Pregnancy, age, gravity, weight loss – all factors that result in excess loose skin, stretch marks, or deposits of abdominal fat. Dr. Lytle can improve this through a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty. An abdominoplasty is a procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat and can tighten the abdominal wall musculature, acting like an internal corset. An abdominoplasty is an excellent choice for those seeking a tighter, flatter abdomen. For patients concerned about excess fat rather than loose skin, liposuction may be combined with abdominoplasty to achieve the best contour.
A premier plastic surgery practice and medical spa led by Dr. Ian Lytle, specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, breast, and body, alongside advanced medical-grade skincare.

A specialized body contouring surgery that physically removes localized bands of excess skin and hanging tissue from the upper and mid-back. The procedure tightens the remaining skin and positions the permanent surgical scar strategically along the natural bra line so it remains completely hidden beneath bras and swimwear.
A medical treatment using GLP-1 Medication to mimic a natural hormone integral to appetite control, reducing hunger and improving insulin efficiency to aid in significant weight reduction.
A surgical procedure to restore a firmer shape and youthful look by reshaping the breast mound, tightening the skin, and repositioning the nipple to correct drooping caused by age, pregnancy, or weight changes.
A specialized suite of procedures designed to remove excess, non-elastic hanging skin and reshape the body after significant weight loss (often following bariatric surgery) to reveal the patient's new underlying shape. Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and the subsequent significant weight loss have numerous but similar areas of concern. These areas usually include: Breast: For women, the breasts often become ptotic or saggy and a breast lift is often required. Additionally, many women lose significant breast volume with weight loss and require breast augmentation with implants. For men, several breast reduction techniques are available, depending on the degree of correction required. Face: A face lift (Rhytidectomy) is often required to remove the excess skin at the face. This can be done in conjunction with a brow lift or a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) as needed to achieve complete facial rejuvenation. Surprisingly, some patients actually require fat to be replaced back to the face. As the face loses fat, it appears older and tired. Fat grafting can significantly improve the appearance of the face and restore a youthful appearance. Abdomen: Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is often required following massive weight loss to remove the excess lower abdominal skin. For some patients, a vertical wedge excision is also often needed to removed excess skin that runs across the abdomen. A lower body lift or circumfrential lift not only removes the abdominal excess skin, but can contour the hips, outer and posterior thighs and can lift the buttocks. Arms: Brachioplasty (arm lift surgery) is a technique to lift and tighten the skin of the arm. Thighs: A medial thigh lift will remove excess skin and fat at the inner aspects of the thighs, whereas a lower body lift addresses the outer and posterior portions of the thighs.
Liposuction is a very popular procedure and one of the most common procedures that we do for both men and women. It is an excellent way to improve body shape and definition by removing unwanted fat from stubborn areas. Liposuction can eliminate fat from the abdomen, back, thighs, hips, arms, and neck.
Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure to remove skin and fat from the upper arm, reducing skin redundancy that makes clothing fit improperly or makes you feel uncomfortable in short sleeves or sleeveless tops. At Lytle Plastic Surgery, we have helped numerous women and men regain their comfort with the appearance of their arms by providing them with beautiful results from their arm lift.
If you need help getting rid of stubborn bulges of fat around your body, you may be interested in CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat-freezing technology that reduces pockets of fat in trouble spots by freezing fat cells, which the body then naturally eliminates. At Lytle Plastic Surgery we offer CoolSculpting treatments for men and women.
A buttock lift, or gluteal lift, improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports skin and fat in the buttock area. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy, significant fluctuations in weight, and genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity that can result in sagging of the buttocks. In order to achieve a smoother and more pleasing contour, excess sagging skin and fat are removed. A traditional gluteal lift will not make a butt larger but may improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface. This procedure may be included in a body lift or may be performed separately.

