 Some
patients develop severely loose skin of the upper arms.
This is sometimes referred to as "bat wings."
Removing the excess skin along the inner aspect of the
arm, from just above the elbow extending into the axilla
("armpit"), can treat this problem. The surgical procedure
usually takes between 2-3 hours with a recuperation time
of 1-2 weeks.

 Changes
of the breast are variable among massive weight loss
patients. Some patients lose so much volume in their
breasts that they require a breast enhancement with
an implant. If they also have very lax skin and their
nipple areola position is very low, then they may require
a breast lift (mastopexy) procedure. Some patients'
breasts remain quite large and require a breast reduction.
Again, the surgery has to be individualized for each
patient. The surgical procedure usually takes between
2-4 hours with a recuperation time of 1-2 weeks.

 Many
massive weight loss patients unfortunately have variable
amounts of loose skin and subcutaneous fat deposits. After
losing large amounts of weight(often exceeding 100 pounds),
these patients are often "wearing the skin of two
people." Not uncommonly, patients complain of "large
aprons" of skin and fat that hangs from the lower
abdomen. This can result in hygiene concerns and cause
difficulty with obtaining properly fitted clothing. In
addition, many patients will have loose hanging skin around
their backs, hips, and upper abdomen as well. The circumferential
abdominoplasty can be performed to treat all these areas.
A tummy tuck incision is extended around the back if necessary,
this excision of tissue will also lift the buttock and
lateral thighs. The surgical procedure usually takes between
4-6 hours with a recuperation time of 1-2 weeks. Dr. Wallach has presented at national meetings and published plastic surgery journal articles on circumferential abdominoplasty procedures.

 Gynecomastia
is the treatment of the prominent male chest that is
commonly due to excess fatty deposits of the chest and
sometimes even breast tissue development. Patients will
have variable amounts of excess skin and have to be
assessed for individualized treatment. Sometimes patients
can be treated by liposuction alone or liposuction can
be combined with direct excision of the underlying fatty
or breast tissue. Direct excision of tissue can be performed
through a small incision along the areola-skin border
on the chest. For patients that have had massive weight
loss ( i.e post-bariatric surgery patients), excision
techniques removing skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue
is sometimes performed. The surgical procedure usually
takes between 2-3 hours with a recuperation time of
1-2 weeks.
