Abdominoplasty, often called a “tummy tuck,” can eliminate loose skin and improve muscle laxity in the abdominal area, restoring a smooth, toned appearance that looks fit and healthy.

Adding liposuction with a tummy tuck can further enhance results. Dr. Lloreda takes a unique and comprehensive approach to abdominoplasty that reconstructs the abdominal wall, strategically eliminates stubborn fat, and carefully locates the lower incision for a significantly enhanced look when compared to traditional abdominoplasty.

The result of the tone and sculpt of a tummy tuck will be exceptional and long-lasting.

A body lift procedure combines a buttocks lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck for the most comprehensive treatment of loose skin for patients who have had rapid weight loss.

Significant amounts of loose skin often remain when patients have lost massive amounts of weight. Excess skin can be a source of insecurity and pose functional problems, such as rashes and irritation, difficulty finding clothes, and discomfort when exercising.

A body lift plastic surgery can dramatically reduce excess skin and stubborn fat, producing long-lasting smooth skin and sculpted contours. After a body lift, patients find it easier to maintain their new body and adhere to their physical fitness routines.

Patients can finally reward themselves for all their hard work with a body lift.

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a procedure that firms and tightens the arms by removing the excess skin and contouring the arms with liposuction as needed.

Massive weight loss can lead to excess skin and fat along the arms.

The main complaint about excess skin on the arms is that it becomes difficult to wear sleeveless clothing and bathing suits. In some cases, the excess skin is so extensive that it causes chafing and irritation and interferes with physical activities.

A brachioplasty tones and sculpts the arms for a smooth look.

A thigh lift procedure involves direct excision of the excess skin with liposuction to contour the thigh circumferentially.

One of the main concerns of patients following massive weight loss is excess skin and fat of the thighs, mainly the inner thighs. This is not only an aesthetic issue, it can also lead to friction and skin breakdown between the thighs. The excess skin along the inner thighs can also limit the style and type of clothing a person can wear.

Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed body plastic surgery procedures at The Williams Center for Plastic Surgery.

Liposuction is a procedure that removes fat in specific problem areas with small tubes connected to a vacuum aspiration device. This improves body contours by reducing the net numbers of fat cells.

For a less-invasive approach to body contouring, The Williams Center performs weekend liposuction as an in- office procedure under local anesthesia. Liposuction procedures include body contouring, liposuction, and weekend liposuction.

Abdominal etching is a surgical procedure designed to sculpt the abs and shape the abdominal contour.

Ideal candidates for this procedure include patients with focused areas of fatty deposits along the abdomen that have not improved with diet and exercise and patients without significant stretch marks.

A Brazilian buttocks lift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to sculpt buttocks by removing fat from love handles and lower and upper buttocks. This enhances and augments buttocks.

As people age, skin loses elasticity and volume – especially in the buttocks. Wearing tight clothes can reveal imperfections in women’s bottom ends.

A Brazilian Buttocks Lift (BBL) can include liposuction, augmentation, and/or lifting, depending on each patient’s needs. Dr. Alfredo Lloreda will create a comprehensive plan to address all areas of concern.

A Panniculectomy is NOT a cosmetic operation. A Panniculectomy addresses the large flap of overhanging skin on the lower abdomen that commonly results from massive weight loss. The goal of surgery is to relieve some of the symptoms caused by the excess skin such as rashes, ulcerations, etc.

A Panniculectomies primary goal is functional and NOT to make the abdomen look better. It also does NOT repair separated abdominal muscles or make the core stronger. Sometimes insurance companies cover the cost of a Panniculectomy as long as very strict criteria are met.
