Denver Body Lift Specialist - Dr. Slenkovich
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Just about every large-weight-loss person who comes to Dr. Slenkovich is most concerned about the large amount of excess skin on the abdomen. This is actually good, because the abdomen is often one of the areas that Dr. Slenkovich thinks its important to address first.
One reason is that if there are large amounts of excess skin hanging along the lower abdomen, a condition called "intertriginous dermatitis" can develop. The skin becomes red and irritated, often painful. It may bleed or become infected. If the skin can be kept dry, this may be able to be kept under control, but it is frustrating and normally only a temporary solution.
In an abdominoplasty, Dr. Slenkovich not only removes excess skin, he tightens the muscles of the abdomen.
Often insurance companies will pay for an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, when a patient loses significant amounts of weight and can show he/she has stabilized over a period of time.

Lower Body Lift – Thighs and Buttocks
Thighs and Buttocks can be operated on at the same time as the abdomen. When done in combination, we call this a Body Lift. The Body Lift not only is an abdominoplasty (removal of excess skin and tightening of abdominal muscles), it's a procedure for excising skin and cellulite of the thighs and buttocks This is one of Dr. Slenkovich's most popular procedures following weight loss.
For a complete lower body lift (tummy, thighs and buttocks), the scar is around the waistline (for women, under the bikini-line or panty-line; for men, under the underwear line.)