Planning future pregnancies or currently in an active, unstable weight loss phase
Patients who want a solution to the loose skin and excess fat around their abdominal region would be good candidates for an abdominoplasty., Candidates should ideally be in good health and should also be non-smokers.
I’ve lost the weight, so why does my stomach still 'pooch' out?, Why does my midsection feel 'weak' or unsupported since having kids, no matter how much I workout?, I have a 'shelf' of skin hanging over my C-section scar that won't go away, can exercise ever tighten that?, Now that I've reached my goal weight, I'm left with a 'deflated' stomach, will a tummy tuck finally let me see the muscles I worked for?, Can I combine a tummy tuck with liposuction on my hips to get that 'hourglass' shape back?
A 44-year-old mother wanting to wear a bikini again after her final child., Men seeking to address a "protruding" midsection or excess skin after life-stage changes., Individuals who have lost significant weight and are left with a "skin apron" or redundant tissue., Specifically targeting women looking to repair muscle separation (diastasis recti) and remove "mummy tummy" skin overhang.
What is the difference between Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck? Liposuction only removes fat. If you have good skin elasticity and strong muscles, lipo is great. However, if you have loose skin or a bulging muscle wall, liposuction alone will leave the skin looking "deflated" and saggy. A tummy tuck addresses the skin and the muscle wall, often using liposuction as a secondary tool to "carve out" the waistline for the best possible contour., Why isn't my stomach flat even though I'm at my goal weight and exercise daily? This is usually due to two things that the gym cannot fix: skin elasticity and muscle separation (diastasis recti). After pregnancy or major weight loss, the abdominal muscles can stretch apart and stay that way, causing a permanent "pooch." Additionally, once skin has been overstretched, it loses its "snap" and becomes redundant. An Abdominoplasty is a structural repair; Dr. Lytle physically sews the muscles back together to create an internal corset and removes the "apron" of skin so your midsection is finally as tight as the rest of your body.
A flatter, firmer stomach, narrowed waistline, restored core integrity, tighten the abdominal wall musculature, revealing sculpted abs, achieve a more athletic physique
Does not replace active weight loss, results are best maintained through a stable lifestyle
skin laxity, muscle separation (diastasis), stubborn lower abdominal fat, redundant skin "aprons", excess loose skin, stretch marks
Standard surgical risks including scarring, swelling, and temporary numbness.
Not a weight-loss alternative, not a non-invasive treatment like CoolSculpting
When diet and exercise cannot retract loose skin or repair the internal abdominal wall.
The overall cost of an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is affected by anesthesia fees, hospital fees, post-surgery garments, and medications. Price is also impacted by medical tests, surgeon’s fees, and the exact techniques employed.
An abdominoplasty is performed in an outpatient surgery center under general anesthesia. An incision is made below the bikini line and extends from hip to hip. The skin and fat of the abdomen are then raised off of the abdominal muscle. An incision is also made around the umbilicus and the umbilicus is kept attached to the abdominal wall through a stalk. Next, if needed, the rectus muscles are sutured together along the center of the abdomen to tighten the muscles and give definition. The excess lower abdominal skin and fat are then pulled down and removed. A small hole is made in the skin directly over the umbilicus and it is sutured into position. Two to three drains are placed to remove excess fluid. A compression garment is worn for several weeks to minimize swelling. Most patients go home on the same day of surgery. While full recovery from this procedure may take several weeks, most patients can return to work in two to three weeks. Abdominoplasty Procedure PlymouthPatients who only have issues with the lower part of their abdomen may be candidates for mini-abdominoplasty. This involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery. Many patients having an abdominoplasty will combine this with other procedures, such as breast augmentation for a more dramatic body makeover. The TULUA procedure offers potential advantages in terms of vascular safety, sensory recovery, position and quality of the umbilicus, and transverse scar location, with aesthetic outcomes that generally eliminate epigastric bulging. A sizeable patient population stands to benefit from this approach, especially when obesity, smoking, secondary revisions, umbilical or hypogastric hernias, and massive weight loss are clinical considerations for abdominoplasty. A novel approach to abdominoplasty: TULUA modifications (transverse plication, no undermining, full liposuction, neoumbilicoplasty, and low transverse abdominal scar). Following abdominoplasty, patients can expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising. These will disappear in a few weeks. In the early stages of recovery, it’s crucial for patients to rest as much as possible. Time off from work will be required, and it will be necessary to avoid activities like heavy lifting, exercise, and sports for four to six weeks.

