Before massive weight loss, the skin is stretched to facilitate the excess tissue beneath the skin, much like a woman's abdomen does in pregnancy. After bariatric surgery and massive weight loss, patients are left with redundant skin in several areas. Problem areas are usually the arms, the breasts, the abdomen, the back and the thighs.
There are several techniques which can be used alone or in combination to achieve the best result. These include ultrasonic liposuction, convetional liposuction, skin and fat resection. The procedures needed may be combined or divided into sections depending on the patients specific needs.
