Enhancing Body Contours with Surgery

Losing over 100 pounds is truly a tremendous accomplishment. However, the journey doesn’t always end there. Rapid weight loss often leaves behind excess, sagging skin that hinders the realization of one’s desired body shape. This issue often manifests on the abdomen, neck, upper arms, thighs, buttocks, and breasts, creating discomfort and self-esteem concerns. Dr. Scottsdale® understands this challenge and wants to help individuals conclude their transformative journey through after weight loss surgeries. He offers a comprehensive range of procedures to remove excess skin, sculpt, and contour the body, ensuring that the results align with each patient’s vision. Here are a few that specifically target after-weight loss challenges.

Lower Body Lift

Also known as a belt lipectomy, is a comprehensive treatment aimed at enhancing the appearance of the lower body. It involves a combination of tummy tuck and butt lift procedures, with an incision encircling the lower torso. This surgery effectively removes loose, saggy skin, tightens the remaining skin with sutures, and results in a tighter, smoother body.

Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck

Differs from a standard tummy tuck by involving a more extensive incision and the removal of a substantial amount of excess skin. This technique, featuring an inverted “T” incision, effectively addresses excess skin and also includes the repair of muscle and diastasis recti concerns.

Panniculectomy

This procedure is designed to remove hanging excess skin over the genitalia or thighs. It involves two incisions above the pubic area, across the hip bone, and focuses on removing excess fat and tissue for improved contours, without addressing abdominal muscle repair.

Bra Roll

This procedure targets excess fat and skin along the bra line, enhancing the natural contours of the back with an incision across the entire back. The goal is to give the patient a smoother back.
