Circumferential Body Lift
The circumferential body lift at El Paso Cosmetic Surgery includes four procedures for dramatic results: abdominoplasty, lateral thigh lift, buttock lift, and buttock augmentation. In addition, liposuction is often used to touch up areas where fat has accumulated. At our practice, these procedures are completed at the same time for a dramatic body transformation with accelerated recovery.
Circumferential Body Lift – Abdominoplasty
As part of the body lift procedure, Dr. Sozer circumferentially removes the excess skin from the lower portion of the abdomen, the sides, and the buttock area so that the patient achieves a slender body contour. This process leaves a circular scar.
Circumferential Body Lift – Lateral Thigh Lift
Excess skin on the legs sometimes keeps patients who have lost a significant amount of weight from enjoying their new shape and lifestyle. In the lateral thigh lift procedure, which is considered part of the overall body lift at El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Sozer pulls leg skin upward like a stocking and excises unnecessary skin to create a sleek and natural-looking leg contour.
Circumferential Body Lift – Buttock Lift
To rid the body of excess skin on the buttocks, it is necessary to perform a buttock lift procedure. The buttock area is pulled upward and excess skin is trimmed away for a lean, toned appearance. Because this procedure tends to flatten this area, Dr. Sozer invented a procedure to maintain and even accentuate the curvature of the buttock using natural tissue. For more information on the buttock contouring techniques used at El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, please contact Dr. Sozer for a circumferential body lift consultation.
Circumferential Body Lift – Buttock Augmentation
Buttocks are naturally curved, and Dr. Sozer believes it is important to preserve this rounded, natural shape during post- weight loss plastic surgery. When necessary, Dr. Sozer supplements buttock lift treatments with buttock augmentation for contouring that looks natural. At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Sozer uses a special technique that he invented to keep and accentuate the original rounded shape of the buttock. The patient’s own tissue is used to create a flap which augments the buttock and improves its shape. Unlike the artificial buttock implant procedure, buttock contouring performed by Dr. Sozer is entirely safe because the implants are composed of the patient’s natural tissue.
Extended Circumferential Body Lift
For optimal aesthetic results, some patients require extensive body contouring after significant weight loss through bariatric surgery. El Paso Cosmetic Surgery provides an extended circumferential body lift option for patients who have excess skin that must be excised in more than one dimension. An extended circumferential body lift involves removing a triangle of tissue from the abdomen and suturing each side of the body like a vest to develop a waistline. This eliminates excess tissue from top to bottom as well as across the body. Fat pockets and areas where the skin is still loose are addressed as needed on an individual basis.
Medial Thigh Lift
Patients who have lost a considerable amount of weight often experience problems with excess skin on the insides of their thighs. The inner thighs are a common site for skin laxity. The appearance of the thighs can be dramatically improved with medial thigh lift surgery. During a medial thigh lift procedure, incisions are made on the insides of the thighs. In most cases, a crescent of tissue is removed, and the resulting skin is drawn together for a slimmer, tighter appearance.
Extended Medial Thigh Lift
For patients who have achieved significant weight loss after bariatric surgery, an extended medial thigh lift is often necessary. This thigh lift involves longer incisions from the knee to the groin area on the insides of the thighs. Dr. Sozer removes a triangle of tissue from each thigh, reducing excess skin in two dimensions to create a firmer and more pleasing contour. Although the incisions are significant, the scars from this procedure are not obvious because they are hidden on the insides of the thighs.
Arm Lift
The upper arms are a common site for skin laxity in patients who have lost a great deal of weight. Extra skin which hangs from the arms can be removed with an arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, for a younger, tauter arm contour. In the arm lift procedure, an incision is made from elbow to armpit. After removing excess skin from the arms, Dr. Sozer closes the incisions with sutures. Scarring will not be conspicuous as the incisions are made on the undersides of the arms.
Extended Arm Lift
Loose skin and excess tissue which hangs from the arms can be removed with brachioplasty, or an arm lift. Patients who have lost considerable weight after bariatric surgery often have extensive loose skin and excess tissue which hangs between the shoulder and the elbow. For these patients, Dr. Sozer utilizes a specialized technique, extending the brachioplasty incision from the elbow to the armpit and continuing through the lateral chest wall to completely remove this fold of tissue. A traditional arm lift procedure in which an incision is made from elbow to armpit often cannot achieve optimal results for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight. For many patients, an extended arm lift is necessary to fully excise loose skin from the upper arm. Patients who are unsure about which type of arm lift will best address their needs are invited to contact Dr. Sozer for a complimentary post-bariatric body lift consultation at our El Paso office.
Breast Lift
After substantial weight loss, breast surgery is sometimes recommended. El Paso Cosmetic Surgery can improve the appearance of breasts which sag due to excess stretched skin. Women who have lost a large amount of weight typically feel that they have been given a new opportunity to look and feel attractive. Firm, lifted breasts help many women feel self-confident after their weight loss transformations. In performing breast lift surgery at his El Paso practice, cosmetic surgery expert Dr. Sozer makes anchor-shaped incisions on the undersides of the breasts. He then removes excess tissue so that the breasts have a rounder appearance.

I have always been concerned with my health and the way I look. I exercise and eat healthy, but most of the times that is not enough, especially after having babies. I thought about having something done to improve the way I look, but I guess I was a little scared, until I met Dr. Sozer. I felt very confident about the way he explained everything to me, his knowledge, and care. I am fascinated with the results and if I decide to have something else done, I'll definitely go back to Dr. Sozer. I will certainly recommend him.
