If you have lost a significant amount of weight due to bariatric surgery, diet and exercise, you may find yourself with unwanted excess skin. Not only do patients struggle with the appearance of this loose skin, but it can be uncomfortable and often causes chafing, rashes, and even infections. Many people opt to have this extra skin removed, and plastic surgery is an excellent option to help alleviate this problem. This specific type of plastic surgery is commonly referred to as Body contouring surgery. Body contouring includes a variety of different surgical procedures that target the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue. These procedures aim to tighten the loose skin around the musculoskeletal structure to help meet the needs and desires of the patient.
Here are some benefits of body contouring surgery:
- Removal of excess skin
- Tightening of loose skin
- Procedures are specific to each patient’s personal concerns
- Eliminates overhanging skin that can cause rashes, chafing, and infections
- More aesthetically pleasing appearance
- Improved self-confidence
- Improved self-image
- Better fitting clothes
