Q: Dr. von Maur, I had Lap Band surgery over 14 months ago and have lost close to 113 pounds. My weight has been stable and I receive so many compliments for my weight loss. But when I don’t have clothes on, I see a body that doesn’t represent the new me. I need information on my aesthetic choices and I realize you are a member of the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons, would you help?

A: Dear Mandy,
After a gastric bypass surgery and once a healthy lifestyle is stable, patients seek solutions to their specific aesthetic challenges. I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction by specializing in these specific surgeries. Typically, the natural aging process causes skin and tissue to lose elasticity and tone over time. Gastric bypass surgeries result in massive weight loss. Together, both factors contribute to poor tissue elasticity which results in loose sagging skin with irregular contours. A surgical body lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin and offers a more youthful-looking silhouette. A body lift is individualized to your specific regions to be treated. We welcome all patients with a complementary consultation and present a computer image of how you can look post procedure. We’re a phone call away.

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from your abdominal area. The abdominal muscles are usually tightened as well. This creates a firmer and flatter stomach especially following childbirth or major weight loss. Usually, the entire waist, hips and love handles are sculpted at the same time with precision lipo-sculpture.

The tummy tuck is a common procedure performed in an out-patient surgery center using general anesthesia. Patients are generally highly satisfied with their new waist and tummy. Scars are hidden by undergarments and most patients can return to light work in about 10-14 days.
