There are many options for skin removal\/skin tightening after weight loss.\u00a0 The basic idea is that skin had been stretched out beyond its ability to bounce back and skin removal\/skin tightening is the only current available treatment to correct this.\u00a0 Below is a list of areas where excess skin after weight loss may be seen and the procedure\/procedures that can help contour the area.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>-Face and Neck: \u00a0&#8220;Jowling&#8221;, droopy cheeks, and &#8220;turkey neck&#8221; are all terms that people use to describe loose skin in common areas of the face and neck after weight loss.\u00a0 Small amounts of loose skin can be treated with replenishing the volume lost from the face with things like filler and fat transfer.\u00a0 More significant loose skin and often most patients, require a face lift and neck lift to reposition the deeper tissue of the face and neck and tighten the loose skin.\u00a0 Fat transfer at the same time is also often performed.\u00a0 In our goal of loosing weight and decreasing fat, we also unfortunately loose weight\/fat from our face and this leads to a &#8220;deflated&#8221; appearance.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>-Abdomen: \u00a0Most patients will notice a significant amount of weight loss and therefore loose skin in their abdominal area.\u00a0 This is often the most important area for patients to address.\u00a0 There are a myriad of abdominal contouring options including: full tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck, flour-de-lis tummy tuck, lower body lift, upper body lift.\u00a0 The goal is to match up the procedure with the patient in terms of what is needed and what is desired.\u00a0 All of the tummy tuck procedures require an incision but if the tummy tuck is designed properly the incision will be hidden low within the underwear line.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>-Arms: \u00a0Loose arm skin following weight loss is very common.\u00a0 Sometimes referred to as &#8220;bat wings&#8221;, it is an area that really bothers patients who have lost a lot of weight.\u00a0 A brachioplasty or arm lift is designed to remove this loose skin.\u00a0 The length of the incision will vary depending on how much loose skin there is.\u00a0 Often, patients will benefit from an incision that goes from the elbow to the arm pit.\u00a0 This can be combined with a breast lift or with a bra line back lift.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>-Breast: \u00a0Both men and women actually end up having loose skin on their chest and breasts after significant weight loss.\u00a0 For women, the breasts can be filled up with an augmentation and then lifted with a breast lift.\u00a0 For guys, a chest reduction surgery is the only thing needed.\u00a0 The incision can be just around the areola or the whole width of the chest half.\u00a0 For women, the incision is often around the areola and down the breasts.\u00a0 Breast lift and chest contour surgery can also be combined with a Bra Line Back Lift procedure.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>-Upper and Middle back: \u00a0The upper and middle back area can also develop loose skin.\u00a0 This loose skin will be seen as one or multiple folds in the middle back area and sometime in the lower back area as well.\u00a0 An incision across the back at the level of the horizontal part of the bra strap for women is used to tighten the back area.\u00a0 For guys, this incision can be readily hidden but it is often a welcomed trade off for a more contoured back.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>-Legs; \u00a0The inner and outer thighs are often contoured separately.\u00a0 The outer thighs are contoured with a lower body lift while the inner thighs require a separate incision.\u00a0 Either a vertical inner thigh incision (for a lot of loose skin) or a smaller groin fold incision (for less loose skin) can be used.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>As you can see, the options are almost endless.\u00a0 For those concerned of scars I do recommend Embrace scar therapy, particularly on the tummy tuck, arm lift, and Bra Line Back Lift incisions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>I hope this helps.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>All the best,<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Dr. Remus Repta<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/drrepta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DrRepta.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>For more\u00a0<a id=\"KonaLink0\" class=\"kLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/ask-the-surgeon\/ask-plastic-surgeon-lip-injections-tummy-tuck-otoplasty\/#\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"kLink\">information<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on Dr. Repta at AAA\u00a0<a id=\"KonaLink6\" class=\"kLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/ask-the-surgeon\/ask-the-plastic-surgeon-dr-repta-under-eyes\/#\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"kLink\">Plastic\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"kLink\">Surgery<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drrepta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>click here<\/strong>.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">For more information on Dr. Repta\u2019s\u00a0<a id=\"KonaLink7\" class=\"kLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/ask-the-surgeon\/ask-the-plastic-surgeon-dr-repta-under-eyes\/#\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"kLink\">tummy\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"kLink\">tuck<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a id=\"KonaLink7\" class=\"kLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/ask-the-surgeon\/ask-plastic-surgeon-lip-injections-tummy-tuck-otoplasty-2\/#\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"kLink\">body\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"kLink\">contouring<\/span><\/a>\u00a0procedures,\u00a0<em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottsdaletummytuck.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>To \u2018Ask the Surgeon\u2019 yourself,\u00a0<a id=\"KonaLink1\" class=\"kLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/ask-the-surgeon\/ask-plastic-surgeon-lip-injections-tummy-tuck-otoplasty\/#\"><span class=\"kLink\">email<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:askthesurgeon@azfoothills.com\" target=\"_blank\">askthesurgeon@azfoothills.com<\/a>\u00a0(all inquiries will remain confidential).
