Abstract

Body contour surgery for the patient who has experienced massive weight loss requires extensive and multiple operations. Any means of reducing the number of such procedures while obtaining optimal results would be most beneficial to both surgeon and patient. Combined brachioplasty, thoracoplasty, and mammoplasty has proven to be safe, effective, and appropriate toward achieving these goals.
