Ibuprofen to assist recovery days following! Most importantly, my results are even better than I imagined! If you want amazing natural results and quick recovery this is where you need to go. I’m SO happy I went with Dr. Teitelbaum and his staff for my procedure! Worth every penny! Highly recommend!

Dr. Teitelbaum listened to my concerns and had a good recommendation for me. He recommended a reduction plus some liposuction near the armpit.

I am just over a year out from my complicated breast aug and could not be happier with my results. The results are so natural and exceeded my expectations. I am so thankful that I was referred to Dr. Teitelbaum.

I felt that they all went above and beyond in their communication with me. I especially appreciated Marla's warmth and kindness! Dr. Teitelbaum was very warm, extremely informative and spent a great deal of time with me in consult. He gave me an incredible sense of confidence and comfort in his hands. Due to the Palisades fire, I was displaced to Miami a few weeks after. Once there I developed a problem and as soon as I contacted Dr. Teitelbaum, he went immediately into action and contacted a local surgeon he knew and I was taken cared of like royalty. I am so grateful as he has been available by phone my entire recuperation. As promised by Dr. T., the results are quite pretty and I am very, very happy and appreciative!! Thank you!!

I was able to go on a walk the night of the surgery and felt back to normal the next day - no grogginess whatsoever. I am so grateful and happy that Dr. Teitelbaum was able to create the breasts I always wished for. I highly recommend Dr. T to anyone looking for aesthetically pleasing, natural results. Thank you to Dr. T & the whole team for the perfect experience!

After two procedures with Dr. T, there is no other plastic surgeon I would recommend in the United States.

After two procedures with Dr. T, there is no other plastic surgeon I would recommend in the United States. I've never walked into the office with a photo or inspo-pic because his expertise and tenure attest to his ability to personalize every procedure based on every individual's unique structures. Indeed, each procedure is a masterpiece; he has the capability to mold your best features with whatever desired result you're looking to achieve. It's truly an art form that Dr. T has perfected. Everything from the consultation to pre-op and post-op appointments are excellent. His staff is attentive to detail, kind, and patient. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would because Dr. T's practice is impeccable. Happy is an understatement for how I feel about my results.

Dr. Teitelbaum and all of his staff are absolutely amazing. I had a breast augmentation just over a year ago and I am obsessed with my results.. I couldn't be happier!! The whole staff was so nice and accommodating from start to finish. They really put all of my anxiety at ease such as having to go under anesthesia to choosing the right size implant for my body to flying back and forth because I came from out of state. They made the whole process from scheduling my consultation to surgery day very easy for me. Dr. Teitelbaum took all my concerns seriously as well as his staff. I feel like they all genuinely cared about me getting the results I wanted and they absolutely delivered.. From a seamless procedure to getting back to work within a couple days. My confidence has sky rocketed...If I ever have any future work done I will definitely come back to Dr. Teitelbaum because he has changed my life for the better!!

Every office visit I am warmly greeted by name. This goes a long way when you are considering a procedure that requires anesthesia.

And so are all of the nurses who work with him. The product is beautiful, 4 months into healing. I recommend booking a consultation with him. Don't think twice!

I am so grateful for Dr Teitelbaum. He heard what I needed and he did a beautiful breast reduction surgery. He has a calm demeanor and capable hands. I have recommended him and will continue to for a long time. If I had the choice I would choose him again.

I am 2 months post-op from a revision abdominoplasty and I could not be more pleased. I have many years of experience in the plastic surgery field and I did my research before traveling to meet with Dr. Teitelbaum. From the initial consultation I found him to be nice, funny, but most importantly he is very smart and keenly observant. He asked many questions during the examination focusing on what bothered me and determining the right surgery for my particular situation. He gave me an honest assessment of what he thought he could achieve with revision surgery. Dr. Teitelbaum's team is top notch, each and every one of them. I know I am still recovering but I am confident I chose the right plastic surgeon to care for me. I could not give a higher endorsement for Dr. Teitelbaum and recommend him without reservation.

The weeks leading up to surgery they were responsive to all my questions and concerns and the morning of the surgery, as well as post-surgery were such great experiences. Dr. T and his staff and just wonderful. My results also were far greater than I could have imagined. He truly did such a wonderful job. My scars are healing so nicely and I get so many compliments on the work. I couldn’t be happier!! Thank you, Dr. T and staff!!

