Body Lift and Brachioplasty Combo in Raleigh, NC- After Weight Loss Contouring

Our Location

Massive weight loss is defined when patients have lost 50% or more of their body weight relative to their ideal BMI. This is almost always accomplished by major changes in diet and exercise, bariatric surgery or, in more recent times, the use of weight loss drugs like semaglutides like Ozempic or Wegovy. Individuals who have had this kind of weight loss frequently will have multiple areas of concern when it comes to body contouring. Establishing the priority of each procedure is highly individualized. Areas that are difficult to hide with clothing frequently are targeted first such as the abdomen or arms. But every patient has their own unique needs. This 38-year-old woman lost over 100 pounds over several years going from above 250 pounds down to 150 pounds. She did it through dietary changes and increased exercise alone. She sought help from Dr. Glenn Lyle to address many of her concerns with her top priority being her arms and abdomen. She underwent a combined procedure with brachioplasty, or arm lift combined with lower body lift also known as Belt lipectomy. She was otherwise very healthy, and this 5 1/2-hour operation went uneventfully with a normal recovery. In the future she will consider breast lifting and possible thighplasty. Combination procedures are very popular and most patients with massive weight loss will have several areas addressed during the initial surgery with staged secondary procedures done 3-6 months later.
