Common Areas Treated With Skin Removal Surgery

Losing a large amount of weight is a major accomplishment that deserves to be celebrated. But after that hard work, loose or hanging skin sometimes keeps you from fully enjoying your results. 

At Bella Cosmetic Surgery in National Harbor, Maryland, Dr. Michael Chiaramonte, a board-certified plastic surgeon, can refine your shape through skin removal procedures. Knowing where skin removal surgery can make the biggest difference will help you picture your final results more clearly.

Abdomen and Waist

The abdomen is one of the most common areas where people carry excess skin after weight loss. Procedures like a tummy tuck or panniculectomy remove loose folds of skin around the stomach and waist. You may also notice relief from skin irritation and improved posture once the extra weight of hanging skin is gone.

Arms and Thighs

Loose skin often tends to linger in the upper arms and inner thighs. An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, reshapes the upper arms, while a thigh lift can tighten and smooth the skin from the hips to the knees. Both procedures can make clothing fit better and restore confidence in showing more skin during warmer months.

Chest and Breasts

After major weight loss, the chest and breasts can lose volume and firmness. Women often choose a breast lift to restore a natural shape, and men may benefit from chest contouring to remove stretched skin. These procedures help the upper body look more proportional to the rest of your figure.

Back and Buttocks

Excess skin along the back, hips, and buttocks can cause discomfort and affect how clothing fits. Lower body lifts or buttock lifts are great ways to reshape these areas.

Combining Procedures for Full-Body Contouring

If you want a more complete transformation, we can combine several skin removal procedures into one surgical plan. Dr. Chiaramonte often performs combination treatments such as the Bella Body Lift, which blends tummy tuck and liposuction techniques to contour the abdomen, waist, and flanks in a single procedure. In some cases, we may be able to add an arm, thigh, or breast lift.
