How excessive skin removal is carried out?

Weigh loss affects the whole body, thus, excessive skin can be found in all body sites. Depending on the individual situation, more than one surgery may be required to remove the excessive skin, therefore you in advance with the surgeon will discuss the plan of surgery, that can be implemented in several months and sometimes may require up to one year to be completed. The treatment usually starts from the site that makes the biggest discomfort to the patient. Often this is a waist area.

A post-surgical recovery will depend on the surgery extent. Usually it is recommended to start walking and moving as early as possible, however to avoid intensive physical activities for at lest several weeks, the patient is not allowed to lift heavy items and to experience strain. Swelling and bruising usually resolve within 2–3 week. The surgeon will provide you with recommendations for post-operative care and successful healing.
