Many men and women experience the joy of losing significant amounts of weight through a variety of dieting programs or gastric bypass surgery. Those of you who have done so also understand the heartbreak of loose skin hanging from arms, thighs and especially the abdomen. Low self esteem from obesity is replaced by low self esteem from rolls of excess skin. Plastic and reconstructive has so much to offer. Dr. Merrell and Dr. Billet have provided life changing surgery for hundreds of weight loss patients. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), thigh lift, arm lift, and surgery of the breast can make an incredible difference in your life. After a 135 lbs weight loss this patient's "pear" shape was corrected with a combination of tummy tuck and breast lift/enlargement. The result - proper upper and lower body balance and proportion.
