center for weight loss body contouring

We are very proud to announce the newest division of Geisinger's Center for Aesthetics & Cosmetic Surgery, The Center for Weight Loss Body Contouring.

Program Director:

As Director of The Center for Weight Loss Body Contouring, Dr. Alexander Moya is a nationally recognized leader in weight loss body contouring surgical procedures. Dr. Moya lectures and travels extensively across the United States, educating and instructing other plastic surgeons in the most up-to-date, state of the art approaches to body contouring and the associated innovative technologies available for weight loss patients.

Specializing in Post-Weight Loss Body Contouring:

Our highly skilled team of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons is dedicated exclusively to the unique cosmetic body contouring needs of post-bariatric, post-weight loss, and/or post-pregnancy patients. We understand the cosmetic issues that are characteristic for weight loss patients, including stretched, excess and hanging skin, and lack of shape or body definition. These issues may be present on many areas of the body and occur in both male and female patients. Our surgeons have helped improve the quality of life for hundreds of weight loss patients.

Corset Trunkplasty

The corset trunkplasty (corset abdominoplasty or corset procedure) is a revolutionary new surgical technique for comprehensive contouring of the abdomen and waistline following significant weight loss. The procedure can be performed on a wide range of patients with various amounts of excess skin and body styles. It is designed to create an aesthetically-pleasing body shape which appears like that provided by a corset, yet it can be modified to highlight the waistline differently for women vs. men. In women, the design provides a very desirable hourglass figure; in men, it provides a nicely tapered torso.

Plastic surgeon, Alexander P. Moya, M.D., developed the corset trunkplasty in 2006 to better address the needs of his patients. The approach requires several carefully placed incisions which interconnect and have the appearance of a sideways capital "H". The incisions are customized to each patient to ensure the removal of as much redundant skin as possible. The procedure has the added benefit of providing long term abdominal contour since it not only addresses the overhanging skin along the lower abdomen but also the often neglected loose skin of the upper abdomen. It can also remove excess skin of the lower chest, upper and lower back and hips as needed.