I scheduled a breast augmentation in August 2022, and I could not be more impressed with Dr. Teitelbaum or Staff. Everyone was comforting, professional, and polite. I flew from North Carolina to California for the procedure after doing my due diligence. Obviously, incurring extra costs and skipping multiple well skilled surgeons along the way. In the end, I would not hesitate to use Dr. Teitelbaum Again.

Dr. Teitelbaum, listened, understood my needs and circumstances and gave me all the information I needed

Doctor answered all my concerns/questions. Appointment was on time.

All the staff have been so friendly, helpful and genuine.

It wasn't needed, but I felt supported knowing I could call if I had a question or concern. I felt mentally prepared for the procedure. I knew what to expect. The book that was provided in advance was also very helpful. "I love my results."

The surgeon was very knowledgeable of transgender terminology, as well as being reassuring with the knowledge he had. [Single best thing is...] The surgeon knowing transgender terminology.

My pre-op nurse Ashley was amazing and thorough in answering questions/being available, so that I felt I had prepared well for my surgery. Dr Teitelbaum was confident and professional in my consultation, which set me at ease about the procedure. I am thrilled at my results - how natural and well-shaped my breasts look, and how minimal the scarring is. I had wanted this surgery for a long time, and my expectations for a skilled surgeon were met. 1. My postop nurse was gentle/caring - so important when awaking from anesthesia 2. I was shocked/grateful for how minimal my post-operative pain was, even after the nerve block wore off 3. the incredibly easy postop care; showering the next day

Dr. Teitelbaum is personable, clearly explained my options and answered all my questions.

I felt very comfortable during my visit and was happy with the plans for the surgery.

Staff was so thoughtful, throuough, and helpful. Doctor did an amazing job. End results are exactly what I wanted and look amazing

Scheduled quickly and consult was completed in a timely manner. Based on the consult, I have scheduled my surgery with Dr. Teitelbaum. Excellent surgeon, thorough and compassionate. I highly recommend.

Dr. Teitelbaum really listened to me. He clearly explained what I could expect from the surgery and helped me to manage my expectations.

Love my results! All my loose neck skin is gone. Jowling gone. [Single best thing is...] artistic skill of Dr T

Dr. T was knowledgeable and caring. He was honest and available at all time when I was under his care. His staff are warm and polite.

From my initial consultation to the day of surgery, Dr. Teitelbaum and his office went above and beyond to ensure I received the result I wanted. As a bodybuilding competitor, symmetry is paramount. Not only did Dr. T and his staff take the time and effort to ensure that my results would be EXACTLY how I envisioned but took extra care in determining what would be the best procedure to achieve my goals, what implants would suit me, and showed me a variety of methods we could make it happen. I was impressed with the overall process and how nuanced the office was with me - it greatly enhanced their credibility as an office that genuinely cares about their patients’ well-being, physical and psychological.

Dr. Teitelbaum is the Mater Guru of breast augmentation. My 1st breast augmentation from him was 12 years ago. Since then I have had a baby to whom I breast fed and they still looked amazing. But I wanted to re-do them since it had been a long time, so without question Dr. Teitelbaum was who I called. His technique and perfectionism made them look so naturally beautiful. His entire staff is a first class act, and so genuine; love them! To be honest, I had an ex-boyfriend of mine ask me who did my breast augmentation, as he said they were the best he'd ever seen. Since then he has referred 6 girls to Dr. T over the past 5 years. Anyway, he's the MAN!!!!!

Dr. Teitelbaum is unequivocally THE BEST plastic surgeon! When I realized I required an extremely complicated breast revision, I started researching doctors far and wide. I travelled 3,000 miles to see him and would travel farther without hesitation. For me, the most important thing was an excellent result, and I am fortunate to have the flexibility to choose the best doctor. I did a ton of research, and even considered international options. I interviewed six different doctors and looked at tens of thousands of before and after photos. In the end, Dr. Teitelbaum’s photos were the most stunningly MASTEFUL by a large margin. He is an absolute magician, creating a gorgeous, natural result even when you can’t imagine it is possible. My own results are no exception. I am delighted beyond words every time I look in the mirror! I can’t find enough ways to say “thank you” to him for brining back joy and confidence in my appearance. If you want the best, Dr. T is your doctor! I should also note that his staff is amazing, and the recovery was a breeze. I felt extremely relaxed and cared for in a potentially stressful and nerve-wracking situation. I would have chosen Dr. Teitelbaum based on the photos of his work alone, but if you are considering a surgery with him, you should know that everyone in his office will make your transformation easier and truly enjoyable. A thousand thanks to the whole team!

