Excess skin is a common issue that can arise from various factors such as significant weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural aging process. When skin loses its elasticity, it can become loose and sagging, leading to both physical discomfort and emotional challenges.
Physically, excess skin can cause irritation, rashes, and infections in skin folds where moisture and bacteria accumulate, making hygiene more difficult. Beyond these issues, excess skin often affects self-esteem and body image, leaving individuals feeling self-conscious even after achieving important milestones like weight loss or childbirth.
Fortunately, there are several surgical options to effectively address excess skin, tailored to the area and severity. For the abdomen, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes extra skin and fat while tightening underlying muscles. For patients with extensive excess skin after massive weight loss, a lower body lift can improve the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks in one comprehensive procedure.
Other targeted surgeries include:
While surgical removal provides the most dramatic and lasting results, non-surgical treatments such as laser therapy, radiofrequency, and ultrasound-based skin tightening may offer modest improvements for mild laxity. However, these options typically cannot achieve the same level of correction as surgery.
The best treatment approach is highly individualized. Consulting with an experienced surgeon at GVSA is essential to develop a personalized plan that considers your goals, health, and the location and amount of excess skin. During your consultation, your surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your needs and guide you toward the most effective and safe solution to help you feel confident in your skin again.
