Many individuals who have lost a large amount of weight due to gastric bypass, weight reduction surgery, or just simply lost it on their own through diet and exercise may experience loose, sagging, excess skin around their arms, abdomen, thighs, hips and buttocks areas. It is not uncommon to feel “stress” once achieving your weight loss goals. Your body is going through the natural process of losing skin elasticity. Not to worry, there is hope and Dr Javaheri can help. Men and women with this condition may be ideal candidates for a: 1) Body Lift procedure 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. A Belt Lipectomy, also known as the lower body lift, offers the most dramatic transformation of the mid and lower body. It re-sculpts the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Body lift procedure is most commonly performed on post bariatric patients but no exclusively. This procedure transforms patients that have experienced massive weight loss and have excess skin. However, results are just as dramatic in patients who in addition to a tummy tuck want a tightening of the skin in their thighs and buttocks. 2) Thigh Lift procedure (Thighplasty): Thigh Lift is a procedure that reshapes the thighs by reducing the excess skin and fat that have been affected due to the weight loss process. The results: smoother skin and better-proportioned contour of the thighs. It frequently is combined with liposuction for an enhanced result. Loose and flabby skin in the thighs can cause quite a bit of discomfort if it rubs against your skin when walking. It is also common to develop rashes, skin irritation and hygiene problems that topical creams alone cannot address. You may find it difficult to find clothes that fit comfortably. Issues resulting from your hard work of losing weight can be discouraging to look in the mirror and see all of that loose, excess, flabby or dimpled skin around the thighs and buttocks.

4) Breast Lift procedure If you have ever stood in front of a mirror and wished that your breasts were firmer, higher and more youthful-looking, then breast lift surgery may be a good option for you.
