Excess skin removal can address loose, hanging skin and help you complete your weight loss journey.
in Scottsdale, Phoenix & Chandler, AZ
Introduction
After weight-loss surgery or significant weight loss, the skin and tissues often lack elasticity and fail to conform to the patient’s reduced body size. This severely stretched skin may result in sagging upper arms, flattened breasts, or an abdominal area that extends like an apron around the sides of the waist.
Excessive, unsupported skin after weight-loss surgery may also lead to hanging skin pockets in the thighs, groin, and buttocks. Phoenix and Scottsdale plastic surgeons Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi perform excess skin removal surgery to help patients achieve a smoother, well-contoured skin profile after substantial weight loss.
Annoying, unsightly, and excess skin can naturally result from weight loss or aging. This treatment aims to remove excess skin from the face, neck, and abdomen. Our Scottsdale cosmetic surgeons at Elite Plastic Surgery will recommend the best procedure option(s) for you, depending on your problem areas.
Your Arizona skin removal treatment options may feature one or any combination of the following procedures:
Patients unhappy with drooping, sagging skin or facial wrinkles may need a facelift. Surgeons place small incisions on concealed skin folds and tighten the skin to achieve the desired contour. Non-surgical facelift alternatives such as injectable treatments and dermal fillers are not available.
Individuals with a double chin or drooping jowls and a smooth upper face may benefit from a neck lift. This treatment is designed to treat creases and sagging skin in the lower face and neck.
Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck addresses loose abdominal skin. This option is common with women who have gone through a pregnancy and individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight. Your AZ plastic surgeons will remove excess skin while tightening your abdominal muscles during tummy tuck surgery.
A breast lift addresses loose, drooping skin in the chest that can compromise a youthful, feminine appearance. Breast lift surgery can be performed after aging, pregnancy, or weight loss to restore lifted, sculpted breasts and ensure the nipples sit at an appropriate height rather than pointing downward. While a breast lift can be transformative when performed alone, the surgery is often performed in tandem with breast augmentation or reduction to maximize results.
Weight-loss patients with “aprons” or hanging skin below the belly button will benefit from a body lift. A body lift procedure is designed to transform the mid and lower body. Your AZ skin removal surgeons will remove excess skin and fat around the abdominal region, including the buttocks, hips, outer thighs, and groin.
This set of procedures addresses various concerns for individuals who have lost significant weight through bariatric surgery, weight-loss regimens, or non-surgical bariatric treatments. Body contouring surgery can produce a significant change in appearance. If you’re looking to achieve the body you have always envisioned, this is an excellent procedure choice.
Usually performed in conjunction with another procedure, such as a breast lift or tummy tuck, this treatment aims to address saggy, drooping skin on the upper arm.
This treatment aims to reshape the patient’s thighs by getting rid of excess skin. Results are almost immediate and tend to improve with time.
The right candidates for this procedure are individuals who have loose skin that is functionally, cosmetically, or emotionally troubling. You should be in good health and possess realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome. Patients need to have enough recovery time to ensure proper healing and an excellent outcome.
If you are planning a skin-reduction procedure, please note that scarring may occur. Our plastic surgeons at Elite Plastic Surgery employ advanced surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring and produce exceptional cosmetic results.
To get the most from your skin removal surgery in Phoenix, Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi recommend waiting until you have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months. This waiting period can help prevent further skin loosening or stretching. Your initial consultation at Elite Plastic Surgery will be an excellent opportunity to ask any questions you may have about skin removal surgery. Our plastic surgeons will evaluate you individually and develop a treatment plan tailored to you.
The benefits of this cosmetic surgery include the following:
Skin reduction surgery is an outpatient procedure typically performed under general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will carefully place incisions in the natural skin folds to minimize visible scarring. During the surgery, your surgeon will remove excess skin and improve the contour of the treatment area. Once this is done, your surgeon will close the incision sites to ensure proper healing and minimize postoperative scarring.
During your initial consultation at Elite Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Phoenix, or Chandler, AZ, you will meet with Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi to discuss your goals, have all your questions answered, and learn more about the techniques available for excess skin removal. The doctors will explain the risks, benefits, downtime, costs, and other details of your procedure, empowering you with realistic expectations and the confidence to make the best decisions for your care. Your consultation also includes a thorough medical and physical evaluation to ensure your treatment is safe, effective, and rewarding.
Your Guide to Post-Excess Skin Removal Care
Following excess skin surgery, recovery will vary from person to person, depending on the amount of skin removed and the treatment area. Light walking and standing are recommended as soon as possible to ensure proper blood circulation and speedy healing. Patients should expect some swelling, numbness, and soreness, which usually subside within a few weeks.
Your Scottsdale, Phoenix, and East Valley skin removal surgeon will prescribe pain medication and provide precise instructions that you should follow to ensure proper healing. Patients should expect to take at least 2 weeks off work and refrain from strenuous activity for 8 weeks.
