Body Lift
Patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, either from bariatric surgery, diet and exercise, or post-pregnancy, may have an abundance of loose, sagging skin on the body. The body lift procedure can tighten and contour underlying muscle and tissue and remove excess skin and fat. Areas may include the abs, buttocks, thighs, tummy, arms, or breasts. The procedure gives smoother body contours and a slimmed down appearance.
Liposuction
It may seem impossible to lose weight in certain areas of the body on your own. Liposuction is a safe procedure that involves the suctioning of fat through tiny incisions using a small vacuum-like device. Patients can generally resume normal activities after just several days and the results are exceptional. The procedure can be performed on the arms, tummy, buttocks, thighs, and neck.
Tummy Tuck
The tummy is one of the most difficult places to lose body fat. Many individuals have a constant battle with belly bulge. Fat is removed from the midsection of the body and any loose skin is tightened with the tummy tuck surgery. Many women choose to undergo a tummy tuck after pregnancy. Additionally, men and women who have lost significant weight but still have a belly pouch would benefit from the procedure.
Lower Body Lift
The lower body lift procedure is recommended for patients who have lost a lot of weight and have excessive loose, sagging skin. No matter how toned and tight the underlying muscles may be, the skin, once stretched out, often does not go back to its original position. Loose skin can be uncomfortable in addition to less than ideal in regard to aesthetics. The surgery is a finishing touch for patients who have lost the weight, and now want to tighten the skin on the lower part of the body.
Other Body Procedures
Drs. Gervais and Tholen perform a number of additional procedures to enhance the look of the body. Male breast reduction, arm lift, thigh lift, pec implants, calf implants, and more can help a person regain confidence in his or her appearance. Procedures are safe, and both doctors have a wealth of experience providing beautiful results.
