Before and After Photos
Surgical body contouring following major weight loss removes excess sagging fat and skin while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue. The result is a more normal appearance with smoother contours.
Body contouring procedures may include:
-
- Facelift: sagging of the mid-face, jowls, and neck
- Breast lift: sagging, flattened breasts
- Tummy tuck: apron of excess skin hanging over the abdomen
This is more commonly called a Panniculectomy.
The location of the scar in a Panniculectomy is usually higher than a Tummy Tuck. Only the skin is removed, making it a faster operation and faster recovery. It is best to wait until weight loss is stable before performing these procedures.
- Lower body lifts: sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, groin and outer thighs
- Medial thigh lift: sagging of the inner, outer and mid thigh
- Brachioplasty (arm lift): sagging of the upper arms
