What are the common areas treated during an excess skin removal surgery?
Excess skin removal surgery focuses on eliminating stretched or sagging skin and restoring a smoother, more contoured shape. Incision placement is a crucial part of your personalized treatment plan, and our surgeons carefully select techniques that provide the most effective results while keeping scars as discreet as possible.
Common areas
Why excess skin develops — and why addressing it matters
Excess skin often appears after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural aging process. When skin is stretched for a long period of time, it can lose elasticity and fail to “snap back” once the underlying fat or tissue is reduced. Genetics, skin quality, and lifestyle factors can all influence how much sagging occurs.
Beyond cosmetic concerns, loose skin can have a real impact on daily comfort and health
Skin irritation & chafing
Folds of skin can trap moisture and sweat, leading to rashes, chafing, or even recurring infections.
Restricted mobility
Extra skin can limit range of motion, making physical activities or even everyday movements more challenging.
Clothing discomfort
Ill-fitting clothes or constant adjustments can affect confidence and limit wardrobe choices.
Hygiene challenges
Areas with overlapping skin can be harder to clean and keep dry, increasing the risk of odor or skin issues.
Emotional Impact
Many patients report feeling self-conscious about their appearance, even after reaching a major health or weight-loss milestone.
Excess skin removal surgery is designed to restore a smoother contour, improve comfort, and help you fully enjoy the results of your hard work—both physically and emotionally.
Customize your excess skin removal surgery benefits
Relieve skin irritation and discomfort
Removing folds of excess skin eliminates the friction and trapped moisture that can cause chafing, rashes, and infections—helping you feel more comfortable in your daily activities.
Improve mobility and physical comfort
Without extra skin getting in the way, it’s easier to move freely, exercise comfortably, and enjoy an active lifestyle without restriction.
Enhance clothing fit and wardrobe options
From fitted jeans to tailored dresses, clothes drape more naturally after skin removal surgery—giving you more freedom to wear what you love with confidence.
Boost hygiene and skin health
Excess skin can create hard-to-reach areas that are difficult to keep dry and clean. Removing it improves airflow, reduces moisture buildup, and supports better skin health.
Celebrate your transformation
Whether your journey involved major weight loss, pregnancy, or another life change, excess skin removal can help you fully embrace and enjoy your results, both physically and emotionally.
Increase confidence and body image
Many patients describe this procedure as the “finishing touch” to their transformation—restoring confidence, improving posture, and helping them feel fully at home in their bodies.

Surgery and recovery process
30 - 1 Day Before Surgery
You’ll meet with your surgeon for a detailed consultation, review your surgical plan, take pre-operative photos, and complete any necessary testing, such as bloodwork and medical clearance. Our team will walk you through all pre-op instructions so you feel fully prepared.
Surgery Day
Excess skin removal surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take 2–5 hours, depending on the treatment area and complexity. You’ll return home the same day with supportive dressings or compression garments in place to aid healing and minimize swelling.
1 Day Post Op
Plan to rest and limit movement. Some swelling, bruising, and soreness are normal. You’ll need to wear your compression garment as instructed to support your new contours and help reduce fluid buildup.
1 Week Post Op
You’ll attend your first follow-up visit so your surgeon can check your incisions and healing progress. Most patients feel more comfortable by this point but should still avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting.
1 Month Post Op
For most procedures, light, low-impact activities can typically be resumed. Swelling continues to subside, and your results will start becoming more visible. You may still need to wear your compression garment for optimal healing.
2 - 12 Months Post Op
For most procedures, the skin and body will continue to settle into their final shape. Most patients feel fully recovered within 3–6 months, with incision lines gradually fading over the course of the year.

I could not have made a better decision
I can not say enough great things about about Dr. Pinnella and his staff. I did my research for months not only in my home town, but other states as well and had many consultations. Dr. Pinnella was the first doctor to tell me exactly what I needed and staff was super helpful at the explaining procedures and processes. My post op care was the absolute best. I could not have made a better decision than to come to Miami from Ky and have my surgery done with Dr. Pinnella and staff.

Frequently asked excess skin removal surgery questions
What is excess skin removal surgery?
Excess skin removal surgery is a set of procedures including Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty), Arm Lift (Brachioplasty), Thigh Lift designed to remove loose, sagging skin that often remains after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. It helps create smoother, tighter contours for a more toned and confident appearance.
Who is a good candidate for excess skin removal surgery?
You may be a good candidate if you have sagging or stretched skin that does not improve with diet and exercise, are at a stable weight, and are in good overall health. Non-smokers typically have the best healing outcomes.
What areas can be treated with excess skin removal?
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, buttocks, and chest. The procedure can be customized to target one or multiple areas depending on your goals.
How do I know if I need excess skin removal surgery or liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat but does not address loose skin. If your main concern is sagging skin rather than excess fat, skin removal surgery may be the better option. Some patients benefit from a combination of both procedures.
How long does excess skin removal surgery take?
For most procedures, they typically last between 2 to 5 hours, depending on the number of areas treated and the complexity of your surgical plan.
Will there be visible scars after excess skin removal surgery?
Yes, there will be scars where incisions are made. However, our surgeons place incisions strategically to be as discreet as possible, and scars tend to fade significantly over time with proper care.
What is recovery like after excess skin removal surgery?
For most procedures, patients need 2–4 weeks before resuming normal daily activities and 6–8 weeks before returning to strenuous exercise. Wearing compression garments and following post-op care instructions will help speed recovery and optimize results.
How long do results from excess skin removal last?
Results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While the natural aging process will continue, removed skin does not return.
Can I combine excess skin removal with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine skin removal surgery with procedures such as liposuction, a tummy tuck, breast lift, or arm lift for more comprehensive results.
Is excess skin removal surgery painful?
You will not feel pain during the surgery due to anesthesia. Mild to moderate discomfort is expected during recovery, but it is typically well-managed with prescribed medication and rest.
How much does excess skin removal surgery cost?
The cost varies depending on the treatment area and extent of the procedure. Contact our office for a personalized consultation and pricing details. We also offer flexible financing options to make your transformation more accessible.
How should I prepare for excess skin removal surgery?
Preparation may include maintaining a stable weight, stopping smoking, adjusting certain medications, and arranging for help during your initial recovery period. Your surgeon will provide a detailed pre-op plan.
Is excess skin removal surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons. As with any surgery, there are risks, but our team prioritizes safety with comprehensive pre-op evaluations and advanced surgical techniques.
How soon can I see results after excess skin removal?
You’ll notice a difference immediately after surgery, but swelling may initially hide your final results. Most patients see significant improvement within 1–3 months, with full results visible by 6–12 months.
