Body lift is recommended for patients who have lost significant weight resulting in redundant skin that is far more prolific than excess adiposity. Body lift involves resection of large amounts of skin as well as the elimination of residual fat. As such long surgical incisions are required.

Gut Fat In the Way of Tummy Tuck Are you wondering whether you can get a tummy tuck if you have generous gut fat. Unfortunately, the resounding answer is no you cannot! This is because the gut fat pushes out on your abdominal muscles like an inflated balloon. The problem…
Gynecomastia surgery with skin removal is reserved for patients with not only feminized breasts but also moderate to severe skin redundancy. Patients with moderate to severe skin redundancy will not benefit from removal of the soft tissue bulk only. This is because the degree of skin redundancy will not experience the required recoil that is observed in clients with minimal to moderate skin redundancy. This concern is worsened with age, since loss of the recoil protein, called elastin, is lost after the age of 45.
Hip augmentation is the newest addition to the fat grafting arena. It involves the addition of fat to the lateral hip region to create the aesthetically desired maximum lateral hip fullness characteristic of the hourglass shape. The second benefit of hip augmentation is that it must be performed as a supplement to central buttock fat grafting in patients that desire maximum enlargement of their buttock region, termed the bubble butt.
The bubble butt, as depicted by its name, describes a maximally rounded and enlarged buttock that can only be created by ensuring not only maximum central buttock projection but also lateral buttock fullness achieved by hip augmentation. The second benefit of hip augmentation is to create a smooth transition from the lateral hips down to the lateral thighs and up to the lower lateral back and flanks. This is because smooth transitions are a prerequisite to achieving aesthetically pleasing, feminine lateral contour lines. As such, there is significant variability in both the volume and positioning of fat transfers.
Male breast surgery versus gynecomastia surgery is a differentiation that requires discussion of individual client’s goals. Male breast surgery is reserved for patients that want to have a bold and armored chest plate appearance. This is in contrast to a more low profile and flat appearance of conventional gynecomastia. Clients desiring the bolder male breast surgery will often have abdominal contouring done to unveil their six pack. This is because the bolder appearance of the chest is more harmonious with an etched abdominal contour. As stated previously, conventional gynecomastia surgery results in a more subdued, flattened chest that is focused on eliminating man boobs. The flattened chest appearance does resolve the feminized chest appearance but it does not necessary condone a strong masculine appearance. In order to appreciate the difference between the male breast surgery and gynecomastia surgery, it is necessary to discuss the details of each surgery.
