Body contouring procedures are standard to improve the overall look of skin, particularly after weight loss from surgery or other conditions.  After some procedures, or even after trauma, many people are left with excess skin, sagging skin, or unsightly scarring.  Your overall appearance and skin condition can be improved by common cosmetic procedures, surgical and non-surgical.

Surgical procedures for removing excess skin after weight loss include:

  • Body contouring procedures including:
    • Abdominoplasty (extended or modified, aka “tummy tuck”) – this is usually a major surgical procedure lasting up to five hours to remove fat and to tighten the abdominal wall muscles
    • Liposuction – and related procedures to remove fat; other procedures include lipoplasty, suction lipectomy, tumescence, liposculpture (Ultrasonic Liposculpture or UAL has been shown to dramatically reduce recovery time, tighten skin, and deliver very precise results)
    • Buttock lift/augmentation/implants – designed to restore sagging skin and problematic muscles in the buttocks after weight loss or surgery


  • Surgery after weight loss including:
    • Brachioplasty – or arm lift, removing excess skin after weight loss, sagging skin from aging or after surgery, tone muscles
    • Lower body lift – frequently performed after bariatric surgery (lap band) or pregnancy to remove sagging skin and tone over-distended muscles
    • Inner thigh lift – to remove sagging skin, after dieting, after surgery, tone muscles
    • Full body lift – procedures to remove sagging or excess skin throughout the body, usually after dramatic weight loss of obese patients; also general skin tucks
    • Bariatric (lap band) – invasive surgical procedure to tighten the stomach and remove some capacity, recovery times can be extensive, used primarily on excessively obese patients
