Body Contouring

Many people who have achieved great weight loss can be left with large amounts of heavy, loose folds of skin around the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, buttocks and face. After significant weight loss, the skin often fails to shrink back to its former size and shape. Body contouring following major weight loss improves the shape and tone of your underlying tissue that supports fat and skin and removes excess sagging fat and skin. It may include body, breast, arm, and/or thigh lifts. Excess skin can make getting dressed a chore, limit mobility, and cause hygiene and medical problems. Chronic skin-on-skin contact can result in rashes and other sores that can lead to infection. In addition, excess skin can be a cosmetic issue since you want your body to reflect the the new, more positive image you have of yourself.

If you have lost major weight after surgery and you are considering body contouring or a body lift, schedule an appointment with Dr. S.Y. Ghodsian to discuss the pros and cons of this operation and your risks of having this procedure. If this surgery is right for you then you will be referred to a surgeon who specializes in this technique. The surgeons that Dr. S.Y. Ghodsian would recommend have the most respected credentials and the best reputations in the field of plastic surgery. After your surgery, you can rest assured that Dr. S.Y. Ghodsian will keep your weight loss and health on track for many years to come and will prevent you from gaining weight back.
