Lower
Body Lift
A lower body lift restores contour to the lower
midsection of the body. Most body lift procedures
combine abdominoplasty with a lift to the outer
thighs and buttocks. The lower body lift removes
skin and excess fat above and below the umbilicus
along with the tightening of the abdominal muscles
to reshape and contour the body. Where once there
was sagging skin on your abdomen, lower back,
waist, thighs and buttocks you will find more
toned and defined contours. Ultimately the final
result will provide a more natural looking, balanced
and aesthetically pleasing appearance. All patient
evaluations and procedures are based on each patients
individual needs.
CosMed's qualified and board-certified plastic
and reconstructive surgeons can achieve amazing
results with lower body lift procedures for after
weight loss patients using the most advanced and
modern techniques achieving dramatic results.

Upper
Body Lift
Skin that is loose and hanging in the upper body
area is of great concern. Whether male or female
an upper body lift is a procedure to remove excess
skin and restore contour to the upper back around
to the sides of the chest and underarm areas.
The incision for this procedure is made in the
natural crease at the base of the breasts and
extends onto each side and may extend across the
back. An upper body lift can involve a number
of procedures. Your CosMed surgeon will evaluate
and decide on the right procedures for your specific
needs to restore a more slender and youthful appearance.

Buttock
Implants
Sometimes diet and exercise do not warrant your
desired results. Buttocks implants may provide
a solution to those who desire enlarged or more
defined behind. CosMed provides our patients with
a wide variety of implants in various shapes and
sizes; in soft silicone with a naturally firm
look and feel. This procedure generally takes
about two hours, under general anesthesia, and
in conjunction with liposuction for dramatic results.

Buttocks
Lift
This surgical procedure improves the shape of
your behind by getting rid of sagging skin and
improving skin tone. With body lift patients this
procedure is done at the same time. Once the sagging
skin has been trimmed and tightened, the contour
will be shapelier and smoother.
Buttocks Augmentation
Many weight loss patients have little or no volume
in the buttocks. To enhance the contour and have
greater fullness we do a procedure called fat
grafting or fat transfer. Fat is removed by liposuction
from elsewhere in your body, appropriately prepared
and then injected into your buttocks, creating
fuller and shapelier buttocks. This procedure
is very often done along with your body lift.(Back

Breast
Lift
After weight loss, pregnancy and with age many
women find their breasts have changed in undesirable
ways, loosing fullness and shape. When breasts
lose volume they droop and sag making you feel
self-conscious about the way your breast have
transformed. A breast lift involves lifting and
reshaping primarily by removing excess skin. Several
techniques can be used to perform a breast lift.
Your surgeon will determine the best type of breast
lift for you depending on the degree of sagging,
your breast size and the location and size of
the nipple and areola. (Back

Breast
Lift and Augmentation
You may want to combine a lift with augmentation
to give you the volume and fullness you would
like to achieve. Breast augmentation is a procedure
that increases the size of your breasts by placing
implants into the breasts. At CosMed we offer
you a choice of saline or silicone implants. As
with all of our procedures your surgeon will determine
with you the best procedure for your needs. This
combined procedure produces more balance in overall
body proportions and more attractive and youthful
silhouette. (Back

Breast
Reduction
If you consider your breasts too large after your
weight loss and suffer from shoulder and neck
pain from the weight of your breasts you are most
likely to be a candidate for breast reduction.
At CosMed, this as with all procedures will be
determined by your surgeon. This surgical procedure
involves the removal of excess fat, glandular
breast tissue and skin to reduce size to a more
healthy and comfortable level. Breast reduction
provides relief and enhances your overall appearance
by making your breasts more proportional to the
rest of your body. (Back

Arm
Lift/Brachioplasty
The effects of weight loss, aging and gravity
all take their toll on the skin leaving the inner
arms with loose and sagging skin. An Arm lift/Brachioplasty
is a surgical procedure that redefines the contour
of your arms from the elbow to the underarm. The
inner arm skin is similar to that of the inner
thighs, thin, delicate and looser than other areas
of your body. Arm Lift/Brachioplasty is sometimes
done is two procedures used in conjunction with
liposuction to produce optimum results. (Back

Inner
Thigh Lift
After extreme weight loss sagging skin from the
inner thighs may prevent your clothes from fitting
properly making you feel uncomfortable and also
can cause unhealthy constant irritations and even
infections. The thigh lift is a surgical procedure
in which the sagging skin in the area is trimmed
and tightened. Inner thigh surgery is particularly
challenging for a number of reasons. The skin
and underlying tissues are thinner, more delicate
and looser than the tissue of most other areas
of your body. This weaker tissue quality makes
it more of a challenge to obtain good and long
lasting results. Sometimes needing a touch up
or revision, our doctors do not charge a patient
for revisions. Your CosMed surgeon will discuss
with you the exact type of inner thigh lift surgery
that is right for you. This is another dramatic
surgery, resulting in smaller and firmer thighs
balancing to give your body better proportion.

Face
and Neck Lift
After weight loss very often there is skin excess
and sagging in the area of the face and neck that
is not easily hidden and can significantly affect
your self esteem. A face lift will smooth loose
skin, tighten underlying muscles and remove excess
fat from the face and neck. CosMed's doctor's
are specialists in giving you a more youthful
and refreshed natural appearance. (Back