Currently planning or anticipating significant future weight loss.
Healthy individuals with realistic expectations and stable weight
My triceps are toned, but there is a 'curtain' of skin hanging over them, is surgery the only way to cut that off?, I want to wear a sleeveless dress for an upcoming wedding, but I'm self-conscious about my saggy arm skin; what are my options?, I feel like I'm 'tucking' my arm skin into my sleeves every morning; how do I get rid of this excess flap permanently?
Individuals bothered by a "saggy" appearance of the upper arms due to aging, gravity, or weight fluctuations., Those who have completed significant weight loss and are left with redundant arm skin., Individuals experiencing a loss of skin elasticity and tone due to aging and gravity., A patient who has reached their goal weight but is self-conscious about "bat wings" at the pool or beach., An individual wanting to wear sleeveless fashions without feeling self-conscious about lack of arm tone.
Can't I just get liposuction to fix my heavy upper arms? Liposuction is great for removing fat, but it does nothing for loose skin. In fact, if you have "crepey" or hanging skin, liposuction alone can make the problem worse by "deflating" the arm and leaving the skin looking even more wrinkled. An Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is specifically designed to remove that redundant "apron" of skin and tighten the underlying tissue, creating a slim, defined arm that finally matches the rest of your fit physique., Where is the scar located, and will everyone see it? Dr. Lytle strategically places the incision along the inner arm or toward the back of the arm where it is most hidden during normal movement. While a full arm lift does result in a linear scar, most patients find that the trade-off—trading hanging, heavy skin for a thin, firm arm—is well worth it, especially when they can finally wear sleeveless clothing again.
Typically a one-time surgical correction.
Immediate improvement in arm contour, increased self-esteem and confidence, access to a wider variety of clothing styles
Results are best optimized after weight loss is complete, significant future weight loss can negatively impact surgical results
"Saggy" upper arms, skin redundancy, difficulty fitting into certain clothing styles, low self-confidence in sleeveless tops
Swelling, soreness for several days, and surgical risks discussed during consultation.
Not a substitute for weight loss, not a non-invasive treatment
When diet and exercise are unable to address excess skin and fat in the upper arms.
The cost of your arm lift will be determined by the techniques used and the amount of work required to provide you with results that satisfy your aesthetic needs. During your consultation, Dr. Lytle can let you know what the expected cost of your arm lift in Plymouth will be and can let you know about the payment options available to you.

Dr. Lytle approaches arm lifts to meet your specific needs. This means adequately assessing the excess skin and excess fat. Each of these components will determine which procedure is best for you. The incisions required are determined by the severity of your condition. Minimal skin excess may be treated with an incision in the armpit alone. Moderate laxity is treated with an incision from the armpit to the elbow. Most patients fall into this category. More severe cases are rare and may require extension of the incision past the elbow onto the forearm. Brachioplasty surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. You should plan to take it easy following your surgery. No strenuous activities, heavy lifting (over 10 pounds), aerobic exercises, swimming, contact sports, tennis, or golf should be planned for the first three weeks. As Dr. Lytle monitors your recovery, he will advise you when it is safe to resume specific activities. You should plan to wear the compression garment for six weeks following surgery. Dr. Lytle will remove the drainage tubes when the drain output has lowered to a safe level. Starting approximately 2 weeks after your surgery, you will have a 2 or 3 massages by our licensed massage therapist. This will be a lymphatic draining massage performed to decrease the amount of swelling and to improve the lymphatic drainage. You will notice an improvement in your arm contour immediately. However, your shape will continue to improve in the following weeks as the mild swelling subsides. You should be up and walking the day following surgery, although your arm will be sore for several days. You should able to resume your normal daily activities within several days following surgery, and you should be able to resume all of your physical activities within three weeks of surgery.

