Torsoplasty (Body Lift) / Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

What is Torsoplasty?

The torsoplasty, or body lift procedure, is an extended form of the tummy tuck and all are abdominoplasty surgeries. The torsoplasty procedure especially benefits men and women who have lost a significant amount of weight resulting in excessive hanging skin around the mid section of their body. 

The body lift procedure is uniquely tailored by Dr. Wolin to meet the needs of each individual patient.  Dr. Wolin has a sculptors approach to the 270 to 360 degree body lift. He shaves away fat in the hip and “muffin top” area, sculpting a pleasing smaller and smoother body circumference. This is where Dr. Wolin’s approach is very unique. This hip and waist sculpting is done in addition to the standard liposuction commonly done.

Your new exciting body image is created with surgical sculpting of the abdomen, hips and waist along with liposuction of the flanks, lateral thighs and tightening of the abdominal muscles. Torsoplasty surgery is often combined with other cosmetic procedures such as breast enhancement

Results

With the removal of virtually a belt of skin, stretch marks on the lower abdomen may be removed and those remaining will be flatter and less apparent.  While the incisions that need to be created in an abdominoplasty can extend around the torso as far as 360 degrees, they are kept low and within the “bikini” area, in most cases.  These scars are very acceptable to our male and female patients and are considered a “trade off” for their new smoother body silhouette. Torsoplasty patients gain a new positive attitude as they see the remarkable improvement in their overall body shape.

What is Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a hip to hip abdominoplasty which flattens the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles of the abdominal wall if needed.  The best candidates for abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that is in the front portion of the abdomen and won’t respond to diet or exercise.  The tummy tuck surgery is particularly helpful to women who through multiple pregnancies have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where the skin/muscles can return to normal.  Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved with a tummy tuck Tummy tuck does not address the flank or “muffin top” areas. 

What happens at your Abdominoplasty Consultation Appointment?

Dr. Wolin will discuss your health history to learn what created the need for a body lift.  He will explain the surgery in detail also how he will apply his artistic body lift techniques to address your unique body image issues.  You will be asked to put on an exam gown so that Dr. Wolin can take a first hand look at your issues and pictures will be taken at some point before you go into surgery. You will be guided through all the steps necessary for your abdominoplasty recovery period.
