Congratulations in the New Year to all of you who are making the commitment to lose weight and/or reshape your body during 2010. While the health benefits of weight loss are well documented, the resulting sagging skin is an unfortunate side effect. Often, individuals who complete their weight loss and exercise program are very happy with their final weight, however they would like to have the excess skin removed so that their clothing fits smoothly and they can wear a bathing suit again.

We now have excellent techniques for reshaping your body with surgery designed to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues. The breasts, abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs and arms can all be addressed with these procedures. Many individuals require only one or two of these areas to be treated and this can often be accomplished in one surgical procedure. Some patients wish to return for a second operation to address additional areas. All of these procedures are performed in a fully accredited hospital, and overnight stays are available if required.

I enjoy providing the body contouring procedures for my patients as they reward themselves for their hard work and great accomplishment. You can make a convenient appointment for a no-charge cosmetic consultation by calling my office at 913.451.3722.
