The big problem that is created after the restoration of normal weight concerns the great laxity and excess skin in areas of the body such as the abdomen, the inner part of the thighs, the arms, the chest and the face.

This excess skin often is highlighted with the usual symptoms of chronic irritation – dermatitis, prevents appearance and movement, and constantly reminds the previous state of the body.

The whole of Plastic Surgery interventions addressed to patients after massive weight loss is called body contouring.

The goal is to get the patient safely an acceptable appearance aesthetically and functionally and to restore his / her psychological and emotional health.
