While everyone’s body is different, many people require body contouring after rapid weight loss. Loose, floppy, and sagging skin is incredibly common following weight loss from bariatric surgery. This skin creates a lumpy and uneven result, increases risks for rash and skin irritation, impedes body movement, and can obscure the results obtained through your procedure.
For people with exceptional skin elasticity, the skin may eventually shrink to fit the frame’s new dimensions. For others, loose and sagging skin will be permanent. If you fall into the latter category, surgical excision of the skin is the only reliable solution.
