Patient #197
Procedure: Weight loss surgery- breast reduction, fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty
Following weight loss surgery, this 30 something patient worked extra hard to shed over 150 lbs! She was eager to show off her hard work and get rid of her excess skin. She sought out the expertise of Dr. Matthew Isakson to help her in the final stretch of her weight loss journey. After consulting with the patient, Dr. Isakson suggested a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty to address her excess abdominal skin. The patient was less concerned with scars and had a strong desire for a sleek contour under her clothes. He also suggested a breast reduction to lift, reshape and downsize the breasts. During surgery the patient’s abdominal fascia was sewn up 8 cm, excess skin was removed, and her breasts were reduced and lifted. The patient is overjoyed with her new contour and now feels her discipline and hard work has finally paid off! Her scars are still in the maturation phase and will continue to fade. She is so pleased with her decision to go forth with surgery with Dr. Isakson!

Patient #120
Procedure: After Weight Loss Surgery
This thirty-something hasn’t had children yet, but she did have a weight-loss surgery. After losing about 100 pounds, she came to Dr. Matthew Isakson to talk about the extra skin that was left behind. She wanted a natural look with a subtle, perky lift. With her weight loss and these goals in mind, she and Dr. Isakson decided on a mastopexy (breast lift) without an implant.
For her tummy, Dr. Isakson performed an extended tummy tuck with muscle repair. She lost about 5 pounds of skin and fat from her tummy and had a 10 centimeter fascial repair. This is another example of Dr. Isakson’s finesse in plastic surgery. With tailored results and a rapid recovery, she was back playing golf in no time! -

Procedure: Breast Revision, Mommy Makeover, Tummy Tuck, After Weight Loss Surgery
This patient of Dr. Decherd’s not only had several babies, but also had recently undergone weight loss surgery. After losing around 100 lbs., her skin had lost elasticity, and her implant pockets and abdominal wall had been stretched out. After consulting with Dr. Decherd, she decided on a full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and an implant exchange. Every patient has different goals, and she was pleasantly surprised that a breast lift wasn’t imperative for her to achieve her goals for her breasts. Dr. Decherd switched her implants from saline to 485cc high profile silicone gel implants. He was able to work on the inside of the breast pocket to raise the implants for a more youthful look and better cleavage. He plicated her abdominal wall 8-9 cm and removed excess skin. She is very happy with her results and so is Dr. Decherd!
