Skin Removal Surgery After Weight Loss
BODY LIFT
Losing a tremendous amount of weight is a life-changing achievement. Some patients require body-contouring procedures to address the excess skin and fatty tissue that can remain after weight loss.
Excess skin mostly affects people who have experienced significant weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery, diet, or exercise. When you carry excess weight, your skin and tissues stretch to accommodate your larger size. However, this stretching causes the skin and tissues to lose elasticity. As a result, when you lose weight, the stretched skin may not be able to conform to your new body shape, leading to sagging and loose skin.
If you are struggling with excess skin after weight loss, you may take the help of plastic surgery for loose skin. At Gigi Lilly Clinics, we offer a range of excess skin removal procedures, such as tummy tucks, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and body lifts, tailored to individual needs.
What is involved in body lift surgery?
Skin removal surgery is a range of body contouring procedures performed after significant weight loss, or child brith to remove excess skin folds on the arms, legs, torso and/or buttocks to help patients achieve a more natural, aesthetically pleasing shape. Usually, same pattients prefers also adding breast lift surgeries as well to those combination of surgeries. If you are bothered by excess skin after losing weight, getting rid of it can dramatically improve your comfort and boost your confidence, gets you back on mobility, even will change your intimate relationship with your partner and help you exercise more easily and improve the way your clothes fit.
Who performs body lift surgery?
Skin removal surgery is a specialized subset of cosmetic surgery and should only be performed by a highly experienced, qualified cosmetic surgeon with specific training in body contouring procedures. For your safety and to ensure a beautiful outcome, make sure any surgeon you are considering regularly performs body contouring after weight. Reconstructive Surgeons have special training on this matter.
Contrary to popular belief, these procedures are not just a process of cutting and removing skin. As weight is gained, new veins are formed in the underlying tissue, many small capillary veins and often the muscles in the area are cut and shortened, and the internal and external tissues are brought into harmony. Reconstructive training for this process, which must be carried out with extreme care, is important to achieve the desired outcome.

What Are the Types of Excess Skin Removal Procedures?
Several different procedures can address excess skin in various areas of the body. The most common types of excess skin removal procedures include:
-
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): It removes excess skin from upper arms, tightening and toning them for a defined contour.
-
Breast Lift (Mastopexy): It tightens breast tissue and removes excess skin, resulting in firmer and lifted breasts.
-
Facelift (Rhytidectomy): It addresses excess facial and neck skin, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.
-
Lower Body Lift: It targets excess skin and fat in multiple areas like the stomach, buttocks, and outer thighs for a sculpted lower body.
-
Panniculectomy: It removes excess skin below the belly button to improve the appearance and function of the abdominal area.
-
Thigh Lift: It enhances inner thigh contours by removing excess skin.
-
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): It targets excess skin and restores muscle tone for a flatter and more defined abdomen.
Lower body lift (circumferential body lift)
A lower body lift tightens tissues on the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. It is one of the most common post weight loss procedures, and also one of the most extensive. Surgery involves a long incision, placed just above the hip bone, which runs around the circumference of the body. Through this incision, the cosmetic surgeon tightens stretched abdominal muscles (similar to a tummy tuck), removes excess, sagging skin from the front and back of the torso, and lifts the remaining tissues to restore a firmer, shapelier lower body appearance.
Lower Body Lift vs Tummy Tuck(Apronectomy) and extended Tummy Tuck ( Abdominoplasty)
An extended abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address stubborn fat and excess skin horizontally in the abdominal area. Unlike traditional abdominoplasty, this procedure involves a larger incision from hip to hip. Typically, a skilled plastic surgeon will place the incision between the pubic bone and belly button, allowing the scar to be easily concealed with clothing. The incision follows the natural contours of the body around the abdomen, extending into the hips and almost reaching the back. This approach avoids the need to turn the patient over during surgery. Extended abdominoplasty is an excellent option for body contouring, especially for individuals who have undergone massive weight loss, bariatric surgery, or pregnancies.
A tummy tuck is where we remove excess belly skin and reshape your abdomen area only. A body lift is a more intense version that also takes care of your back and sides, offering a significant overhaul of the center of your physique.
Panniculectomy
Many weight loss patients are left with a significant “apron” of skin, called a pannus, hanging from below the belly button. A panniculectomy removes this apron of skin to restore a smoother, firmer torso. The incision is similar to that for a tummy tuck, located just above the pubic bone. While a panniculectomy can dramatically improve a patient’s comfort and help clothing fit better, it will not significantly tighten abdominal contours when performed as a standalone procedure.
Thigh & buttock lift
Dramatic weight loss often results in an excess of skin gathered around the buttocks and thighs. A thigh and buttock lift removes excess skin and fat and restores a firmer, smoother, and more slender appearance to the legs and buttocks. This procedure can help jeans and shorts fit much more comfortably, as well as achieve a more youthful, shapely appearance to the legs and lower body.
Incisions for thigh and buttock lift surgery vary depending on the location and amount of skin to be removed. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will place incisions in the least conspicuous places possible, such as the groin, the natural crease beneath the buttocks or low on the hips, where scars can be concealed by a swimsuit.
Upper body lift procedures
Extra skin on the upper body can result in “bra rolls,” sagging breasts, or loose, hanging skin on the upper arms. Upper body lift surgery targets these areas to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. Procedure options include:
-
Arm lift. Through an incision along the underside of the upper arm, loose skin and excess fat are removed to restore a firmer, shapelier upper arm appearance.
-
Back lift/ bra line lift. This procedure often combines liposuction and skin removal to reduce “bra rolls” and restore a smoother, firmer upper back contour. Incisions are typically located along the bra line, where scars can be easily concealed by clothing.
-
Breast lift surgery. Many female patients are bothered by sagging or “deflated” breasts following weight loss. A breast lift removes excess skin and reshapes the breast to achieve a firmer, lifted contour and improve symmetry. Breast implants can be placed during a breast lift to restore lost volume or increase size.

How soon will I see results after excess skin removal surgery?
After excess skin removal surgery, it is important to understand that visible results may not be immediate. Your body requires time to heal properly, both between procedures and after the final surgery. In most cases, it can take up to two years to see the final results from body contouring. Patience and adherence to your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions are essential for achieving optimal and long-lasting outcomes. We highly suggest our pattients to have supplemet intake regularly with eating proper amount of food and taking necessary fluids.

While it is possible to become pregnant after an extended abdominoplasty, it is generally recommended to postpone the procedure until you have completed your family planning.
