Concerns in Body

• Excess Abdominal Skin A hanging apron of lower-belly skin, medically a pannus, is left behind by major weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, and it does not retract with diet or exercise. It can also cause rashes and chafing in the fold. A tummy tuck removes the excess skin and firms the abdominal wall. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon plans it for you.
• Breast Implant Problems Implants can change over the years: the breast hardens, shifts, or changes shape, an implant ruptures, or you simply feel unwell and are unsure why. Most of these problems can be corrected. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon evaluates what is happening and plans revision or removal, honestly and without pressure, matched to what you want.
• Breast Asymmetry Almost no one has perfectly matched breasts, but when the difference in size, shape, or position is enough to bother you, it is correctable. The fix is tailored to each breast, an implant, a lift, or a fat transfer, sometimes different on each side. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon plans it to bring them into natural balance.
• Arm Skin Laxity Loose skin on the underside of the upper arm, often called a bat wing, is stretched skin left by weight loss or aging, and toning exercises build the muscle beneath without removing it. An arm lift removes the excess skin for a firmer, smoother arm, with liposuction or skin tightening when they fit. At Santa Barbara Face & Body a board-certified plastic surgeon plans it.
