Incredible Body Makeovers

After Stacey lost weight through surgery, she still needed further surgery to get rid of her excess weight. As many as 10 complicated and painful procedures were required, including a breast reduction and a face-lift.

"Even after the weight is gone, some of the skin loses its elasticity," explains Stacey's doctor, Dr. Mark Lidagoster. "Bodies bounce back better when they're younger, but at the point of weight gain where some of the formerly obese are, the body has stretched to such a degree that it's surpassed its ability to bounce back."