Individuals with loose, hanging skin along the upper/mid-back, patients at a stable target weight after significant weight loss (e.g., bariatric surgery or GLP-1 medications), individuals troubled by stubborn "bra rolls" that do not respond to diet or exercise, non-smokers
I lost all the weight, but why do I still have heavy folds of loose skin hanging across my upper and mid-back?, Why does my bra or swimsuit dig into my back, creating deep, painful rolls that stick out even under loose shirts?, do back extensions and rows constantly, but my back still looks 'wrinkled' and soft—is there a point where exercise stops working?, If I get a surgical lift to remove the extra skin on my back, will the scar be impossible to hide in a tank top or swimwear?
Post-Bariatric - You’ve hit your ultimate weight loss goals, but a massive fold of skin rolls over your waistband and bra strap from behind, hiding your progress., Every time you try on a swimsuit or fitted dress, the fabric pinches your mid-back into multiple overlapping rolls, forcing you to wear baggy clothes.
Can a back lift be combined with liposuction? Absolutely. Many patients combine a bra line lift with targeted liposuction of the flanks or upper back rolls to maximize the definition and smoothness of their new profile., Will my bra completely hide the scar? Yes, Dr. Lytle meticulously plans the incision so that it sits right within your preferred bra style or swimsuit line, ensuring the permanent scar remains entirely discreet under clothing.
Typically a singular, permanent procedure.
A completely smooth, flat back profile, the ability to wear tight-fitting clothes, backless dresses, and swimwear confidently, optimal bra comfort without pinching
Scar Placement: Achieving an upward pull requires a horizontal incision; while it is strategically hidden beneath a standard bra strap or bikini line, the permanent scar is the necessary trade-off for structural skin removal., Weight Stability Required: If you lose a substantial amount of weight after the procedure, the remaining back skin may stretch out and sag again., Lower Back Boundaries: A standard bra line lift dramatically smooths the upper and mid-back, but it will not lift loose skin around the lower hips or buttocks (which requires a lower body lift).
Overhanging "bra fat" rolls, loose and crinkled skin folds on the mid-back, skin-on-skin chafing or irritation under garments, poor clothing fit
Minor wound separation or delayed healing along the bra line incision., Fluid accumulation (seroma) beneath the large back skin flap., Widening or thickening of the scar due to natural movement and tension in the upper body., Temporary or permanent changes to skin sensation in the treated area.
Not Liposuction Alone: Liposuction removes pockets of stubborn fat but cannot shrink or remove stretched-out skin envelopes. A back lift directly cuts away the loose skin., Not an Invasive Fat Reduction Treatment: It is primarily a reconstructive, tissue-contouring procedure designed to treat skin laxity rather than achieve weight reduction.
Use when a patient has completed their weight-loss journey, maintained a stable weight, and is facing the structural issue of deflated back tissue.
During your consultation with Dr. Lytle, he can go over the expected cost of your back lift and let you know about the payment options we offer at Lytle Plastic Surgery.
Consultation: Dr. Lytle measures skin laxity and precisely plans incision placement along your natural bra line. Procedure: The procedure is performed safely under general anesthesia. An incision is made across the mid-back, a strategic horizontal band of excess skin and underlying tissue is physically removed, and the remaining skin is pulled taut. Advanced layered suturing techniques are used to support the high-tension area and produce a smooth contour. Recovery: Initial healing and surgical garment wear take place over 1–2 weeks, with full resolution of swelling over several months.

Upper blepharoplasty addresses drooping eyelids, while lower blepharoplasty tackles under-eye bags. Both procedures aim to restore a refreshed and youthful appearance around the eyes., What are the potential risks and complications of blepharoplasty? Like all surgeries, blepharoplasty carries risks such as infection, bleeding, or more rarely vision changes.

For those not ready for surgery, alternatives include laser resurfacing, injectable fillers, or PRP therapy, which can also help rejuvenate the eye area. Discuss these options with Dr. Lytle to determine the best approach for your needs., What is the difference between an upper and lower blepharoplasty? An upper blepharoplasty, also known as an upper eyelid lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address concerns related to the upper eyelids. As we age, the skin on our upper eyelids may lose elasticity, causing sagging and creating a tired appearance. Upper blepharoplasty aims to remove excess skin and fat deposits, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look. On the other hand, lower blepharoplasty focuses on rejuvenating the lower eyelids. This procedure targets issues such as under-eye bags, excess skin, and wrinkles. Lower blepharoplasty can enhance the contours of the lower eyelids, providing a smoother and more vibrant appearance to the eyes.

