body contouring

The presence of extra skin and soft tissues of the upper arm, upper thighs and back can result in a variety of troublesome clinical symptoms. Patients who have undergone bariatric weight loss procedures or who have lost a significant amount of weight by other means are particularly susceptible to the effects of loose hanging skin.

For each of these problem areas a variety of surgical procedures are available to help not only the appearance but also the symptoms associated with them. Body contouring procedures conducted by Dr. Endara and Dr. Fulks include:

• Abdominoplasty
• Arm lift
• Thigh lift

In certain, but very limited cases, insurance coverage can be pursued. The majority of these procedures, however, are classified as cosmetic in nature and therefore involve additional out-of-pocket costs.
