A tummy tuck can safely remove excess skin from the abdominal area and tighten abdominal muscles, restoring a smooth, tight and toned appearance in the midsection. An additional goal of surgery is to conceal visible scarring to enhance your final look. Your belly button will also be safely and attractively repositioned during surgery. Abdominoplasty is an ideal and highly-effective surgery for rapid weight loss patients and mothers who have completed childbearing. By selecting a highly-qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, like Dr. Alfredo Lloreda, you can enjoy exquisite and lasting results.

A floating abdominoplasty is a tummy tuck procedure that is accomplished entirely through the lower incision, without an incision around the belly button. The necessary augmentations — skin excision and muscle tightening — are performed as in a traditional abdominoplasty; however, the belly is detached, elevated and repositioned over abdominal muscles — “floated,” giving the procedure its name — before being reattached, completing the procedure. Dr. Lloreda frequently uses an endoscope during the procedure to ensure your safety and to enhance your results.

A body lift is a combined procedure that includes a tummy tuck, thigh lift and buttocks lift to provide comprehensive rejuvenation of the abdominals and midsection. Dr. Lloreda may also recommend that you have liposuction along with your body lift procedure to maximize your results. A body lift provides all of the benefits of a tummy tuck while also slimming and toning the thighs and buttocks to create a balanced and fit new look. This combination treatment is often ideal for rapid weight loss patients who have significant remaining excess skin and fat that they wish to address.

A buttocks lift may include three complementary procedures in a single surgery to enhance your buttocks, creating a fit, toned and contoured look that looks great no matter what you wear. Depending on your anatomy and cosmetic goals, Dr. Lloreda may recommend either liposuction, a fat transfer and skin excision to create a tailored and beautiful look after surgery.

Liposuction permanently removes targeted areas of fat from the body by gently and precisely suctioning it away. When you have your procedure performed by a surgeon skilled in liposuction, such as Dr. Alfredo Lloreda, you can have beautiful, tailored results that will enhance any additional procedure you have, such as a body lift, thigh lift, buttocks lift or skin toning treatment. Since your body will not regenerate depleted fat cells, the results of liposuction are permanent.

The arms are often as much affected by rapid weight loss as the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. Since no amount of exercise and dieting will reduce excess skin on the arms, an arm lift can be a crucial and incredibly-beneficial treatment to complete your post weight loss look. Like other procedures designed to eliminate excess skin, your surgeon will carefully excise loose, sagging and drooping skin from the arms to restore a beautiful, fit, toned and sculpted appearance to the area that matches and enhances results achieved elsewhere in the body.

Since many people carry significant excess weight in their thighs, the effects of rapid weight loss on this area can be devastating. After the abdomen, the thighs may be the body area, which is most burdened by excess skin after losing weight. This unavoidable problem can impair your look, cause continual discomfort and possibly even prevent you from fully engaging in your new workout routines. However, a thigh lift can eliminate this drooping and sagging skin and give you your comfort and mobility back — while also restoring a healthy and fit look.

Weekend Liposuction provides patients interested in traditional liposuction with additional convenience. During the procedure, Dr. Lloreda uses two-millimeter cannulas to reduced fat in targeted areas effectively while also minimizing trauma. The technique, which uses local anesthesia, allows patients to leave the treatment center in as little as 30 minutes after treatment. When performed on a Thursday or Friday afternoon, most patients can comfortably return to work on Monday, earning the technique the name, “Weekend Liposuction.” Any patient interested in targeted, convenient weight loss will want to consider Weekend Liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat.
