Post-Weight Loss Surgery by Dr. Rukmini Rednam

Refine, Reshape, and Reveal Your Hard-Earned Transformation

Losing significant weight is an incredible achievement, but excess skin can prevent you from fully enjoying your transformation. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rukmini (Vinaya) Rednam specializes in post-weight loss surgery to help reveal your hard work, serving both local and out-of-town patients. Using her personalized, compassionate approach, she tailors each procedure to help you feel more confident and completely at home in your skin.

Dr Rednam has been a such a strong, affirming influence in my life for the past few years. After significant weight loss, they tell you that there will be loose skin, but they don’t tell you about the psychological impacts of that. Dr Rednam has changed my life and let me live in a body that I love - I owe so much to her and her team for empowering me to live my life to my fullest. Her bedside manner is excellent, she has such a calming and compassionate presence. The work she does is brilliant. Thank you Dr Rednam!

"First, I can not believe it has been 4 months already since @dr.rednam removed 20 pounds of excess skin from my body. Time has flown.
Second, I am so grateful for Dr Rednam & the @poprecoverysystems team for guiding me through every step, beginning, middle, end to even now. Every question I had, some I should’ve had but didn’t, every thing answered, so much information & education, so many things I needed and never would’ve thought of..all of it was taken care of, I was taken care of, by the POP team and Dr Rednam.
Third I’m so so happy with my scars! They are so amazing, almost even non existent in some areas. That is attributed to Dr Rednam and how meticulous she is plus her use of @brijmedical.

This is a body I’ve only dreamt of but never thought possible. This is a body I’ve longed for but never thought I’d have but now this is me & my body. I love it so much."

What Patients Are Saying

Asa A.

Dr Rednam and her team were caring and professional. My surgery went smoothly and I’ve had minimal scarring. I would definitely recommend my Houston Surgeons.

Michelle W.

My experience with Dr Rednam was wonderful! I had a breast reconstruction and reduction done after being diagnosed with Breast Caner. She gave me lots of reassurance that everything was going to great. Her bedside manner was exceptional. She explained everything-what to expect and how long it would take for recovery. I feel and look great!I am also cancer free! She is great and I would recommend her to anyone!!!!!

Carla G.

There aren't enough words to say how spectacular Dr. Rednam and her team are. My first interaction was with Cheryl, Dr. Rednam's coordinator, and she was an absolute delight. She was able to work with my partner and I to quickly get us on the schedule for the initial consultation for top surgery. Amazingly, we were able to get the surgery on the books within a month of our consultation. Throughout the entire process, there has always been someone available for a call or text should we ever have questions. Dr. Rednam performed the surgery with spectacular results and without drains, and the healing process has been smooth sailing.

If you're looking for a doctor who sincerely cares about their trans clients, look no further! Dr. Rednam is THE BEST!

Pricing & Insurance

Because post-weight loss surgery is customized to each patient and some procedures are more complex than others, the cost can vary. However, Dr. Rednam will provide a personalized quote during your consultation and answer any questions about specific procedures and their costs.

Insurance Information

In general, post-weight loss surgery is considered an elective procedure and is typically not covered by insurance. That said, if you are experiencing medical concerns from excess skin, such as rashes and mobility concerns, your insurance may grant partial coverage. Our team is happy to assist you in navigating this process and providing any documentation you need to maximize insurance benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do to prepare for post-weight-loss surgery?

Preparation includes maintaining a stable weight for at least 3–6 months, stopping smoking, staying hydrated, and arranging for help during recovery. Dr. Rednam will provide personalized guidelines during your consultation.

Will I need more than one surgery to achieve my goals?

Depending on the areas you want to address and the extent of skin removal, some patients may require staged procedures to ensure safe and optimal results. Dr. Rednam will create a customized plan for your transformation.

How long will it take before I see the final results?

While you’ll notice improvements within weeks, full results typically appear after the swelling subsides and scars mature, which can take several months to a year.

What happens if I gain or lose weight after surgery?

Weight fluctuations can impact the results of post-weight-loss surgery. For long-lasting outcomes, it’s important to maintain a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise.

What types of scars should I expect with post-weight-loss surgery?

Scars depend on the procedure and the areas addressed. Dr. Rednam strategically places incisions in natural folds and lines to minimize visibility and offers scar care treatments to help them fade over time.

Are the results of weight loss surgery permanent?

Results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight. However, significant weight changes, aging, or pregnancy can alter the outcomes over time.

When can I return to exercise after post-weight-loss surgery?

Light activities may be resumed after a few weeks, but strenuous exercise should wait until Dr. Rednam clears you—usually around 6–8 weeks post-surgery. Gradually reintroducing physical activity is key to avoiding complications.
