Your Options
When you've worked hard to lose a significant amount of weight, you deserve to feel good about the way you look. If you're like many men and women, this means reducing unsightly excess skin for a smoother, firmer appearance. To accomplish this, Dr. Lentz performs body lift surgery. He customizes each of the following procedures for your unique anatomy and goals:
- Arm lift surgery sculpts and tightens the upper arms by removing loose skin and isolated areas of fat through incisions that run from the armpits to the elbows. Dr. Lentz takes care to hide the incisions, which fade over time, along the back of the inner arms.
- Buttock and thigh lifts sculpt the inner thighs, outer thighs, buttocks, or a combination of these areas. These procedures can give you firm thighs and buttocks by removing excess skin and fat. Incisions are concealed as much as possible in natural creases and areas covered by clothing.
Dr. Lentz usually uses liposuction to refine the appearance of the tightened areas during an arm lift or thigh-buttock lift. During your consultation, he will ask you about your areas of concern and help you determine which combination of procedures will best help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
What to Expect
Dr. Lentz performs body lift procedures as an outpatient surgery in an AAAASF-certified operating room with the patient under general anesthesia. The duration of the procedure depends on the size and number of areas being improved.
After surgery, you can expect to return to light activities within about 2 weeks and resume your normal routine, including exercise, within about 1 month.
Your Improved Look
Arm lift and thigh-buttock lift surgery can give you the firm, fit look you have worked to hard to attain with weight loss. With this potentially life-changing surgery, many patients gain the confidence to wear a greater variety of clothing options and can fully appreciate the improvements from their weight loss.