Dr. Lytle will ask questions about the patient’s health, medical records, and specific concerns during the blepharoplasty consultation. He will also carefully examine the patient’s eyelids. From there, Dr. Lytle will explain the surgical process and the expected results. Patients can take this opportunity to ask questions about the procedure and bring up any concerns that they may have. They can also discuss cost and any other procedures or treatments that they want to pair with the blepharoplasty. For a Blepharoplasty, an incision is made in the eyelid crease, skin and sometimes muscle and fat are cut away. The cut edges are brought together and sutured. Following the blepharoplasty procedure, the patient’s eyelids and surrounding area may be swollen and bruised. Patients may also experience mild discomfort during the early stages of the recovery period. Patients are advised to rest as much as possible while they are recovering. It will be best to prepare their bedroom specifically for this purpose.

Risks vary based on the procedure performed and individual health factors., Is it safe to combine multiple plastic surgery procedures? In many cases, combining procedures can be performed safely. The safety of combining plastic surgeries depends on overall health, operative time, and recovery considerations.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Lytle will inquire about your medical history, prior procedures, medications, allergies, and your motivations for seeking plastic surgery. After reviewing your medical history, Dr. Lytle will discuss your concerns, priorities and motivations for pursuing plastic surgery, as well as your fears. After examining you, Dr. Lytle will be able to offer advice and options to help you achieve the appearance you desire. He will explain the advantages and disadvantages of the different options you have before you.

Targeting fat underneath the chin and around the jawline through dieting and exercise can be incredibly difficult. Kybella injections easily target and permanently destroy submental fat and give the chin and jawline a sleeker and more defined appearance. Kybella is a liquid formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule our body that helps break down dietary fat. This formula was derived from the natural liquid produced in your gallbladder that breaks down dietary fats we consume. This purified form, Kybella, is a quick and effective way for patients to improve their cosmetic concerns and enhance their jawline and neck contour. Once Kybella is injected into the unwanted fat, it destroys the fat cells, making them unable to store or accumulate future fat.

The injections are well-tolerated, and any discomfort is usually brief. After the treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling, which should subside within a few hours. There is no recovery period after a Botox treatment. Aftercare practices such as avoiding rubbing the treatment areas for at least 24 hours or skipping a sauna day do not interfere with regular activities. Results are visible in one to three days.

Under age 18 (saline) or 22 (silicone), if currently breastfeeding, if expecting major weight fluctuations
Healthy individuals with realistic goals, age 18+ for saline, 22+ for silicone
Why do my hips and thighs look so much larger than my chest in every outfit?, I feel like my frame is 'unbalanced'. Is there a way to get an hourglass figure without looking 'fake'?, I’m tired of my dresses and blazers gapping at the chest. Can implants help my clothes fit properly?, One of my breasts is a full cup size smaller than the other. Can implants finally make them look like 'sisters'?
Women (18+ for saline, 22+ for silicone) who feel their breasts are underdeveloped, sagging, uneven, or who simply desire increased volume., Active women seeking to restore or enhance their figure after lifestyle changes or naturally small breast development., Looking for a natural-looking enhancement that fits their frame and improves clothing options., Individuals seeking to correct breast asymmetry or developmental differences., A patient wishing to correct one breast being noticeably smaller than the other., A woman wanting to fill out her swimsuit or dresses with improved proportions.
Will my breast implant rupture during a mammogram? While there have been cases of breast implant rupture following mammograms, it is highly unlikely that this would occur. Breast implants are rather durable and can withstand the forces associated with mammograms. Because your health and safety are the number one priority, it is important that you do not skip your mammogram just because you have breast implants!, How Are Mammograms Performed with Implants? To ensure adequate mammograms, it is important to let the mammography center know that you have breast implants. The technician and radiologist should be familiar with performing mammograms on women with implants. They may elect to do special techniques known as “implant displacement views” in order to visualize all areas of the breast. So, accurate mammograms can still be performed after breast augmentation, although a slightly different technique may be used to obtain the image., Where will my implant be placed? Dr. Lytle uses both submuscular (behind muscle) and subglandular (behind tissue) placement when performing breast augmentation. There are advantages to each method and depending on your anatomy, including factors such as muscle thickness, original breast size, and skin thickness, we will help you decide which method of placement is right for you., What type of implant should I use? There are two types of breast implants: saline breast implants and silicone breast implants. Both are made of an outer silicone shell. Where they differ is the substance that is inside the implant. Saline implants are filled with a sterile salt-water solution, while silicone implants contain a thicker silicone gel. Both types come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. Choose Saline when you prioritize the smallest possible surgical scar and want the "peace of mind" of immediate leak detection through simple deflation. Choose Silicone when your top priority is a soft, natural-to-the-touch result that closely resembles original breast tissue.
Typically a single primary surgery, periodic MRI scans (every 2-3 years) recommended for silicone implants

