Enhance Your Weight Loss Journey:
A Guide to
Post Bariatric Surgery

Lower body lift surgery is the most common follow-up procedure for our patients who have completed weight loss surgery. During a body lift procedure, a large section of excess skin is removed from the midsection (front and back) by creating two parallel incisions, like a belt, around the abdomen and above the buttocks.

Sagging skin under your arms, between the armpit and elbow, can be removed during an arm lift procedure, also known as brachioplasty. There is no way to completely prevent visible scars during arm lift surgery, though our highly-skilled surgeons use the most advanced techniques to reduce scarring. Over time scars will lighten and become less noticeable. 

A breast lift, or mastopexy surgery, creates a firmer, natural-looking breast silhouette while rejuvenating your body confidence and self-esteem. Using the most advanced techniques to minimize visible scarring, our expert surgeons will raise and reshape your breasts, removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to support your new breast contour. 

Thigh lift surgery is the standard approach to tightening loose skin on the upper legs following weight loss surgery. An outer thigh lift involves creating a curved back-to-front incision at the top of the thigh, and a medial thigh lift involves a smaller incision along the groin. Both methods allow our skilled surgeons to carefully reshape the contour of your thighs and upper leg and remove excess skin. 

Sagging skin around your face and neck can be especially troubling if you have undergone successful weight loss surgery. While other areas of the body can be hidden with clothing, a "droopy" face or "turkey neck" can substantially impact your body image and self-esteem. Facelift surgery can resolve sagging face and neck skin through careful incisions along the hairline and around the ear. After removing excess skin and tissue, we can also reshape and contour underlying tissue to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
