Post-weight loss surgery with breast lift, fat transfer and brachioplasty (arm lift) - before & after - Patient 2168

Real transformations

Procedure Details

Age: 35-44
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 156
BMI: 26
This patient came looking for help with the excess skin on her arms and wanted her breasts enhanced with a reduction and lift. Despite already wearing a DDD bra and being clear she wanted smaller breasts, she was told by other surgeons she needed an implant along with a breast reduction to get the lift. Suggesting an implant when she wanted smaller breasts just didn't make sense to her , and when she had her consultation with Dr. Plant he agreed. He proceeded with a "lollipop lift' to reshape the breasts and combined it with a full brachioplasty to address the excess skin and fat on her arms. The fat taken from the arms was then transferred to the breasts to correct the asymmetry and "boost" the cleavage without increasing her breast size the way implants would have.

What is post-weight loss body contouring?

Post-weight loss body contouring is a series of surgical procedures designed to remove excess skin and restore proportion after significant weight loss.

Am I a good candidate for post-weight loss body contouring?

You may be a good candidate if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, are in overall good health, and have areas of loose skin or stubborn fat that haven’t improved with diet and exercise. The best candidates are typically at a stable weight and are ready for the next step in their journey. Dr. Plant will assess your goals and anatomy to create a surgical plan that works for you.

How long does a post-weight loss body contouring procedure take?

The length of surgery depends on the number and type of procedures involved. For example, a lower body lift may take several hours, especially if combined with additional procedures like an arm lift or breast lift. During your consultation, Dr. Plant will outline a personalized treatment plan and timeline to help you prepare.
