A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, tones your sagging abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and restoring separated or weakened muscles. Stretch marks may also be removed during this process. The procedure involves the creation of an incision from hipbone to hipbone, along with a secondary incision around the bellybutton in some cases.
After extreme weight loss, the breasts may be lacking in volume. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure through which Dr. Cohen increases the size and projection of the breasts, restoring volume and symmetry. During the procedure, small camouflaged incisions are made in the breast or armpit and then prosthetic breast implants are inserted.
Brachioplasty, or an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that improves the shape of the arms by removing excess skin and fat deposits from the upper arms. These issues are typical results of extreme weight loss. Brachioplasty involves the creation of an incision on the back or side of the arm; this incision stretches from the elbow to the armpit.
The thighs may have a great deal of excess drooping skin after extreme weight loss. A thigh lift reshapes sagging thighs by removing excess skin and fat, restoring firmness and smoothness. An incision may be made in one of many sites in the thigh region depending on the exact location of the excess skin and fat.
Sagging breasts are a common result of major weight loss. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a procedure through which excess skin is removed from your breasts, lifting them and restoring their perkiness and symmetry. The areolae may be resized and repositioned as needed to match the new appearance of the breasts.
A buttocks lift is performed to tone your buttocks by removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue. A buttocks lift will not add volume to the area but will instead refine and tone its appearance.
Losing a lot of weight can affect the look of the face and neck, creating loose skin that causes an unnatural appearance. Face and neck lift surgery can remove excess skin from these areas and lift underlying tissues.
