What are the common areas treated during an excess skin removal surgery?
Excess skin removal surgery focuses on removing sagging or loose skin, restoring a smoother, sculpted, and contoured shape. Your expert plastic surgeon in Fort Lauderdale will evaluate and carefully select the best technique to deliver the most effective results while keeping any scarring as discreet as possible.
Common areas
Why excess skin develops — and why addressing it matters
Excess skin often occurs after major weight loss, pregnancy, and aging, and the skin is stretched for a long period of time. Patients lose elasticity and fail to “snap back” once the underlying fat or tissue is reduced. Things to keep in consideration are genetics, skin quality and lifestyle, which can 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.
By removing excess tissue and sagging skin, our plastic surgeons can help you enjoy the results of your hard work, restore a smoother body contour, and improve daily comfort. Both physically and emotionally.
Customize your excess skin removal surgery benefits
Relieve skin irritation and discomfort
Excess skin can cause friction around the folds of excess skin, leading to rashes, chafing, and infections. Once this tissue is removed, it helps you feel more comfortable in your daily activities without skin irritation or discomfort.
Improve mobility and physical comfort
By eliminating extra skin, patients feel more comfortable with movement and exercising, enjoying an active lifestyle without any restrictions or limitations.
Enhance clothing fit and wardrobe options
Patients often report feeling more comfortable wearing certain clothing after skin removal surgery. This allows you to expand your wardrobe and wear what you love with confidence.
Boost hygiene and skin health
Excess skin can cause excess sweat around the skin folds, and it is difficult to reach these areas to keep them dry and clean. Removing this tissue improves airflow, reduces moisture, and supports healthy skin.
Celebrate your transformation
For many of our patients, this is a final step towards a powerful body transformation; whether your journey involved massive weight loss, pregnancy, or another life change, removing any excess skin can help you fully enjoy your results.
Increase confidence and body image
Excess skin removal creates a boost in confidence and body image. This procedure restores confidence, improves posture, and helps patients feel comfortable in their own bodies.

Día de la cirugía
Excess skin removal surgery takes around 2-5 hours, depending on the number of areas treated and the complexity of your case. This is an outpatient procedure, and you’ll return home the same day with compression garments to support healing and minimize swelling.
1 día postoperatorio
Your surgeon will advise you to make rest your priority after surgery. Swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected. You must continue wearing your compression garment to support your new contours, reduce fluid buildup, and support circulation.
1 semana postoperatoria
You’ll come back into our office one week after your surgery. During your post-operative visit, your surgeon will monitor the incision areas and the progress of your healing. Most patients feel more comfortable with light movement. Any strenuous activity should be limited.
1 mes postoperatorio
Your surgeon will clear you to perform light, low-impact activities around this phase. Swelling will continue to subside, and patients will start having a clearer sense of their final results. Wearing your compression garments is still recommended for optimal healing.
2 - 12 meses después de la operación
Most patients feel fully healed around the 3-6 months mark. They are now cleared to return to their normal schedule and resume any type of exercise. Incisions will gradually fade over time, and final results are visible around the 8-12 months mark.

No podría haber tomado una decisión mejor
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 refers to a group or combination of body contouring procedures designed to eliminate excess, loose or sagging skin after major weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Common procedures include: Tummy tuck, arm lift, and thigh lift. These procedures improve skin tightness, comfort when performing daily activities and exercise, and achieve symmetrical body proportions.
Who is a good candidate for excess skin removal surgery in Fort Lauderdale?
Good candidates are those who have gone through major weight loss or experienced prolonged skin stretching that has left them with loose, hanging skin. This cosmetic procedure is not a weight loss solution, but rather a contouring procedure once patients meet their weight goals.
What areas can be treated with excess skin removal?
Depending on where the skin laxity is and your overall health conditions, excess skin removal can be performed on multiple areas of the body. Most common treatment areas include the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, buttocks, and chest. Some patients decide to focus on a single area, and some decide on a combination approach. Your surgeon will help you determine the best option for your case.
How long does excess skin removal surgery take?
