POST-MASSIVE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY, ARIZONA

Patients who have been able to lose very significant percentages of body fat--whether by surgical or non-surgical means--may not have anticipated that portions of their skin, which had stretched and accommodated to a larger figure, have now become 'deflated.' An inevitable consequence of massive weight loss (MWL), significant skin redundancy remains one of the most disconcertingly difficult problems of the MWL patient. Chafing, skin rashes, infections and hygiene issues combine with clothing selection problems to challenge these patients daily.

Skin reduction surgery for MWL patients is also discussed under other headings, such as 'Abdominoplasty,' and 'Arm Lift.' These patients often multiple procedures, as there are few areas of their bodies that have not been unfavorably altered by previous weight gain. Surgery for the post-massive weight loss patient is often dramatic, with life-changing improvements in both appearance and self-image. For all of these reasons it is a pleasure to perform this surgery!