I have had 2 separate procedures done by Dr. Teitelbaum. Having had bariatric surgery, I desperately needed excess tissue removed from my arms and I had a bad skin cancer on my face near my nose. The thoroughness of Dr. Teitelbaum in his approach to each procedure was wonderful! He very carefully explained to me each procedure, its pros and cons and what I could expect after the surgery. Any fears that I had were alleviated by his thorough, positive approach. I can recommend Dr. Teitelbaum to any of my friends who are contemplating plastic surgery with no reservations! He is compassionate, thoughtful, thorough, professional and an extremely talented surgeon!

Dr Teitelbaum and his staff are caring professionals working to achieve high quality, natural and realistic patient results and satisfaction. From the moment I spoke with his office; I was impressed. When I met Dr T for my consultant, I knew immediately I found a physician I could trust with my face and Brow Lift! I work in the medical community and SoCal has a lot of plastic surgeons. When I decided I was ready for some enhancements in my facial appearance (over 50); I did a lot a research on procedures as well as surgeons. I asked friends and colleagues for referrals. After careful review; I narrowed it down to three - Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Newport Beach. I read reviews; websites and poured over the before and after pics. So, believe me when I write: you'll Love Dr Teitelbaum and his staff; April, Michelle, Vicki, Jackie, Maria! They listen to your desires, goals and concerns. I was sent detailed information about the procedures ahead of my consultant, including info about the risks, recovery and what to expect. They did a thorough intake of my health history. During my first consultant, Dr T was running behind and popped in to apolgize for making me wait. Impressive! And once we started chatting about my goals, desires and concerns, I understood why he may run late. He LISTENS! He answers questions. He reviews your health background. He develops a plan that meets those goals and understands if you don't have an unlimited budget to tackle everything at once. (I'm definitely going back for my face lift!) He and his staff followed up with information; directions for Pre-OP and pricing. There were no surprises or missteps. On the day of the surgery, Dr T decided to eliminate a small procedure on my lower eyelids, because he didn't believe it was really necessary. I was a little shocked and at the same time, pleased that once it came down to Performance Time; he was making his best professional and clinical decisions. He refunded that portion. This Dr is about delivering beautiful results. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. My friends just think I look rested and when I show them the before; they are like WOW! What a difference! They didn't realize how much my eyelids sagged, how angry my brow lines were and the wrinkles in my forehead. During the recovery process; Michelle was such a sweetheart. We were laughing because she woke me up from a great dream. All along the way, April was there to answer my questions via phone calls and email. And, i even had a question for Dr T and he responded via cell text. They never made me feel unimportant or complaining. They were professional and concerned as well as excited for me. Great support regarding any fears too! Read his website; every word chosen is a deliberate reflection of his philosophy and beliefs. As for the other two doctors I intereviewed; I left the office of the OC doc after 5 minutes because he came in not wearing a mask during Covid! I knew we were not a match. The other doctor was awesome, but kept insisting i needed a face lift vs some eye work. Dr Teitelbaum listened. (And, his staff always wears mask even though they have been vacciinated!) TRUST I feel more confident with and without makeup. I wake up and no longer look "haggard" in the morning. And, I feel like my self - vibrant, happy and no longer "angry" with those middle of the brow lines!!! Thank you for helping me gain my "bright" self back!

I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my breast lift and reduction. I am so much more comfortable every day. My bra strap is not pulling and leaving an indent on my shoulder anymore and my headaches have lessened since the surgery. Dr. Teitelbaum is a true artist and a compassionate doctor. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. His expertise and the care of his entire team were exceptional. I highly recommend Dr. Teitelbaum to anyone looking for a great surgeon.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Teitelbaum, his staff, and the anesthesia team. I fly from NC to LA for my surgical procedures. I have never had anything other than a perfect outcome and experience. He is a skilled surgeon, well spoken, trustworthy, and polished individual. As a doctor myself, I can’t imagine finding a better plastic surgeon. Great work Doc!
I have had breast augmentation, submandibular lipo, and abdominal lipo with him creating “my ideal body”.

