Body Contouring
There are numerous health and aesthetic benefits to achieving dramatic weight loss. However, your skin and tissue may lose elasticity following significant weight loss. The skin is sometimes unable to conform to the newly reduced body size.
Surgical body contouring following weight loss can be useful in removing excess sagging fat and skin. It improves the shape of underlying supporting tissues at the same time. The result is smoother contours with better proportioned appearance.
Body contouring cosmetic surgery procedures performed by Dr. Gary Motykie may include:
- Arm lift: correction of sagging upper arms
- Breast lift: correction of flattened and sagging breasts
- Lower body lift: correction of sagging buttocks, abdomen, and thighs
- Medial thigh lift: correction of sagging inner thigh
- Tummy tuck: correction of excess skin hanging over the abdomen
- Buttock lift: restoring a shapelier and rounder rear end
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides body contouring surgery to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.
Types of Incisions
There are large incisions involved in all body contouring procedures for removing excess skin. These incisions can be extensive in many cases. The pattern and length of incisions depends on the location and amount of excess skin that requires removal. It also depends on surgical judgment and personal preference.
Dr. Motykie uses advanced techniques for placing the incisions in strategic locations. This allows the incisions to be hidden by regular clothing. It can take 1 – 2 years for the results of your body contouring plastic surgery procedure to be complete.
Types of Body Contouring Procedures
Body lift
This treats the abdomen, sagging buttocks, hips, waist, and outer thighs in the same procedure. Incision patterns differ depending on the surgeon and the patient. Dr. Gary Motykie can make a circumferential incision around the lower body for removing the belt of excess fat and skin.
Breast lift
The incision pattern in breast lift depends on the amount of excess skin that requires removing. It may include one or more incisions made in a circular pattern around the areola. In some cases, Dr. Motykie may choose to make a horizontal incision along the breast crease or a line extending to the breast crease from the areola. Breast implants may be recommended for enhancing the shape and size of breasts.
Arm lift
Your surgeon may make an incision from the underarm all the way to the back or inside of the upper arm to treat sagging skin of the upper arms. In case of multiple areas of excess skin, additional incisions may be required.
Thigh lift
Incision made in the groin can be used for reshaping the inner thighs. The incision would extend to the knee along the inner thigh. Dr. Motykie may need to make an incision extending from the groin to the hip for improving outer thigh contours.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Excess fat from other body parts is transferred to the buttocks to increase their size. Ideal candidates should have enough fatty deposits for performing the procedure. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for body contouring surgery.
