Skin Reduction and Body Contouring

Skin reduction and body contouring surgery following gastric bypass surgery such as tapering of upper arms, inner thighs and brassiere line bulges.

Women and men who have experienced significant weight loss through gastric bypass or other weight loss methods often seek plastic surgery to reduce excess skin and contour the body. 

This area of body contouring has developed rapidly in recent years, primarily due to the different ways people lose weight on their body. While one patient will lose weight evenly overall, others will retain some areas of fat that did not melt away. Also, there is great variation in the degree to which skin tightens up on each part of the body.
