Surgery after Weight Loss

Following weight reduction surgery, or any substantial amount of weight loss, the skin and tissues often lack elasticity and cannot conform to the reduced body size. As a result, skin that has been severely stretched now is unsupported:

Facial skin may loosen in the cheeks and/or neck => Face/Neck Lift (Rhytidectomy)

Upper arms may sag and appear loose and full => Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Breasts may flatten and hang with nipples pointed downward => Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Abdominal area may extend around the sides and into the lower back area, resulting in an apron-like overhang => “Tummy Tuck” (Abdominoplasty)

Buttocks, groin and thighs can sag and cause hanging pockets of skin => Buttock or Brazilian Gluteal Lift

Inner thighs may sag, creating skin irritation => Medial Thigh Lift
