Skin Laxity and Body Sculpting
When addressing issues related to skin laxity, we need to tailor each surgery to the needs of each patient. While the same sorts of aesthetic issues recur, they don’t always occur in the same fashion from patient to patient. During your full examination and consultation with a plastic surgeon in Gainesville, all of your options will be discussed in full, and a custom treatment plan will be devised just for you and your needs. Below are some of the most common ways that we can improve your appearance through surgical skin tightening.
Surgeries to Improve the Appearance of the Abdominal Area
Obviously the abdominal area is greatly affected by weight gain and weight loss. In order to reduce sagging skin around the abdominal area, Gainesville tummy tuck is a great option to consider. This will remove excess skin from the lower abdomen and even the sides. This surgery is always performed as part of our body contouring treatments for major weight loss.
Surgeries to Improve the Appearance of the Chest Area
The chest and breasts can sag when you lose a lot of weight. In order to address this matter, there is breast lift and reduction surgery. The breast lift can make your breasts look perkier and firmer, while the reduction can improve the overall proportion of your figure. (Male breast reduction can also be performed to improve chest appearance after weight loss.) It’s not uncommon for breast lift surgery to be combined with breast augmentation surgery, which means a comprehensive size and contour revision.
Surgeries to Improve the Appearance of the Extremities
The arms and legs can both be affected by weight gain and weight loss. This is especially true of the thighs and the upper arm area. There are surgeries to address these areas. The thigh lift, for example, can make your legs look taut and sleek again, whereas the arm lift can give you the tone and trim arms that you have always wanted or used to have.
Surgeries to Improve the Appearance of the Face
The face can also be subject to changes in contour due to weight gain and weight loss. Many people who undergo skin tightening surgeries will wind up getting a facelift or neck lift in order to reduce sagging or drooping of the skin. The use of facial rejuvenation surgery may be the last step in the overall body contouring treatment.
