With the large number of bariatric surgeries being performed, the
number of patients with massive weight loss is increasing. These
patients can have significant laxity of the skin throughout
the entire body. The most common areas include the breasts,
arms, abdomen, and thighs. Facial sagging is also commonly associated
with massive weight loss. These concerns are best treated by
staged contouring procedures that remove and lift excess tissue
to reconstruct normal anatomy.
The circumferential abdominoplasty performed at the Straith
Clinic in Bingham Farms, MI on patients from all over Metro
Detroit including Sterling Heights, Grosse Pointe, Lincoln
Park and Novi, is well suited for patients that are looking
for simultaneous improvement in the abdomen, lateral thighs,
and buttocks. It is also known as a lower body lift. The actual
procedure combines an abdominoplasty, a buttock lift, and
a lateral thigh lift performed at one surgical operation.
The incision is similar to an abdominoplasty in the front,
but it sweeps around the back, extending all the way around
the torso. The results from this operation can be quite dramatic.
