Liposuction
 Also known as suction assisted lipectomy or SAL, liposuction is a very popular and effective procedure for removing excess fat deposits. It is most useful in patients who are not significantly overweight and have persistent areas of fat deposition that they are unable to get rid of otherwise. In fact most of my patients here in Boulder are in excellent physical condition and just frustrated by genetically determined areas of fat that don’t respond to their efforts. It is not an effective substitute for diet and exercise and will have only minimal effects on total body weight when properly applied.
Cost of Liposuction: $2000 - $5000 depending on number of areas (This is the usual total cost for the procedure but this may vary depending on choice of anesthesia and individual circumstances).

Body Lift (belt lipectomy)
The body lift is performed to remove loose, excess skin from the torso and upper legs. It offers an improvement in appearance for patients who have lost significant amounts of weight due to childbearing, diet, exercise or bariatric surgery. The procedure is often combined with others such as breast lifts and arm lifts to retain a proper body proportion.

Abdominoplasty (“Tummy Tuck”)
 Abdominoplasty helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles. The best candidates have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise. The procedure can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy.
The procedure takes approximately two to five hours and can be performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with a sedative. Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months. With a balanced diet and regular exercise, results are long-lasting. Abdominoplasty will likely leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, although it should be low enough for even a bikini to conceal it.
Cost of Abdominoplasty: $5500 (This is the usual total cost for the procedure but this may vary depending on choice of anesthesia and individual circumstances).

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
After substantial weight loss, weight gain or simply from the effects of aging, skin on the upper arms can become inelastic, loose and flabby. Arm lifts, also known as brachioplasty, remove that excess skin and fat. Patients who have significant amounts of fat may want to consider combining the procedure with liposuction.

Thigh Lift
 A thigh lift is performed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper legs. Candidates typically suffer from loose, inelastic skin after extreme weight loss due to diet, exercise or bariatric surgery. Because of this, the procedure is often combined with others such as breastlifts, facelifts and armlifts to retain an attractive body proportion.
In a medial thigh lift (inner thigh lift), the surgical incision is made in the inner thigh along the line where the leg meets the groin. In a lateral thigh lift (outer thigh lift), the incision is made from the groin around the back of the body, so that the buttocks are lifted along with the thigh.
