 Weight Loss Surgery procedures have increased dramatically in the last few years. Thousands of patients each year are benefiting from reduction in diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, and other serious medical problems of obesity. Many if not all such patients are left with tremendous amounts of excess skin when their weight loss is completed – usually about a year or so after the procedure. In most patients, the skin had been stretched beyond its elastic limits. In other words, no amount of muscle “toning”, lifting, gym work, or other activity will adequately rid the patient of this skin excess. Often, the excess skin can cause medical problems including rashes and infections. It can also prevent the patient from wearing appropriately fitting clothing.
We have an extensive experience here in body recontouring after Weight Loss Procedures including panniculectomy (removal of excess abdominal skin), brachioplasty (removal of excess upper arm skin), breast lift, thigh lift, lower body lift and neck lift.
In our experience,We will go over the risks and benefits in detail of the various skin removal procedures that may apply to you.