We offer our patients a complimentary consultation so they may learn and explore your options without feeling obligated. During this time you would learn more about Dr. Lytle, our practice, and our unique approach toward breast augmentation and other plastic surgery procedures in Plymouth. More importantly, we learn about you, your goals, your concerns, and your “likes and dislikes,” so that we can design a plan that is just right for you. We have breast implants available for you to see and feel. We also use a precise sizing system based on your anatomy measurements to help make decisions on implant size. Dr. Lytle will perform a physical exam to evaluate the size, shape, symmetry, and elasticity of your skin. He will also look at your height, your frame, and your overall proportions.We meet again for a pre-op visit one to two weeks prior to surgery to review our plan and make sure you are comfortable and well-prepared. During the procedure, patients are placed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. A small incision is usually made in the breast crease. He then creates a space or “pocket” into which the breast implant is inserted. The implant is placed either directly behind the breast tissue (sub-glandular) or behind the pectoral muscle (sub-pectoral). A sizer (a temporary implant) is first placed into this pocket to be certain that the selected implant has the desired volume and fit. If not, a different sizer is placed until the desired volume and shape are obtained. After carefully assessing the breast for size, shape, and symmetry, the implant is placed. The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures and surgical glue. A small gauze dressing and the surgical bra are applied. The surgery usually takes about 1-2 hours. Following surgery, you will be monitored in the recovery room until you are completely awake and alert. Because of his gentle technique, there is no need for drainage tubes or wraps. Instead, you are placed in a surgical bra. Most patients are feeling good and are ready for discharge after a brief observation period. The majority of women can be off of pain medication and back to their normal routine (with some limitations, of course) in a matter of days. We see you in the office several times over the course of the next year for continued evaluation. All sutures are dissolvable and hidden beneath the skin, so there are no stitches to remove.

Consultation: During a consultation for a breast lift procedure, your medical history will be discussed, including previous surgeries and any medications currently being taken. This will help ensure that breast lift surgery is right for you. The doctor will address expectations and any concerns regarding the procedure. There will also be an examination of the breasts to take measurements. Finally, Dr. Lytle will formulate the best surgical plan for your case and then set a date for the surgery. The Breast Lift Procedure: A breast lift procedure will start with general anesthesia being administered to the patient. Next, based on the patient’s breast size, shape, and position, a suitable incision pattern will be used. After the incision, the breasts will be reshaped and lifted to improve contours. Any excess skin will be removed to address sagging, and any shape asymmetries can also be addressed. If enlarged, the areola can be addressed with the breast lift procedure. It may also be repositioned for a balanced look. Once the breasts have been properly lifted and have been given the desired shape and firmness, the remaining breast skin will be tightened and the incisions will be closed. Recovery: There will be some bruising and swelling around the breasts following your breast lift procedure. A compression garment will need to be worn during your recovery to provide additional support. patients typically need around two weeks to recover from their breast lift.

