Stomach
A stomach lift, also known as an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying muscles, offering a rejuvenated appearance and boosting your confidence, whether you've lost significant weight, experienced changes post-pregnancy, or just want a more sculpted midsection.
This procedure involves a horizontal incision across the lower abdomen to remove unwanted tissue, with the muscles being sutured for a tighter appearance. This procedure is ideal for those with stubborn abdominal skin and fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise. Good candidates are healthy non-smokers who have realistic expectations.
Performed under general anesthesia, the procedure usually takes two to five hours as excess skin and fat are removed, muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a smooth finish. Recovery involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but wearing a compression garment will aid healing and reduce swelling. Most patients can resume light activities within two to four weeks, with a full return to normal activities after six weeks. Follow-up visits will help monitor your progress.
While results are generally permanent, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial. Dr. Clark will guide you through the process, ensuring you achieve and maintain your desired outcomes.
Arms
Sagging skin, particularly around the upper arms, can occur due to weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics, and unfortunately cannot be corrected with exercise alone. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, offers a solution to reduce excess sagging skin and reshape your upper arms.
As a body lift specialist, Dr. Clark is well-versed in performing this transformative procedure. An arm lift not only removes the drooping skin but also tightens the underlying supportive tissue and may even reduce localized fat pockets, giving your arms a smoother, more defined appearance.
Ideal candidates for this surgery are healthy individuals without medical conditions that could impair healing, nonsmokers, and adults with significant upper arm sagging. It's important that your weight is relatively stable and that you maintain a positive outlook and realistic expectations for the surgery.
During recovery, expect your arms to be wrapped in bandages or a compression garment to manage swelling. A small drain might be placed temporarily to remove any excess fluid. You'll receive detailed instructions on caring for the surgical site, managing pain, and promoting healing to ensure a smooth recovery. Follow-up appointments will be part of your post-operative care to monitor your progress.
Results from your arm lift will include firmer, more contoured arms, though initial swelling and bruising might mask the full effect. Incision scars will gradually fade over six months to a year. By maintaining stable weight and fitness, the results can be long-lasting, providing a significant boost to your confidence and complementing your weight loss achievements.
Thighs
A thigh lift can be a transformative step toward achieving the body you've been working toward. This procedure aims to reshape your thighs by eliminating excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and improved contours for your thighs and lower body. While liposuction can remove excess fat, it might not address sagging or inelastic skin, which is where a thigh lift proves beneficial.
Dr. Clark, an experienced body lift surgeon, specializes in creating aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting results. Although the initial results of a thigh lift are noticeable right away, it may take several months for the full effects to be evident. Dr. Clark takes great care to minimize scars, strategically placing them so they're hidden by clothing, helping you maintain confidence as you show off your new shape.
Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery include nonsmokers who lead a healthy lifestyle, committed to proper nutrition and exercise. You are likely a good candidate if you have excess tissue along your inner or outer thighs and realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve.
If you're considering a thigh lift, Dr. Clark, a trusted plastic surgery surgeon, offers personalized care to help you achieve your desired look. This procedure not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence, complementing your weight loss journey with firmer, more contoured thighs.
