Surgery after Massive Weight Loss: Enrichment in Life

Home » Body » Surgery after Massive Weightloss

Plastic surgery following massive weight loss allows people with excess fat, tissue and skin to achieve refined body contours through a buttock lift, inner thigh lift, arm lift or a complete body lift. Most people interested in body lift procedures fall into the following categories.

  • Aging
  • History of Obesity
  • Developmental Abnormalities
Body Lift Procedures

Dr. Hardesty and Dr. Bennett use both plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery techniques to create contours that fit and naturally shape the body, as follows:

  • Buttock Lift: The buttock lift may remove excess skin pockets, reduce fat pockets through liposuction as well as reshape and tone tissue layers under the skin. The results are immediate, redefine the form of the buttocks and last for many years.
  • Inner Thigh Lift: The inner thigh lift removes saggy areas of skin on the inner thigh. Fat pockets may be removed through liposuction as well. The results are visible following surgery and last for several years.
  • Arm Lift: The arm lift procedure removes flabby, overhanging skin through excision. The arm lift may also include liposuction to remove excess fat.
  • Body Lift: The body lift procedure may use liposuction to remove excess fat in the hips, flank, abdomen, waist, outer thighs and buttocks. This procedure also removes skin and tissue that is lax and cannot conform to the body. A treatment plan for a body lift may involve two or more surgical procedures over the course of time to achieve the highest satisfaction level. The results of each procedure are immediate and often last for many years.
Body Lift Recovery

The length of time for recovery from body contouring procedures depends upon the extent of the surgery. For example, people undergoing small volume liposuction usually only require a couple of days rest before returning to normal daily activities. Large volume liposuction patients require more rest. In some cases, two surgeries are performed at the same time which may make the recovery longer. Usually, by 6 weeks, there are no restrictions to returning to full exercise. In other cases, the procedures are staged over time. In the end, patients are generally content and satisfied with the results of their procedure. The body lift has been known to improve mobility, enhance day-to-day activities and relieve skin conditions that are associated with excess skin and tissue.
