Surgery after massive weightloss
The most common procedures after weight loss are Abdominoplasty, breast lift, sometimes with implants, facelifts and arm lifts. Some of these procedures can be performed together to minimize the number of trips to the operating room. Frequently we have the patients recover in the hospital or recovery facility after surgery for a day or two as these procedures can be quite lengthy. They are however some of the most satisfying procedures that we do. Good luck

Common procedures after massive weight loss
Abdominoplasty is one of the most common procedures that patients request after massive weight loss. Continuing the incision around to the back to complete a body lift is also often required.

Weight loss and abdominoplasty
After a large weight loss the skin of the abdomen, breasts, and arms certainly becomes loose and droopy. A tummy tuck is a common procedure and perhaps one that is combined witha breast lift / augmentation at the same time is the most common procedure for my patients with weight loss. Some have the arm lift before and some after the tummy tuck.
