Overview
Serving the Frisco, Plano, Allen, & McKinney, TX area, plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Najera, is a body contouring specialist and offers tailored cosmetic procedures for weight loss patients. Individuals who lose a large amount of weight are usually thrilled with their achievements, but disappointed because they are often left with loose and hanging skin. After weight loss surgery can help these patients complete their transformation. Using a combination of skin removal, skin tightening and liposuction techniques, the upper and lower body can be transformed and tightened so that hanging skin, excess wrinkles, and other skin deformities can be removed. It is especially common for patients who have lost around 100 pounds or more, whether it is from natural or bariatric weight loss.
The Consultation
During the initial consultation, Dr. Najera will sit with the patient and discuss the areas of primary concern. For most patients, loose skin tends to be a problem under the arms, around the abdomen, under the buttock, and surrounding the thigh area. Many women will choose to have a tummy tuck and breast lift, as these are both common areas were sag tends to take place. A customized treatment plan will be provided, which may combine various procedures that are spaced out over a specified period of time.
Conditions Treated
There are numerous conditions that can result following a significant weight loss. Surgery can help correct the following cosmetic concerns:
- Sagging, deflated breasts
- Loose and sagging skin on the abdomen
- Pockets of fat and hanging skin on the hips and flanks
- Wrinkles and sagging skin under the buttocks
- Loose and saggy skin on the inner and outer thigh and near the knees
- Hanging skin on the underside of the arm, commonly referred to as “bat wings”
Najera Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Reviews
I underwent a LBL, liposuction 360, and breast implant exchange procedure with Dr. Najera, and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes. There are moments when I find myself doing a double-take because I'm amazed that this is my own body. My scars and belly button look flawless, which was my main worry, and Dr. Najera surpassed all my expectations. If you're contemplating surgery, I highly recommend it! Choosing Dr. Najera was truly the best decision I made, and I am grateful for the dream body he has given me.
I've waited a full year to review Dr. Najera because I wanted to wait until my results were final. My tush was SO flat I had to have TWO BBLs (fat transfer and a lift). This picture doesn't even do it justice. This man is a miracle worker...not even exaggerating. I wish I could give him 100 stars. And his staff is JUST as wonderful. The Before/During/After pics were taken Before (before surgery) During (after my first but before my last at the midway point) Last (after both surgeries). On the contrary - as small as my butt was, my breasts were enormous - just awful. Had a reduction and lift. Should've done that DECADES ago. Could not be happier. Best thing I have ever done for myself! If you need a miracle worker with results that look natural - Dr. Najera is who you should go see. I'm walking proof that he is skilled beyond belief!
10/10 felt safe every step of the way!
I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Najera. From the initial consultation, surgery, and postoperative follow ups. Dr. Najera will listen to your concerns and make recommendations. He is always willing to answer all your questions. Staff is very kind, professional and always greets me with a smile. Surgery staff is great as well. It was my first surgery my OR nurse explained everything very well. I’m very happy with my results. Also would like to thank Polly who helped me throughout this journey she is awesome.
Dr. Najera, very patient and very detailed with explaining things.

Combination Surgeries
It is common for weight loss patients to combine surgeries so that both the upper and lower portion of the body can be addressed. The goal is to reduce the amount of loose skin that hangs on the body and to lift the body part, so it appears tighter. Common surgical groupings include:
- Upper body (Liposuction, breast lift, tummy tuck, arm lift)
- Lower body (Liposuction, butt lift, thigh lift, lower body lift)
During/After Surgery
After weight loss surgery is performed in an accredited surgical center under general anesthesia. Depending on the surgical case, an overnight stay may be required. The recovery following this surgery can be a slow process due to the number of incisions that must be made to remove the skin deformities. Every attempt is made during surgery to minimize scarring as much as possible. After weight loss surgery typically takes 6-8 full months for the final results to appear.
Expected Cost
After weight loss surgery can cost between $8,500-$11,500, or higher. This cost varies greatly depending on how many procedures are performed and if they are completed in one setting or multiple sessions.
