Before & After Body Lift: She was 5’4” and weighed 169 pounds with a BMI of 29 before her surgery. Here is a 39 year old woman who came to us after losing 185 pounds the hard way- through diet and exercise. She was very concerned about her excess skin which became looser as she continued to drop in weight. Dr. Reath performed a circumferential body lift during which he removed over 11 and a half pounds of excess skin and subcutaneous fat. Because of the amount of excess skin, Dr. Reath added the vertical incision, which was necessary to achieve her dramatic result. Not all body lifts require this. She is pictured here before and six months after her procedure literally a new woman.

Before & After Circumferential Body Lift- She is 5’9” and weighs 148 pounds. Here is a 34-year-old woman who had gastric bypass surgery three years before she came to our office. After losing over 140 pounds, she was very concerned about the appearance and excess skin of hanging from her abdomen and posterior hips and buttocks. Dr. Reath performed a circumferential body lift, sometimes referred to as an “around the world” lift. She is pictured before and six months after her surgery. (Because of the large amount of excess skin to be removed, a vertical incision was necessary on her abdomen. Not all patients need the vertical incision during a body lift.)

Before & After Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)- Having always struggled with her weight, this 23-year-old told us that her upper arms had always been out of proportion to the rest of her body. Then, she lost 50 pounds, which further exacerbated the situation. Her right arm was much worse than her left arm. Dr. Reath performed a brachioplasty and she was so happy to have that excess skin and fat go away!

Before & After Body Lift- He is 6’2” and weighs 185 pounds. Here is a 25-year-old man who came to our office concerned about excess skin in his mid-section after losing 125 pounds through diet and exercise. Because the excess skin to be removed was on his abdomen and his posterior, Dr. Reath performed a circumferential body lift to remove and contour both areas in one procedure. He is pictured here six months after his surgery, a new man. His incisions continue to fade and improve over time.

Before & After Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) She is 5’3” and now weighs 138. Here is a woman who recently lost about 130 pounds after having gastric bypass surgery. She was very concerned with the appearance of her arms as a result of this massive weight loss. Because of the amount of excess skin that needed to be removed, Dr. Reath performed a bilateral brachioplasty. There is a remarkable improvement in the shape of her arms after her procedure and her incisions will lighten over the course of time.

Before &After Medial (Inner) Thigh Lift: She is 5’5” and weighs 148 pounds. Here is a 47-year-old woman who struggled with her weight after the birth of her children. Eight months prior to her visit to our office, she had gastric bypass surgery and successfully brought her weight down from 236 to 148 with a BMI of 24. She started exercising and eating much better. Unfortunately as a result of her weight loss, she was saddled with a generalized amount of excess skin. She is pictured before and six months after her medial thigh lift.

Before & After Body Lift- This 52-year-old came to Dr. Reath after losing a lot of weight through diet and exercise. Concerned about the loose skin in her abdomen, thighs and buttocks, Dr. Reath felt she would be an ideal candidate for a circumferential body lift. She is seen here before and after her procedure. She was so excited about her new tummy, she got her belly button pierced!
