After significant weight loss, the body may have nutritional gaps that most patients do not know about. These gaps build up quietly over time. They come from: By the time a patient comes to see me about abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery, those gaps are almost always present in some form.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery after major weight loss is more variable than post‑pregnancy abdominoplasty. In patients following significant or massive weight loss, the primary issue is excess skin rather than muscle tightening. After substantial weight loss, reduced skin elasticity and stretched abdominal skin mean the tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is primarily
A pubic lift, also known as monsplasty or mons pubis reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to reduce excess fat and excess skin in the mons pubis. The mons pubis is the fatty pad of tissue that sits over the pubic bone and forms part of the lower abdomen
Dual vector abdominoplasty is an advanced form of abdominoplasty surgery designed for patients who have experienced significant weight loss. It combines principles of the Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty with an additional upper abdominal skin excision, allowing excess skin to be addressed in multiple directions, including the upper abdomen and lower chest region.
Recovery after a dual vector abdominoplasty is a structured and closely supervised process. While it shares many similarities with recovery after a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, there are additional considerations due to the upper abdominal incision that forms part of this operation. In my practice, recovery is approached in a practical, step‑by‑step
Upper back lipectomy, sometimes called a bra lift or bra line back lift, is a specialised form of lipectomy surgery that targets the upper body, specifically the area along the bra line. It is often performed as part of a staged approach to body lift (lipectomy) procedures following significant weight
Lower torso operations after massive weight loss are a common part of body contouring surgery. These operations include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), extended abdominoplasty, Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, and circumferential lipectomy (belt lipectomy). For post bariatric patients, these operations can treat excess skin that remains after significant weight loss. This article provides an
