Excess Skin Removal Following Massive Weight Loss
Dr. Starnes performs the following types of skin removal following massive weight loss. These procedures remove excess skin and subcutaneous fat following weight loss surgery.
Panniculectomy
A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure to remove excess hanging skin and fat called a pannus or “apron” from the lower abdomen after a big weight loss. A panniculectomy isn’t a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), a procedure done for cosmetic and aesthetic reasons.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty — also known as a tummy tuck — is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen. During an abdominoplasty, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia) usually is tightened with sutures as well.
Thighplasty
Thighplasty is a procedure to tighten and improve the overall appearance of thighs. Candidates for this procedure have loss of skin elasticity in the thigh or have thighs with a saggy, dimpled or flabby appearance which improves dramatically if the loose skin is lifted.
Brachioplasty
Brachioplasty (arm lift) removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to improve contour and address loose, hanging skin after significant weight loss.
