Skin Flap Surgery Allows Body Contouring

Skin flap surgery is a general term for several procedures that allow CosMed Clinic’s US board-certified surgeons to contour your body.  These techniques are particularly useful after dramatic weight loss from surgery, dieting, or medical conditions.  The removal of excess skin, or sagging skin, or the use of fillers (particularly in the face) allows our skilled cosmetic surgeons to restore your skin to a more appropriate look.  Many of these procedures are designed to help patients look and feel better after dramatic weight loss, or even from the aging process.

Some of the techniques that can be used to deal with excess skin include:

  • Skin flap surgery - general term for the removal of excess or sagging skin that can involve various techniques
  • Abdominoplasty - aka “tummy tuck” is a major surgical procedure to remove skin, fat deposits and in general tone the abdomen where most people have excess fat;  this procedures can be cosmetic or medically necessary particularly after drastic weight loss from other procedures, or after the use of bariatric procedures (lap band surgery)
  • Liposuction – a surgical procedure to remove fatty tissue deposits throughout the body
  • Liposculpture – body contouring procedures to remove fat deposits throughout the body, arms, thighs, abdomen for instance
  • Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL) – a less invasive process derived from liposculpture and tumescent procedures that allow the surgeon to target very specific fatty deposits; UAL allows compression of the skin, delivers more precise results, and, has been shown to be less painful than many other procedures and allows the patient to recover more quickly
  • Body lifts – various techniques allowing the lifting and tightening of skin, particularly useful in work on breasts, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms;  these procedures range from purely cosmetic to medically necessary after dramatic weight loss from dieting, medication regimens, disease, and other surgical procedures
  • Non-surgical procedures – including BOTOX, laser work, and fillers (including fat from other areas of the body) allow more precise work on wrinkles, facial rejuvenation, and other uses for general body contouring work
