Dr. Roark’s introduction to Abdominoplasty & Body Lift Surgery
Body contouring surgery, utilizing procedures such as Abdominoplasty (“tummy tuck”) or a Total Body Lift, is used for patients with excessive baggy skin, which has not responded to diet and exercise. The skin, muscle and fat layers are evaluated and treated, and the goal is to lift the tissues back to their original position. The result is more youthful and rejuvenated body contours.
Corrective surgery of the abdominal tissues may be required as a result from weight gain and loss, pregnancy, aging and prior incisions. Body lift procedures treat loosening skin out to the sides of the body and correct vertical loosening along side contours. The loose skin falls toward the middle of the abdomen and toward the inner thighs from the front and back.
Dr. H. Michael Roark has more than twenty years of experience with surgical body contouring procedures. An area of special interest, Dr. Roark has treated numerous patients with moderate and large amounts of weight loss. Using the latest surgical techniques in conjunction with aggressive liposuction has provided patients very satisfactory changes, shifting skin into place and reducing overall bulk. The ultimate goal is to provide the patient with proportional size and appearance of the total body. Most patients will respond to our combined techniques very well.
