Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight often find that their skin does not have enough elasticity to fit the contours of their slimmer physique. Excess skin can hang or create bulges on the body, detracting from the positive results of weight loss. With precise lower body lift, arm lift, and thigh lift procedures, performed at our Madison, Wisconsin cosmetic surgery practice, Clifford King, M.D., Ph.D. can dramatically reduce sagging skin caused by significant weight loss.
Individuals who have achieved massive weight loss – typically as a result of bariatric surgery – frequently find that the ability to fully enjoy one’s new figure is diminished due to large folds of draping, loose skin. After years of being stretched, the skin’s elasticity and ability to shrink to fit the body’s new shape is reduced, and diet and exercise do not effectively improve this condition. Surgery is the only way to tighten excess skin and give the body a firm appearance.
A total lower body lift combines multiple treatments to give patients a more contoured lower body shape. Abdominoplasty, medial thigh lift, and liposuction are often utilized to achieve the desired results. Clifford King, M.D., Ph.D. specializes in all forms of cosmetic surgery for bariatric surgery patients and is accomplished at helping patients look and feel fantastic in their new bodies.
If you have succeeded in losing a substantial amount of weight and would like to address redundant skin with a lower body lift, please contact our Madison, Wisconsin cosmetic surgery practice today.
While recovery time is often significant, once the healing process is complete, lower body lift patients can enjoy the freedom of a slimmer, sleeker physique and the ability to move about with greater ease and confidence.

Much like loose, excess skin around the lower body, sagging skin on the upper arms can be an adverse result of successful weight loss. Upper arm lift, or brachioplasty, is an effective means of improving the appearance of the arms. Slimmer, shapelier arms can be achieved with an upper arm lift performed by Dr. King at our Madison, Wisconsin cosmetic surgery practice.
By removing excess skin and tightening remaining tissue, a slim, toned look can be achieved. The arm lift procedure can sometimes be accomplished through liposuction alone, but often, an incision along the underside of the arm is required. The incision may extend from the underarm to the elbow in more extreme cases, but can be much smaller depending on how much skin needs to be removed. After fat is removed via liposuction, the loose skin is excised and the remaining tissue is reshaped to conform to the contours of the upper arm. Clifford King, M.D., Ph.D. can discuss your options for an upper arm lift in more detail during your consultation.
If you think you might be a good candidate for an upper arm lift, please contact our Madison, Wisconsin practice to schedule an initial consultation with Clifford King, M.D., Ph.D. Our cosmetic surgery practice emphasizes personalized treatment planning and world-class care.
The results of an upper arm lift are typically quite dramatic. The removal of excess skin can give the arms a more toned and youthful appearance. Slimmer arms, without the excess weight of hanging skin, are more agile and move with greater ease and grace.

Patients who have undergone successful weight loss are often left with unwanted hanging skin in the medial thigh area. A medial thigh lift, performed by Dr. King at our Madison, Wisconsin practice, can correct this condition by removing skin and excess tissue from the inner thigh. With artful and skillful methods, Dr. King can help patients achieve thighs that look more youthful and toned.
During the medial thigh lift procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from the inner thigh area. Underlying muscles are tightened to better support the thigh and create a more toned appearance. Incisions are made in the groin area where they remain discreetly hidden following surgery. The medial thigh lift is frequently combined with either liposuction or abdominoplasty at our Madison, Wisconsin, cosmetic surgery practice to achieve comprehensive body sculpting results.
