Body Contouring
Body contouring surgery encompasses a number of different body sculpting
techniques used by cosmetic surgeons to reshape almost any area of the
body. Through body sculpting surgery, patients can effectively eliminate
excess fat and skin that are unresponsive to diet and exercise.
Body contouring offered by Dr. Palmer includes:
Lower Body Lift: Often necessary to tighten skin of the abdomen, buttocks, upper thighs,
and back after massive weight loss. It requires a circumferential skin
incision that begins as a tummy tuck incision and extends around the back
to allow posterior skin tightening as well.
Body Lift: $9,500

Thighplasty (ThighLift): When there is excessive skin laxity of the inner thigh, then liposuction
alone is not enough to correct the deformity, therefore an excision of
excessive skin is performed after the liposuction. The incisional scar
may be confined to the proximal inner thigh or extend to the knee, depending
on the degree of skin laxity and deformity present.
Thighplasty: $4,500-$6,500

Brachioplasty (Arm Lift): When there is excessive skin laxity of the upper arm, then liposuction
alone is not enough to correct the deformity (“batwing deformity”),
therefore an excision of excessive skin is performed after the liposuction.
The incisional scar is positioned in between the anterior and posterior
musculature of the upper arm from the elbow to the armpit to help conceal
the final scar, however the scar is necessary and is the tradeoff for
this procedure.