If you're considering this, I can't recommend him enough!

The surgery went flawlessly and fixed the issue I had due to scar tissue build up. Dr Teitlebaum is just the best. I was able to get back to Texas and open my business 3 days after surgery which I know wouldn't have been possible with anyone else.

I felt so cared for and looked after. Everyone is so kind in Dr. T's office.

Excellent results

[Single best thing is...] The results boosted my confidence and comfort.

My breasts are a beautiful shape and look good. [Single best thing is...] Having the weight of my breasts removed and less mid-back pain.

All my concerns were addressed and answered

Really loved the doctor and staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable!

The whole experience from start to finish . Highly professional . Explained the options and outcome very clearly . I felt very safe and confident in my choice of surgeon [Single best thing is...] The result . It’s was everything I had hoped for .

I knew the doctor has specific experience in this surgery, and I had had a friend who had undergone the same with him and was very pleased. I also have known the doctor for many years, as we both grew up in LA.

He let me know that the initial procedure I wanted would give me adverse effects and showed me a better alternative. He really cares for the health and overall wellbeing of his clients

Everyone in the office is very knowledgable and helpful in answering questions. Dr. Titelbaum heard what I am looking for and took his time with our consultation.

The office staff was always available and I never felt like o was just a number. Working with Vicki was one of the best experiences.

I am really happy that I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Teitelbaum. It wasn't really that painful and I'm happy with the outcome. It went as well as it possibly could.

Breast augmentation all the way back in 2004, and I could not be happier with it. Dr. Teitelbaum's work looks beautiful and natural. The whole staff was both approachable and professional. Most amazingly, I had almost no pain (still not sure how he accomplished that!) This was a...

How do you describe in a few short sentences a truly remarkable experience with a creative genius? My encounter with Dr Teitelbaum came through a "google" search from my dear sweet mom. What can I say other than the old adage stands true still today..."Mother knows best". Upon meeting Dr Teitelbaum, in the first few minutes there was no doubt in my mind that he was my doctor. A brilliantly skilled artist and fabulous educator, Dr Teitelbaum is in one word brilliant. I scheduled a consult for a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. After careful examination, Dr Teitelbaum not only told me my breasts were "about the prettiest he had ever seen", he recommended that I not have them done. On my petite frame, he could not see the benefit of "slightly bigger" at risk of affecting their shape. On the other hand, Dr Teitelbaum said I would benefit from a rhinoplasty. I loved the way he spoke about my nose. He said "your nose belongs on someone else's face." (Such a classy way to insinuate that really there are no bad noses, just that some noses do not match a certain face). I am so thankful for his honesty and genuine position. From that day of consultation to surgery completion, every detail was class act. After a one and a half hour surgery, and one hour recovery, I spent the evening in quiet celebration at Dr Teitelbaum's restaurant recommendation, Milo and Olive. (Did I mention that I was supposed to take it easy? I must have missed that on the post op "take home worksheet".) It was too beautiful of a night to not take that 1 mile walk to dine at such a fabulous establishment...thanks Dr T for a beautiful nose, fabulous experience, and now a new favorite eatery. Cheers to a great team!

I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. T about 6 weeks ago and am thrilled with how well everything went. I was flying in from out of town for the surgery and so my consult was over the phone. The first time I met Dr. T was the day before my surgery but I had done my research and was comfortable with my decision. Everyone at the office that I dealt with was great. Vicki and Audrey were very patient with me as I had many questions and they were always quick to get back to me. Dr. T was so knowledgable and had a great sense of humor; I knew I would be in good hands. The procedure and recovery were very fast. The morning of the surgery I was back at my hotel shortly after 10am, napped for a couple hours as instructed, then was up for the rest of the day. I did experience some nerve pain in my breasts beginning several days after the surgery which lasted for about 3 weeks, but it has since totally subsided and was told this wasn't anything to worry about. I was worried that I would not be able to work out like I did before the surgery, as I am very active. For the first 3 weeks after surgery I didn't exercise, but then slowly began to again. Now I have been running, cycling, doing barbell presses and using heavy kettlebells again with no issues. I couldn't believe it! I'm so happy that I did this for myself and really can't think of anything I would have changed in the whole process. A big thank-you to Dr. Teitelbaum!

Dr. Teitelbaum is a master at his skill. I had several consultations with other surgeons and immediately I knew he was the perfect surgeon for me. His bedside manner, knowledge and experience gave me all the confidence I needed that I was in the best hands. As a surgeon myself I was incredibly impressed by the seamless process of the entire surgery including my excellent post surgical results. I am one year out from my surgery and my results are outstanding thanks to the masterful work of Dr. Teitelbaum.

Dr. Teitelbaum is the BEST surgeon you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. I was 17 and struggling with having a severe deformity in my breasts. I was incredibly insecure from years of being bullied for my deformity. I went to see one surgeon before Dr. T, he looked at me and told me I had the worst breast’s he’s ever seen and that I am not fixable. I was devastated, somehow I was giving the opportunity to meet with Dr. T and he made me feel so confident and comfortable with who I was before he even operated. He changed my life in two surgeries when other surgeons said to do it in 4 or 6 etc. Dr. T and his team are truly amazing, they are the kindest and most endearing people you will ever meet. It’s been 4 years and I just got married, to this day I am still in contact with Dr. T and his team showing them pictures of me in my dress and thanking them for all their hard work (trust me it wasn’t easy work). I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for Dr. T and his wonderful team.

I had a facelift with upper and lower eyelids done four weeks ago by Dr. Teitelbaum. I must say the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The support from his nursing staff was so helpful and comforting. They were always available for questions. Dr. Moorman the anesthesiologist did such an amazing job. I was awake and I was ready to be discharged out of recovery in 40 minutes. My result looks so natural I am thrilled with the way it looks!! Who says you can’t go back in time! Recovery went so smoothly very little discomfort, I only took three pain pills. I truly did not need more. I was merely the canvas for Dr. Teitelbaum‘s fine surgical skills and aesthetic artistry.

I flew from North Carolina to have Dr. Teitelbaum as my cosmetic surgeon. Initially, I was impressed with his reviews, website/surgical outcomes, and friendliness during the surgical consultation. I had two procedures performed today, and I couldn’t have been more impressed by the staff (reception, billing, coordinating, nurse), the anesthesiologist (also highly praise) and of course Dr. Tietelbaum. No one in this facility was trying to sell or tack on additional procedures, had your best interest at heart, and were very comforting. I can’t think of a single thing that made me feel uncomfortable or not taken care of. I highly praise this business, his and his staff’s attention to detail, and the overall feeling of genuine calmness/care I received. Although, 2400 miles away, I would not change my decision, and highly recommend! Outstanding experience.

Amazing experience start to finish! I was referred to Dr. Teitelbaum by a friend who saw him for a procedure over 5 years ago. Her results looked so natural and customized to her body type, exactly what I was looking for. I live in Austin and was hesitant about traveling out of state for procedure at first. Our initial consult was done virtually, Dr. Teitelbaum was great with answering all of my questions and addressing concerns he also did 3D imaging to show exactly what I could expect results to look like. We flew out to California a few days before procedure for my pre op appointment. We were greeted by Maria at the front desk who was extremely pleasant and friendly, after seeing her interact with other staff members it was obvious there was strong sense of community. We spoke with Ashley Ohls, the head of nursing and Dr. Teitelbaum during visit. They both made me feel so comfortable and confident going into surgery. Ashley guided me through the entire process before, during and after procedure , she even put together list of restaurant recommendations for us to check out while we were in town. Post op couldn’t have gone better, there was no pain, no bruising and minimal swelling. I was able to go out to dinner and do a bit of site seeing less than 24 hours after procedure and didn’t need anything aside from Ibuprofen to assist recovery days following! Most importantly, my results are even better than I imagined! If you want amazing natural results and quick recovery this is where you need to go. I’m SO happy I went with Dr. Teitelbaum and his staff for my procedure! Worth every penny! Highly recommend!

Dr. Teitelbaum listened to my concerns and had a good recommendation for me. He recommended a reduction plus some liposuction near the armpit.

