San Francisco Body Lift

If certain areas of your skin sags and hangs, due to massive weight loss or pregnancy, San Francisco body lift professional Joseph A. Mele, M.D. F.A.C.S. can help.

He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Board of Surgery (ABS), as well as a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS).

San Francisco plastic surgery patients can look forward to a friendly and safe environment while visiting Dr. Mele's Walnut Creek practice in California.

He offers a variety of procedures that can improve your shape, including:

  • Tummy Tuck ("abdominoplasty"): A tummy tuck proves to be a great alternative to ineffective diet and exercise. This cosmetic surgery procedure can significantly reduce excess stomach fat and create a more toned, sculpted appearance, as well as tighten abdominal muscles.

  • Body Lift: This procedure is regarded as an extension of tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"); however, the body lift focuses on the sides and back of the body in addition to the abdomen. Some of these areas are the hips, thighs, and buttocks. San Francisco body lift surgeon Dr. Mele will determine if you qualify for a full body lift or a lower body lift ("belt lipectomy").

  • Thigh Lift ("thighplasty"): This procedure is a surgical process that removes excess skin and fat from the thigh area. If you have sagging skin on your thighs that you cannot get rid of with regular diet and exercise, you might be a good candidate for this procedure. Thigh lift surgery will help provide slimmer, flattering, and contoured thighs.

  • Arm Lift ("brachioplasty"): An arm lift procedure is similar to that of a thigh lift; excess skin and fat are removed from the arm area, and the skin is pulled back, and then tightened. Dr. Mele, a highly-regarded San Francisco plastic surgeon, has extensive experience helping patients who have emerged from successful weight loss to look and feel better in their skin, with the help of brachioplasty.
