Patients who have lost significant amounts of weight from diet or exercise or secondary to surgical intervention often seek cosmetic surgery to recontour their body. A lower body lift or “belt lipectomy” can restore the abdomen and buttocks to a more youthful form. Thigh lifts and arm lifts help improve and remove unwanted skin in these areas.
Massive-weight loss patients frequently require a combination of procedures and a staged approach to their care. As a talented abdominoplasty and body contouring surgeon, Dr. Greenwald is able to provide comprehensive care for all patients. Often times a lower body lift is followed several months later with a medial thigh lift. Many post-bariatric body contouring procedures can safely be performed on an out-patient basis; however, larger procedures are often performed in the hospital (White Plains Hospital, Northern Fairfield Hospital) after obtaining medical clearance from your primary doctor.
Techniques in Post-Bariatric Surgery Body Contouring are evolving. Dr. Greenwald routinely performs body lifts, thigh lifts, buttock lifts and arm lifts.