I felt that they all went above and beyond in their communication with me. I especially appreciated Marla's warmth and kindness! Dr. Teitelbaum was very warm, extremely informative and spent a great deal of time with me in consult. He gave me an incredible sense of confidence and comfort in his hands. Due to the Palisades fire, I was displaced to Miami a few weeks after. Once there I developed a problem and as soon as I contacted Dr. Teitelbaum, he went immediately into action and contacted a local surgeon he knew and I was taken cared of like royalty. I am so grateful as he has been available by phone my entire recuperation. As promised by Dr. T., the results are quite pretty and I am very, very happy and appreciative!! Thank you!!

After two procedures with Dr. T, there is no other plastic surgeon I would recommend in the United States. I've never walked into the office with a photo or inspo-pic because his expertise and tenure attest to his ability to personalize every procedure based on every individual's unique structures. Indeed, each procedure is a masterpiece; he has the capability to mold your best features with whatever desired result you're looking to achieve. It's truly an art form that Dr. T has perfected. Everything from the consultation to pre-op and post-op appointments are excellent. His staff is attentive to detail, kind, and patient. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would because Dr. T's practice is impeccable. Happy is an understatement for how I feel about my results.

Dr. Teitelbaum and all of his staff are absolutely amazing. I had a breast augmentation just over a year ago and I am obsessed with my results.. I couldn't be happier!! The whole staff was so nice and accommodating from start to finish. They really put all of my anxiety at ease such as having to go under anesthesia to choosing the right size implant for my body to flying back and forth because I came from out of state. They made the whole process from scheduling my consultation to surgery day very easy for me. Dr. Teitelbaum took all my concerns seriously as well as his staff. I feel like they all genuinely cared about me getting the results I wanted and they absolutely delivered.. From a seamless procedure to getting back to work within a couple days. My confidence has sky rocketed...If I ever have any future work done I will definitely come back to Dr. Teitelbaum because he has changed my life for the better!!

I am 2 months post-op from a revision abdominoplasty and I could not be more pleased. I have many years of experience in the plastic surgery field and I did my research before traveling to meet with Dr. Teitelbaum. From the initial consultation I found him to be nice, funny, but most importantly he is very smart and keenly observant. He asked many questions during the examination focusing on what bothered me and determining the right surgery for my particular situation. He gave me an honest assessment of what he thought he could achieve with revision surgery. Dr. Teitelbaum's team is top notch, each and every one of them. I know I am still recovering but I am confident I chose the right plastic surgeon to care for me. I could not give a higher endorsement for Dr. Teitelbaum and recommend him without reservation.

Treating Excess Skin After GLP-1 Weight Loss

Often, patients who have achieved significant weight loss after GLP-1 treatments experience loose or sagging skin and deflation in areas like the abdomen, arms, and breasts. Excess skin removal is the best way to address these changes to your proportions, allowing Dr. Teitelbaum to bring your body back into balance after treatment. He’ll customize your surgical plan to address the weight-loss patterns and tissue changes unique to GLP-1 medications.

Completing Your Transformation

Many patients undergo surgery after weight loss as the first step in an overarching body rejuvenation plan. Complementary body contouring procedures include the following:

  • Liposuction
  • Tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck
  • Breast lift
  • Breast reduction
  • Thigh lift

Surgery After Weight Loss FAQs

Will surgery after weight loss remove my stretch marks?

No. Only stretch marks on excess skin will be removed. Skin tightening can help reduce the appearance of your remaining stretch marks, but it will not fully erase them.

Can multiple areas be treated in the same surgical session?

Yes, but this will depend on your health and the extent of your surgery. Dr. Teitelbaum puts your safety first and will never recommend overly aggressive or intense surgical plans.

How soon after weight loss should I consider surgery?

It’s best to wait until you’ve been at a stable, healthy weight for several months before pursuing excess skin removal. There is no set timeline, so a thorough consultation with Dr. Teitelbaum will help determine if you’re ready for surgery.

Will my results be permanent?

The results of your surgery after weight loss in Los Angeles are designed to be permanent, but future weight fluctuations can affect your outcomes. Maintaining a stable weight, a healthy diet, and an exercise regimen will help extend the longevity of your results.
