Have you recently lost a lot of weight? While weight loss can be a confidence booster and help with a person’s general health, it can result in excess skin. Fortunately, there are many solutions for excess skin.
Arm lift
After weight loss, having saggy arms is quite common. However, because your arms are often more noticable than other areas such as your thighs, an arm lift is often seen as necessary.
An arm lift is a surgery which consists of both liposuction and skin removal. This surgery helps to drastically reduce the size of the arms. By reducing the size of the arms it will help to restore confidence as well as relieving any physical pain.
Breast lift / reduction
As breasts mainly consist of fat, they may lose volume after weight loss. Some may just choose a breast reduction to reduce the size of their breasts to match their new body size or they may choose to have a breast lift. A breast reduction involves removing skin and tissue, whereas a lift just removes skin in order to make the breasts more ‘perky’.
Abdominoplasty
An abdominoplasty otherwise referred to as a tummy tuck, is a great way to get rid of excess skin on the stomach. With abdominoplasty, liposuction is first performed to remove any excess fat and then the excess skin is removed to leave a flat stomach. This is not only a great option for those who have had a rapid or large weight loss but is also suitable for those who were pregnant.
Thigh lift
A thigh lift will be able to remove any droopy skin that remains in between the thighs. Liposuction is performed alongside the skin removal to give the patient the best results possible.
The surgeries are not compulsory but they may boost some people’s confidence and may help to get rid of any pain and discomfort from the excess skin. Where ever you go make sure you find a safe and reputable surgeon.
