Losing a significant amount of weight is a remarkable achievement, but for many, it can leave behind excess skin that impacts comfort and confidence. Delaware plastic surgery offers practical solutions through skin removal procedures for those seeking transformation. These treatments help enhance the body’s shape and restore a more toned, smooth appearance after weight loss.

What is excess skin removal?

Delaware plastic surgery includes skin removal surgeries to eliminate excess skin and reshape body areas that haven’t tightened after weight loss. These surgeries help eliminate sagging skin, creating a more defined silhouette, whether around the abdomen, arms, thighs, or other locations.

Why do patients opt for excess skin removal?

After significant weight loss, the skin often loses elasticity and cannot conform to the body’s new size. This can result in loose, hanging skin that causes discomfort, chafing, and irritation. Skin removal surgery, performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon Delaware, allows patients to feel comfortable in their bodies again and have more pride in their weight loss journey.