While you are standing, Dr. Lytle performs precise anatomical marking. He maps out exactly where skin needs to be removed so that the final incision is hidden within your natural "bikini or thong line." The Procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a surgical suite. Unlike an augmentation, the focus here is "excision and elevation." Dr. Lytle removes the excess "apron" of skin and fat from the upper buttock/lower back area. Once the redundant tissue is removed, the remaining skin is pulled upward and anchored. This tightens the entire lower body profile, smoothing out the appearance of the outer thighs and lower back as well. Small surgical drains may be placed to prevent fluid buildup, and you are immediately placed in a medical-grade compression garment to hold your new shape in place. To ensure the skin heals flat and smooth, Dr. Lytle includes 2–3 post-operative lymphatic massages starting at the two-week mark. This significantly cuts down on swelling and stiffness.
Skin concerns like acne scars, sun damage, and uneven tone can affect confidence. Lytle Plastic Surgery offers chemical peels to improve skin clarity and texture using customized, physician-supervised treatment plans. A chemical peel is a non-surgical skin treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the outer layer of skin. This controlled resurfacing process stimulates collagen production, encouraging new, healthier skin to emerge. Depending on the strength of the peel, it can address surface-level and deeper skin imperfections.

Patients who want to look younger and more rejuvenated can undergo a SkinPen microneedling treatment. This procedure will help make the skin produce more collagen, thus reversing signs of aging and providing the patient with a healthy glow. Microneedling is also referred to as collagen induction therapy. It uses tiny microneedles to prick the skin, penetrating through the skin layers to create very small punctures. This will then stimulate the skin’s healing process, producing more elastin and collagen. These proteins help make the skin smoother, more youthful, and more elastic. Lytle Plastic Surgery uses the ProGen PRP system in tandem with SkinPen to produce the best microneedling results. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is produced when a small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a sterile, disposable container and then, spun to separate the platelets from the blood sample. The combination of PRP with microneedling helps the effectiveness of the treatment as well as the healing process.
Achieve a smooth complexion and a youthful glow with dermaplaning. You can rid your face of peach fuzz, reduce the appearance of the signs of aging, and brighten dark spots with this skin treatment. The primary use of dermaplaning is to get rid of peach fuzz on the face. During a dermaplaning session, the dermatologist or esthetician uses a medical-grade scalpel to scrape (not cut!) across the surface of the skin. The main reason people do it is to remove the vellus hairs on their faces, also known as peach fuzz.

Liposuction is a procedure that is done in an outpatient setting. Most patients are functional within a few days to a week after the procedure. The incisions are barely visible. Patients are placed in a compression garment for several weeks to a few months to minimize swelling and improve overall contour.

The entire procedure will last about 20 minutes or so, depending on the size of the target area.
During a microneedling consultation, patients will be asked a series of questions pertaining to their goals, expectations, and overall health. Dr. Lytle will examine their cosmetic concerns to make sure that they can be effectively treated with microneedling. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that can be conducted in the office. It involves the use of a SkinPen, which houses 12 sterilized microneedles. The first step is the application of numbing cream on the target areas. A special gel is also applied to the skin, which will help the SkinPen smoothly glide over the skin. Next, the SkinPen will be guided across the skin, allowing its microneedles to puncture the target areas for collagen production. It will take three passes to completely cover the spots with the right number of punctures to achieve the desired results. The entire procedure will last about 20 minutes or so, depending on the size of the target area. No recovery time or downtime is needed after a treatment session. The special gel applied before the microneedling treatment helps in the rapid healing of the punctures created by the needles. This will be aided by another layer of the gel once the procedure is done to completely protect the sensitive skin. The patient will be then provided a supply of this gel, which they will be instructed to apply for a time. Patients can expect to see results within four weeks following the procedure as new collagen is formed.

