Large Folds of Skin

Overview

This is always a possibility when significant weight loss takes place . There is no reliable way to determine whether this will happen or not before surgery, or how much will occur; it varies from case to case. Age, fitness, speed of weight loss, elasticity of skin all play a role. Patients need to wait for about a year to see if they need additional body contouring surgery. Plastic surgery procedures are available to treat excess skin problems.
