This 41 year old patient had lost weight after bariatric surgery, and was concerned with her arms, breasts and abdomen.  The breasts had a moderate amount of volume with drooping.  Her abdomen had a large amount of loose skin.  Dr. Janssen performed an abdominoplasty, a breast lift, and a limited incision arm lift, all with liposuction.  A bilateral mastopexy (breast lift) was performed using a keyhole type pattern.  56 grams of tissue removed from the right breast and 54 grams from the left breast.  A formal extended abdominoplasty was performed to remove an abdominal pannus weighing 1656 grams.  A total of 50mL of fat was removed from the arms, which had a D-shaped incision in each underarm.  Patient tolerated the procedure well, and only required pain medication for the first 4 days.
