This patient achieved an extraordinary weight-loss milestone—an accomplishment that often leaves behind significant skin laxity throughout the lower body. After massive weight loss, the skin of the inner thighs becomes especially challenging to treat: it is thin, delicate, overstretched, and often unable to retract on its own. This can create persistent folds, skin-on-skin discomfort, and difficulty with clothing fit and mobility. Dr. Vinyard performed an advanced thigh lift as part of this patient’s lower body makeover to remove the excess skin and restore a smoother, firmer contour. Massive-weight-loss skin requires a different level of precision: careful vascular planning, customized incision placement, and strategic tension redistribution to avoid puckering, irregularities, or downward migration of the scar over time. With these techniques, Dr. Vinyard was able to lift and reshape the thighs while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.The result is a dramatic improvement in contour, comfort, and confidence—showcasing the powerful impact possible when massive-weight-loss patients are treated with specialized techniques and an artistic eye.

This patient came to us after a significant weight-loss journey, ready to address the areas that weight loss alone cannot fix — stretched abdominal tissues, deflated and descended breasts, and lax skin through the torso. Post-weight-loss makeovers are some of the most technically demanding procedures in aesthetic surgery because the skin behaves differently after major weight changes: it’s thinner, less elastic, and often marked by uneven tension patterns that require advanced surgical planning. For this patient, Dr. Vinyard performed an abdominoplasty with muscle plication, umbilicoplasty, and a mons pubis lift to restore a smooth, balanced abdominal contour. Massive-weight-loss abdomens require precise tension redistribution, careful vascular preservation, and meticulous redraping to avoid irregularities and to achieve a natural, streamlined shape.Her breasts were rejuvenated with a mastopexy with a left breast reduction combined with breast augmentation — a highly customized approach designed to restore both lift and upper-pole fullness. In post-weight-loss patients, breast tissue can be especially deflated and bottom-heavy, making the lift-and-augment combination an advanced technique that requires exceptional attention to tissue quality, implant positioning, and support. The result is a beautifully refined, balanced silhouette that honors her hard work while restoring proportion, symmetry, and confidence. This transformation highlights what’s possible when post-weight-loss patients are treated with the specialized skill set, advanced training, and artistic precision these complex cases demand.

This patient achieved significant weight loss, which left behind excess skin along the abdomen and arms—two of the most challenging areas to reshape after major weight changes. Dr. Vinyard performed an extended abdominoplasty with muscle plication, umbilicoplasty, and a mons pubis lift, along with a brachioplasty to refine the upper arms. Massive weight-loss skin requires advanced technique: careful tension control, strategic incision placement, and meticulous contouring to prevent irregularities or scar migration. Dr. Vinyard restored a smoother, more balanced abdominal contour while creating a natural-appearing belly button and lifting the mons for improved proportion. The arm lift further enhances her silhouette, tightening lax skin while keeping the incision discreet along the inner arm.The result is a dramatically smoother, more confident shape—precise, natural, and truly life-changing.

This patient underwent an extended abdominoplasty with rectus muscle plication, umbilicoplasty, and a mons pubis lift to address the significant skin laxity and muscle separation that remained after major weight loss. The makeover restores a smooth, firm abdominal contour by tightening the abdominal wall, removing overstretched skin, reshaping the belly button, and lifting the mons for a balanced, natural result. Her new silhouette shows a dramatic improvement in profile, waistline definition, and lower-abdominal contour—bringing comfort, confidence, and proportion back to her midsection.

This patient experienced significant abdominal skin laxity after major weight loss — including overstretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and a low, widened belly button shape. Dr. Vinyard performed an extended abdominoplasty with rectus muscle plication, umbilicoplasty, and a mons pubis lift to address each of these concerns comprehensively. By tightening the abdominal wall, removing excess skin, reshaping the belly button, and elevating the mons region, he rebuilt the core support and restored a smoother, more balanced contour. The result is a dramatically flatter abdomen, a natural-appearing navel, and a more refined lower silhouette — the kind of outcome achievable with specialized postop-weight-loss surgical techniques and meticulous attention to detail.

This patient underwent an advanced post–weight-loss makeover to address significant skin laxity of the abdomen and arms. After major weight loss, the skin becomes thin, overstretched, and unable to retract, making procedures like extended abdominoplasty and brachioplasty far more complex than standard cases. Dr. Vinyard combined an extended abdominoplasty with muscle plication, umbilicoplasty, a mons pubis lift, and brachioplasty—each planned with specialized techniques for massive-weight-loss patients. His approach includes customized incision design, careful vascular planning, and precise tension control to avoid puckering, irregularities, or recurrent laxity.The result is smoother abdominal contour, restored core support, a refined mons area, and beautifully tightened arms—all achieved with the advanced skill and artistry required for post–weight-loss anatomy.
