Significant weight loss often results in the formation of loose skin and body contour deformities.
At University Hospitals, you have options for removing excess skin and improving your appearance.

Millions of people successfully lose weight each year, some for appearance and some for health reasons. Sometimes dieting or weight reduction surgery results in substantial weight loss, making it difficult for the skin and tissue to conform to the reduced body size.

This often results in:

• Sagging breasts
• Excessive amounts of skin under the arms and legs
• Abdominal skin hanging around the sides and the lower back

Body contouring is a combination of procedures that can safely and effectively help a patient improve his or her appearance after significant weight loss. The University Hospitals Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery offers both understanding and experience in all forms of body contouring.
