Body lift procedures to improve excess skin and trim up sagging areas are not just for women. Men, especially those who’ve undergone significant weight loss, can improve their overall contour with various body lift procedures.
Tummy Tuck
Men looking to improve their abdomen area can undergo an abdominoplasty, also knowns as a tummy tuck. An abdominoplasty pulls the underlying muscles tighter, trimming and smoothing out any excess skin. Especially if you’ve lost weight, the abdominal muscles have been stretched and sometimes cannot return to their youthful shape. A tummy tuck repairs those muscles, giving you an overall trimmer appearance.
Chest Lift
A chest lift is a viable option for men who have gynecomastia or who’ve lost weight. If your chest muscles still make the appearance of a sagging chest, consider a chest lift for a firmer and more masculine chest appearance. In the case of a chest lift, liposuction may be enough to remove the excess fatty tissue. Significant alterations may require an incision to remove the excess skin and tighten the muscles.
Arm
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, trims up sagging skin under the arms due to weight loss and natural gravity effects of aging. Liposuction is used to remove deposits of fat. Your surgeon will sculpt these areas to match the natural definition of your biceps and triceps.
Thigh and Buttock Lifts
Also known as lower body lifts, removing sagging skin and excess fatty accumulations in the legs and buttock areas also results in a smoother, younger, and firmer appearance.
Face, Eyelid and Chin Lift
Thanks to the effects of aging, sun exposure and everyday life, our face may need a lift. Sagging skin around the eyes and jowls make us appear older than we are. A facelift removes or tightens the folds and fat, as well as smoothing out the creases we may get around the mouth, forehead, and eyes. If you’ve always had droopy eyes, an eyelid lift targeting that area specifically may be in order. Additionally, a chin lift can reduce or eliminate the appearance of a double chin.
Full Body Lift
If you’ve had bariatric surgery, a full body lift may be in order. Often, with extreme weight loss, a patient is left with sagging skin in the arms, legs, abdomen, buttocks and even face and neck. If you’ve stabilized your weight for at least one year, you may be a good candidate for a full body lift.
If you’ve undergone extensive weight loss, or simply want to improve the appearance of some trouble areas, a body lift may be right for you. Contact our office for a complete consultation.
