Mercy offers
a variety of services in plastic surgery, including:
• Body contouring after massive weight loss (also called belt
lipectomy)
• Breast reconstruction after cancer surgery
• Breast reduction
• Hand surgery
• Burn treatment
• Cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and body, including
rhinoplasty, face and eyelid lifts, and tummy tucks
Body contouring,
or belt lipectomy, is the removal of the excess skin around the
mid-section of the body that remains after massive weight loss.
Drs. Al Aly and Albert Cram pioneered this procedure and are highly
experienced in the area. The benefits are not just cosmetic; quality
of life is enhanced as well. After massive weight loss, moisture
from bathing and perspiration commonly gets trapped between skin
folds, resulting in yeast and bacterial infections. After the procedure,
the patient ends up with firmer skin, flatter belly, more defined
waist, lifted outer thighs, and higher buttocks. About
