Anyone with significant weight loss are left with residual folds of skin and fat excess that can appear unsightly. A body lift removes the excess loose skin and fat to contour and reshape your body to a slimmer and more beautiful you.
Significant weight loss most commonly results in loose excess skin from around the chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks. There can be difficulty in maintaining hygiene underneath these skin folds, resulting in itching, rashes, and even infection. Despite the weight loss, there can be difficulty in fitting into the right clothes and affect your self-confidence.
