Body contouring following major
weight loss improves the shape and tone of your underlying tissue
that supports fat and skin and removes excess sagging fat and
skin. It may include body, breast, arm and/or thigh lifts.
Body lifts are intended to shape and
tone the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. It can be used to treat
excess skin, sagging fatty tissue or help get your pre-pregnancy
body back.
Arm Lift (brachioplasty).
An arm lift removes excess fat through
liposuction. The excess skin is trimmed away, pulled together
and sutured in place. A compression garment may be
required for several weeks after surgery.
Inner Thigh Lift (medial
thighplasty). Excess fat and hanging
skin is removed from the upper, inner thigh through an incision
placed at the junction of the thigh with the groin. The excess
skin is trimmed away, pulled together and sutured in place.
A compression garment may be required for several weeks after
surgery.
