EXCESS SKIN POST WEIGHT LOSS

Losing a large amount of weight can have incredible benefits to your health, self esteem and results in a more comfortable life when carrying out daily activities. However, after all that effort, determination and will power it can make you feel quite despondent when you are left with excess loose skin that has lost elasticity and is very difficult to tighten and tone.

When we are overweight, our skin stretches to accommodate the increased body mass. Over extended periods of weight gain, the structure of the skin becomes compromised and loses its ability to bounce back. This can also be coupled with stretch marks when weight loss and gain has fluctuated, or post pregnancy.


Excess loose skin left behind following weight loss can be disguised with clothing, but can seriously impact intimacy when it isn’t always possible to conceal. We treat many cases of excess loose skin through a series of procedures such as; arm lift, thigh lift, tummy tuck. This kind of surgery is known as post bariatric surgery. We believe that when you’ve worked that hard, you deserve to feel amazing and at REAL our surgeons are here to help tone and tighten your new physique.
