The application of the “traditional” techniques in body contouring in the weight loss patient will often result in an incomplete result, that is also potentially more risky.

Dr. Rosenfield’s office has developed a unique interest in the post weight lost / post gastric bypass patient. He has extensive experience in all aspects of these specialized kinds of body contouring including neck lifts, breast repair, abdominoplasty, total body lifts, arm and inner thigh reductions and liposuction. In fact, he has contributed many novel surgical strategies to achieve the greatest aesthetics with the least risk.

This approach has become an essential strategy in my armamentarium to address the patient with significant global excess abdominal skin – often after significant weight loss. This procedure is able to remove the maximum amount of skin with the greatest safety with the addition of a vertical scar – and a scar that heals remarkably well. Clearly there is a trade-off between realizing a dramatic improvement in shape for an albeit relatively innocuous vertical scar.
