After significant weight loss, many people find that their body still doesn’t reflect the changes they’ve worked hard to make. Loose skin, stubborn areas of volume, or uneven contours can remain, even when you’re healthy, strong, and at your goal weight.
Dr. Jacqueline Rose Makerewich offers surgical options to help restore balance, smoothness, and comfort after weight loss. Her approach is conservative, scar-aware, and always led by your goals. She works closely with each patient to develop a plan that honors the body you’ve earned, without rushing or overcorrecting.
There’s no push to “perfect” anything—only to help your outside feel more in sync with your sense of self.
This type of surgery is designed to remove excess skin and reshape areas of the body after major weight loss, whether through lifestyle changes or bariatric surgery. The focus is on restoring comfort, function, and proportion, rather than achieving a single body type.
Commonly combined procedures may include:
Dr. Rose will help you prioritize the areas that matter most and design a plan that fits your life and goals.
Depending on your needs, surgery may focus on a single area or be performed in stages. All procedures are done under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility.

Support includes:
You’ll notice physical changes immediately, with final results taking shape over several months as swelling fades and scars heal. Most patients experience long-term satisfaction with their appearance and daily comfort, especially when changes are maintained with a stable weight and healthy routine.
Dr. Rose approaches each body with respect and realism. She doesn’t promote a single idea of beauty. Instead, she helps patients find their own sense of balance after major transformation. Her post-operative care is detailed, thoughtful, and tailored to promote scar awareness and healing support.
She takes time to understand not just the procedure—but the person—and guides each step with empathy and precision.
