Body Contouring in Portland & Lake Oswego
After massive weight loss, the exhilaration you feel may be overshadowed by the realization that the fat loss has left you with excess skin in various places. Dr. Burgess offers a wide variety of body contouring procedures to help both men and women, who have lost a significant amount of weight, further contour their new physiques.
Am I A Candidate For Body Contouring?
We often see patients who are frustrated after losing significant weight, whether that be from medical weight loss programs or after bariatric surgery. These patients feel great physically, but their excess tissue is not the reward that they expected following their weight loss. This tissue and excess skin have been maximally stretched and will not shrink back on their own. The ideal candidate for body contouring surgery are those who have reached a stable weight and are not planning to lose any more significant pounds. With plastic surgery, dramatic improvements can be made to the shape and feel of the body.

What Are Body Contouring Procedures?
Dr. Burgess offers a variety of procedures to further contour the body after weight loss by removing excess skin and localized fat. These procedures can include:
Face + Neck Lift
Patients who struggle with sagging skin in the lower face can turn to Dr. Elisa Burgess in her Lake Oswego, OR practice to undergo a face and/or neck lift to correct this. There are multiple reasons people undergo facelifts, including:
- To correct signs of aging in the lower face
- To remove excess fat
- To tighten underlying tissues
- To re-drape the skin of the lower face
Breast Lift Or Breast Lift With Augmentation
Following pregnancy, aging, or a massive weight loss, women often find themselves with breasts that are not as youthful in appearance as they once were. Sometimes these women want more fullness with an implant and a breast lift. Other women have their desired breast volume, but want to have the breasts reshaped and the nipples centralized with only a breast lift.
Breast Augmentation With Implants
Dr. Burgess offers breast augmentation for patients with round saline, structured saline, round silicone, or shaped silicone implants, as one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries available. This surgical procedure enhances breast volume and fullness to improve a woman’s appearance.

What Are Body Contouring Procedures?
Breast Reduction
Some women have large, heavy breasts that create an unbalanced appearance, limit their activities, and cause painful physical symptoms. Their symptoms may include back pain, neck pain, bra strap grooving on their shoulders, and rashes under their breasts.These women can turn to Dr. Elisa Burgess for breast reduction in Portland.
Brachioplasty
People who lose a great amount of weight may often be left with excess skin in the upper arms, creating the unwanted “batwing” effect. Brachioplasty is a medical term for an upper arm lift plastic surgery procedure. For these individuals, Dr. Elisa Burgess offers brachioplasty, in her Portland, OR area practice. There are multiple reasons people chose to undergo brachioplasty including:
- To contour the upper arms
- To remove excess skin and tissue in the upper arms that has not responded well to diet and exercise
- To assist bariatric patients in removing excess tissue after weight loss
Tummy Tuck
Many people celebrate the loss of weight but are disappointed by the excess, deflated skin afterward. Some have done it through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. Others have a normal weight but have seen the effects of pregnancy and in particular, multiple births or twins. In her Portland, OR area practice, Dr. Elisa Burgess is pleased to offer tummy tuck procedures, or abdominoplasty, to patients who want a firmer, flatter abdomen.
Inner Thigh Lift
Following major weight loss, patients are often met with unwanted excess skin on various parts of their body, like the thighs. In her Portland, OR area office, Dr. Elisa Burgess can discuss thigh lift procedures, or thighplasty, for patients wishing to remove excess skin from their thighs. There are multiple reasons people chose to undergo a thigh lift in Portland, including:
- To remove excess skin on the thighs
- To tuck and contour thighs
- To reduce thigh circumference
Liposuction
In her Portland-area plastic surgery practice, Dr. Elisa Burgess offers liposuction for fat removal from specific areas. Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, back, thighs, or neck using a specialized suction device. The procedure is designed to subtly improve trouble areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Oftentimes, liposuction may be done in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries.