It's a great option before events or as part of a maintenance routine., How is this different from a regular facial? Unlike spa facials, which work mainly on the surface, Rezenerate delivers medical-grade results by enhancing absorption below the top layer of your skin. This allows serums to penetrate more deeply, more effectively targeting skin concerns., Can I combine Rezenerate with other treatments? Yes. Many patients pair Rezenerate with microneedling, chemical peels, or injectables to maximize their results. We'll help you design a treatment plan and schedule for your skin goals.
Immediate dewy glow, Improved hydration and texture, Long-term skin strengthening and clarity
While it improves fine lines and texture, it is not a replacement for surgical lifting or deep wrinkle correction.
Dull/tired skin, uneven texture, fine lines, dryness, occasional breakouts
Extremely low risk; some patients may experience a very mild, temporary flush that fades quickly.
Not a traditional facial (it works below the surface), Not microneedling (it does not use metal needles or reach deep dermis layers)
When your topical products aren't absorbing well or you need an approachable, effective skin "reset."
Treatment costs vary depending on whether you’re scheduling a single session or integrating Rezenerate into a larger skincare plan. We’ll discuss all the options at your consultation and give you clear, upfront pricing with no surprises. Patients often find that this one treatment replaces a shelf full of less effective products, making it a worthwhile investment in long-term skin health. We also offer the option to combine Rezenerate with other services for enhanced results.
We begin every session with a personalized consultation to understand your goals. Then, we choose the serum that best suits your skin—brightening, hydrating, calming, or age-defying. As the Rezenerate wand glides over your face, it gently polishes the skin and allows the serum to sink deep where it’s most effective. Most patients describe it as relaxing, with a cool, light sensation that feels more like a spa experience than a medical procedure. After the treatment, your skin will feel smoother and brighter. There is no downtime, so you can return to your day with a healthy, dewy finish. Some people experience a mild flush, but it fades quickly. The results build over time, especially with regular treatments. Over the next few days, your skin will improve in hydration, tone, and texture, and your usual skincare products will become more effective thanks to enhanced absorption.

MD, FACS (Fellow of the American College of Surgeons)
Dr. Lytle's Background: A Michigan native, Dr. Ian F. Lytle, MD grew up in Rochester, Michigan. He attended Alma College graduating with a Bachelor of Art with a Double Major in both Fine Arts and Biology. He then completed his Masters in Science at Wayne State University. Dr. Lytle then started his medical training and attended Wayne State Medical School in Detroit, Michigan. After graduation, he continued his training in General Surgery at the University Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. Following this, Dr. Lytle became a Research Fellow at the University of Michigan, Section of Plastic Surgery and then continued his training as a Plastic Surgery Fellow at the University of Michigan. For 6 years, Dr. Lytle worked in a group practice setting in Ann Arbor. Following this, Dr. Lytle has branched off on his own, starting Lytle Plastic Surgery in 2015 to better serve the people of Plymouth, Northville, and the Downriver communities. Dr. Lytle is focused on treating a wide range of surgical needs including cosmetic conditions of the breast, body and face. Dr. Lytle is a Board Certified Surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Lytle's Philosophy: Aesthetic Details: I truly believe that my training in sculpture and painting along with my love for aesthetic beauty influences my surgical techniques. There are several aspects of art that can be directly related to plastic surgery. First, there is vision or seeing how an object can be transformed. Second, there is the calculated planning of how to make the “before” become the “after.” Next, there is the physical use of the hands. I feel that the same techniques used in sculpting clay can be compared to reconstructing a breast or the chiseling of marble to sculpting the body. Lastly, both fine art and plastic surgery are all about the fine details that should never get overlooked. Inspiration: During my general surgery training I rotated on the plastic surgery service and was able to see, first hand, what plastic surgery was really all about. I was able to participate in both elaborate reconstructive procedures and life-changing cosmetic procedures. It was during this time that I was able to understand the real breadth of the field of plastic surgery. It was inspiring. Diversity: I love the challenge and diversity of my job. No two patients are alike nor are two surgeries ever the same. In this profession, I may be working on a cosmetic body procedure in the morning, a breast cancer reconstruction in the afternoon and a facial trauma in the evening. I have reconstructed ears, removed and reconstructed entire noses, removed and reconstructed eyelids, cheeks and lips. As humans we relate by direct interactions with each other and right or wrong, we often define ourselves by what we see in the mirror. It is very satisfying to be able to make my patients not only look like themselves again, but also help them forget about the devastation that trauma and cancer can cause and allow them to function in daily activities again. Craftsmanship: If I had to define what inspires me with one word, it would be craftsmanship. I look back at the cars of the 30’s and 40’s and see the beautiful lines that the designers used to transform a mode of transportation into an object of art. I look at the architecture of the 1920’s and see the carved stone and woodwork that artisans expertly executed and realize that a home or office does not need to be a cold rectangular building. I look to the Art Nouveau movement and see how artists like Louis C.Tiffany, Alphonse Mucha, and Hector Guimard saw beauty in nature and presented back to us. I surround myself with these images and try to live my life with these same ideals of craftsmanship.
