Arm/Thigh Lift procedures for massive weight loss patients

With weight change comes a reduction of the support structures of the skin. The skin loses its elastin and becomes stretched beyond its capacity to contract to its original shape after massive weight loss. Both the arms and inner thighs are affected by this process, making it difficult for surgical weight loss patients to wear the clothes they want to wear such as short sleeve shirts and bathing suits. Contouring the arms and thighs helps patients enjoy more activities and restores a sense of normalcy to everyday life. Arm lift (brachioplasty) or thigh lift can often be done as a day surgery, and recovery is generally not prolonged.

Dr. Saretsky understands that each patient who has been successful in losing massive amounts of weight has individual needs. He works toward helping each patient improve self esteem and attain a positive body image. Specific areas that Dr. Saretsky can address include abdomen and back, buttocks, arms, thighs, breast, face and neck. Procedures for these areas can be combined or staged in a logical sequence to bring about optimal results. These areas would be addressed with the following procedures:
