From one company to another, Dr. Loren Borud has never failed to please and earn the trust of his superiors and colleagues, as well as the customers he has dealt with. He has been widely known through the years as an expert in cosmetic surgery dedicated to provide the utmost performance in each of his professional activities. He was also one of the first surgeons who practiced new and innovative methods for body contouring procedures. As a matter of fact, Dr Borud established the Massive Weight Loss (MWL) program intended for obese people who achieve drastic weigh reduction after having a successful bariatric surgery.

The basic purpose of a body contouring procedure is to get rid of the sagginess or floppiness of the excessive skin of an obese person who just underwent a great weight loss. In normal cases, the human skin is being stretched each time large fat deposits are introduced to the body. It loses its elasticity as the stretching extends to maximum level over a long period of time. As a result, obese people who successfully achieved large reduction in their body fats tend to have overhanging skin at the chest, upper arms, torso, and thighs. Aside from the unpleasant appearance, overhanging skin may also affect the health and the usual activities of a person. That is why Dr. Loren Borud strongly recommends his patients to undergo a body contouring procedure after bariatric surgery, liposuction, or any type of similar cosmetic surgery.

There are several components of body contouring. Some of these are the brachioplasty, mastopexy, and abdomioplasty. More commonly termed as arm lift, brachioplasty primarily involves incisions from the armpit down to the elbow to get rid of the extra skin, which is colloquially called “bat wings”.  With regards to mastopexy or breast lift, patients are usually advised to take breast implant that will cope to the lost fat and tissue inside the breast.

Abdominoplasty, on the other hand, is simply known as stomach lift and it also plays an important role aside from improving the patient’s appearance. Without this part of surgery, a patient may suffer from rashes resulted by the rubbing of the excessive skin to another. Moisture is also likely to retain in the portion partly covered by the overhanging skin. Other than that, body contouring can also be used to trim off unwanted skin in the lower body parts, particularly the buttocks and thighs. Additionally, any of the said bod contouring components may also require a liposuction procedure.
