This procedure shows wonderful results in both males as well as females, who have significant deflation after weight loss, which may be due to bariatric or physical and dietary intervention. Post deflation the sagging skin and soft tissue creates lead to fungal infection, pruritis in the crevices, and poses difficulty in wearing fitted clothes.
The surgery involves the removal of loose skin and fat from the lower tummy area, waistline, love handles, saddlebags, and back. This procedure corrects the deformity in 360 degrees and gives an all-around makeover.
In front, the thinned out and loose muscles are plicated and tightened after repairing the hernias which are fairly common in this subset of people. The final result is a flat and envious beautiful tummy.
On the behind additional maneuvers may be performed to augment or increase shape to the buttocks with the help of concomitant fat transfer.
On the sides, the flabby tissues are excised and sutured to not only get rid of excess bulk but also lift the sides of the thighs.
