*This 28-year-old woman lost 120 pounds after gastric bypass surgery. She had done the hard work of losing her weight; what she needed now was a plan to remove her excess skin. In her case, the best way to restore the contours of her small frame was to remove her skin circumferentially with post-weight loss body contouring surgery by Grand Rapids plastic surgeon Dr. Dennis Hammond. In the “marking” photos you can see how much skin was to be removed. Her circumferential body lift not only removed excess skin from her mid section but also lifted and smoothed her buttocks and thighs. She is very happy with her new look and now is able to wear clothes that fit her appropriately.
