Torsoplasty

Another area where excessive skin is noticeable after major weight loss is the thoracic area. This is often very true in women after breasts become flaccid, but men also undergo major physical changes after losing a lot of weight.

In women, the challenge is to lift the breast keeping a round shape and volume as well as removing excess skin that hangs from the sides. In these cases surgical cuts are often hidden under the breast fold.

In men, excessive fat and skin must be removed. Often this is accomplished though cuts made around the nipple, a vertical incision, or with the combination of a T-shape incision.
