Surgery usually requires an overnight stay in the hospital and at least two weeks away from work and play. The scar will be across the top of your buttock, but will be hidden in most clothing and swimwear. The surgery is extensive, but the outcome can be gratifying. During surgery, excess skin is removed circumferentially around the trunk and the remaining skin is tightened. The patient is left with a tighter and more attractive body from front to back and side to side.
Surgery requires one to two days in the hospital.
Most take three to four weeks off work.
