Congratulations on taking back control of your body and your life! Massive weight loss is a massive accomplishment. Often, however, there are skin excesses and physical distortions that remain. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Goldberg, has specific training and experience in body contouring procedures for the massive weight loss patients. Common procedures include: arm lift, breast lift, thigh lift, neck lift, and facelift. Typically these are staged in order of importance to the patient.
Also known as belt lipectomy, body lift surgery is an extensive surgical procedure that reshapes the midsection after massive weight loss. The procedure is often combined with reshaping of the inner/outer thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. A body lift is common for patients who have experienced massive weight loss or gastric bypass weight loss procedures. The surgery is conducted to remove excess skin that causes cosmetic and functional problems for the patient.
