After Massive Weight Loss

Breast augmentation – Enhances the size and shape of breasts by inserting saline or silicone implants behind the breasts.
Breast lift, including advanced short scar techniques – Raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue and nipples; scarring is minimized through a vertical scar technique.
Breast reduction – Removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, reducing the pain, discomfort and medical problems caused by large breasts, and creating a more proportional body.
Buttock lift and sculpting – Defines or increases the size and shape of the buttock area using implants, injections and/or liposuction.
Face lift – Improves the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat on the face, tightening underlying muscles and re-draping the skin on the face and neck.
Lower body lift – Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips and lower back, lifts the buttocks and outer thighs, and tightens the abdominal muscles.
Male breast reduction (removal of excess skin) – Removes loose, hanging skin, tissue and excess fat in the breast area.
Neck lift – Improves sagging jowls and loose neck skin by removing excess fat, tightening the muscles and re-draping the skin.
Removal of back rolls/excess tissue – Removes the rolls of fat and excess tissue on the back to create a more defined, appealing shape.
Thigh lift, inner and outer – Removes excess skin from the thighs for a smoother contour.
Total body lift/circumferential body lift – Reduces excess fat and skin that has developed in multiple areas of the body, including abdomen, buttocks and inner and outer thighs, resulting in a smoother, more attractive body contour.
Tummy tuck/abdominoplasty/panniculectomy – Flattens the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin from the abdominal region and tightening the muscles underneath; panniculectomy removes the excessive bulge of skin and fat around the middle and lower torso often referred to as a "spare tire."

Buttock augmentation – Defines or increases the size and shape of the buttock area using implants.
Buttock sculpting
Liposuction (suction-assisted, ultrasound) and body sculpting – Improves body shape by removing exercise-resistant fat deposits with a tube and vacuum device. An ultrasound probe can be inserted beneath the skin to "liquefy" the fat before it is suctioned, improving the ease and effectiveness of the liposuction.
Mini-abdominoplasty (removal of stretch marks/excess skin after pregnancy) – Removes stretch marks and excess skin that develop after pregnancy; less extensive than an abdominoplasty.
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) – Flattens the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin from the abdominal region and tightening the muscles underneath.
