So you've lost a lot of weight?
Major weight loss is a significant accomplishment whether by dieting alone or after bariatric surgery. Fitting into the new, smaller size clothing you wear enhances the excitement you feel when you step on a scale. You are healthier, happier, and probably more active. Publicly, you look amazing. Privately, you might feel very uncomfortable with the pockets of excess skin that commonly occur after major weight loss.
These pockets of excess skin are unsightly at best and can seriously hinder your ability to participate in certain physical activities that could further improve your health. Excess loose skin can also make you self-consciousness about wearing certain outfits. After all the work you've put into losing the weight, shouldn't you have the freedom to wear and do and look the way you have always wanted? There is one final, necessary step to complete your transformation.
Why choose Marina Plastic Surgery?
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic surgery after major weight loss requires special care from highly experienced body contouring experts. Dr. David Stoker and Dr. W. Grant Stevens are nationally recognized body contouring specialists with superior knowledge of the requirements and serious safety issues involved. Dr. Stevens and Dr. Stoker have perfected a new technique called the Stevens Laser Bra for Breast Reduction and Breast Lift. Dr. Stoker was chosen by The New York Times Style Magazine in 2005 as one of the top cosmetic plastic surgeons in the United States. Dr. Stoker has been nationally recognized for his research in power-assisted liposuction. Dr. Stevens has been named one of America's Best Physicians in "The Guide to Top Doctors."
What does it take?
The main difference between cosmetic surgery after major weight loss and other cosmetic procedures is the need to assess the entire body not just one targeted area. Excess skin will pucker and fold over many sections of the body from the breasts, back, hips, abdomen, thighs, arms and pubic area. Body contouring of the torso usually requires a different procedure than body contouring of the thighs and buttocks or arms and breasts. Your skin's texture and the amount of tissue laxity will affect incision sites, the amount of skin removal, and the degree to which scars will be visible. At Marina Plastic Surgery, serving the greater Los Angeles region, the consultation is your opportunity to discuss your specific goals with our surgeons.
