Introduction to an Arm Lift
You can lose the weight. You can build muscle. But for many patients, the skin doesn’t always follow. The result is excess, loose tissue along the upper arms that no amount of effort seems to correct.
An arm lift offers a direct and effective solution. Through precise removal of excess skin and contouring of the underlying tissue, Dr. Laurie Casas of Chicago, IL, reshapes the upper arm to create a more toned appearance. It’s not about changing your body; it’s about finally allowing your results to show.

Changes in breast size most often occurs when you lose weight or during the pregnancy and nursing period. Keep in mind that deciding to breast feed will also increase your chance for sagginess, more so if you have poor skin elasticity.

Question:I had several surgeries for fibroid tumors, polyps and cysts resulting in a hysterectomy. I have an enormous abdomen (probably a lot of scar tissue too) now that I can’t get rid of. Should I pursue abdominoplasty or liposuction?
Answer: The best way to judge whether an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or liposuction is best for you would be by taking a look at your situation. Typically when your abdominal skin and subcutaneous tissue rolls over when you sit down, a tummy tuck is needed. When the abdomen has tight skin that bulges from fatty deposits which are diet and exercise resistant, […]
