BODY CONTOURING
While shedding a significant amount of weight is often a triumphant achievement, one frequent side effect of accomplishing this goal is loose skin that is left behind. This can often be disheartening for those who have worked hard to make their body look better. If you’ve done the work of losing the weight and now want to get rid of lax skin that remains, we can help.
Although your frame may have become smaller, the human skin doesn’t always become smaller along with it. The larger you were, the more your skin would have had to stretch over the years — and just like a pair of overworn sweatpants, the elasticity in your skin may have become lost.
This means that when you lost weight, that stretched-out skin without any elasticity will be left sagging and loose. The more weight you have lost, chances are the more loose, excess skin you’ll have. This often bothers patients who have worked hard to gain a better appearance.
“Dr. Hallak is a very thoughtful surgeon who took the time to explain my options. He knew how important it was for me to obtain a stylish look without overdoing it. Although I managed to fill a 34D before my surgery, my breasts were uneven and had lost all fullness. In addition to my much-needed lift, I also wanted an areola reduction..
I had complete faith in Dr. Hallak and now after a breast lift, areolar reduction, and 400 cc high profile implants thanks to Dr. Hallak’s skillful hands, I am a sexy 36DD and my breasts are shaped beautifully and feel very natural. My sincere thanks to Dr. Hallak and his staff.”
“Hello, I am a patient of Dr. Hallaks I had breast augmentation & this is my testimonial: Being fairly new to Sandiego I went on to see many doctors for consults on having my breast implants replaced. I had saline implants for 11 years and was ready to replace them with silicone implants. I was very nervous and didn’t want a drastic change Dr. Hallak & his staff were incredible I had such a great experience really liked everyone at the surgery center also. I knew I was in good hands all of my questions were answered & concerns were addressed I’ve been so pleased with the results my new implants look so good and natural I’m always getting compliments when I’m out with friends. I’m very excited to show off my new look this summer on the beach. I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made to have Dr. Hallak as my surgeon! Thank-you”