Excess skin removal takes around 2-5 hours, depending on the complexity of your case. During your consultation with your surgeon, it’ll be determined what the best approach is to ensure your desired results while keeping you safe and comfortable during and after surgery.
Will there be visible scars after excess skin removal surgery?
Yes, scars are part of any cosmetic procedure. Incisions are a key part of skin removal. However, incisions are strategically placed in areas where patients can hide them and be as discreet as possible. You’ll be provided with post-operative care instructions, which often help the scars to fade over time.
What is recovery like after excess skin removal surgery?
Many patients are cleared to return to normal activities and low-impact exercise after 1-2 months. Any strenuous activity must be limited until the 6-8 week mark. Your surgeon will recommend continuing to wear your compression garments to support swelling, circulation, and overall recovery.
How long do results from excess skin removal last?
Once excess skin is removed, it will not grow back; this automatically makes your results long-lasting. Your surgeon will advise you to maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits to preserve outcomes. Keep in mind that natural aging and future weight fluctuations can affect skin quality over time.
Can I combine excess skin removal with other procedures?
Yes, excess skin removal refers to a group of procedures. This allows our patients to combine it with additional body contouring surgeries. Common combinations include: Liposuction, breast lift, breast reduction, or arm lift. Keep in mind that safety is carefully evaluated, and you might not be a candidate for multiple procedures at once.
Is excess skin removal surgery painful?
Excess skin removal is done under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety. Patients typically experience mild to moderate discomfort, tightness, and soreness. You will be prescribed pain medication to manage any type of discomfort. Many patients start feeling more comfortable after the first 2-weeks.
How much does excess skin removal surgery cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Excess skin removal surgery starts at $2,999 (surgeon and anesthesia fee not included). Final price varies based on the areas treated, the complexity of your treatment, and whether other surgeries are combined. Your coordinator will also provide flexible financing options through third-party companies to make your surgery more accessible.
How should I prepare for excess skin removal surgery?
Patients must maintain a stable weight before surgery, must stop smoking tobacco, and must avoid certain medications or supplements. This type of procedure requires downtime to recover, so it’s necessary to arrange time off work and activities to ensure optimal healing.
Is excess skin removal surgery safe?
Excess skin removal is safe. South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery is an accredited surgical facility and has a team of expert plastic surgeons who carefully plan thorough evaluations to help minimize complications. Following all pre-operative instructions improves outcomes.
How soon can I see results after excess skin removal?
Visible change in contour is noticeable right after surgery. Swelling and bruising gradually decrease over time with the proper use of your compression garments. Patients feel fully healed around the 3-6 months mark, and final results typically settle between 8-12 months after surgery.
What’s the difference between excess skin removal and liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat but does not address loose or sagging skin. Excess skin removal focuses on cutting away stretched skin and tightening remaining tissue. In many cases, the two procedures are combined for the best contouring outcome. Your surgeon will recommend the appropriate approach based on skin quality and fat distribution. Each addresses a different concern.
How long should I wait after weight loss before skin removal surgery?
Most surgeons recommend maintaining a stable weight for at least six months before surgery. This ensures results are long-lasting and reduces the risk of needing revisions. Rapid weight changes after surgery can affect contour. Stability is key when planning excess skin removal. Your surgeon will help determine the right timing.
How much weight do I need to lose before excess skin removal surgery?
There is no specific number of pounds required to qualify for excess skin removal surgery. What matters most is that you have reached a healthy, stable weight that you feel confident maintaining long-term. Most surgeons recommend being at a stable weight for several months before surgery to ensure lasting results. Excess skin removal is designed to address loose skin—not active weight loss. A consultation helps determine readiness based on your body composition and goals.
Will I need drains after excess skin removal surgery?
Some excess skin removal procedures require temporary surgical drains to reduce fluid buildup. Drains help minimize swelling and support proper healing during the early recovery phase. They are typically removed within one to two weeks after surgery. Your surgeon will explain whether drains are needed for your specific procedure. Proper care of drains is essential for recovery success.
Can excess skin removal tighten the muscles underneath?
In certain procedures, such as a tummy tuck, underlying muscles may be repaired or tightened. Muscle tightening helps restore core strength and improve contour. Not all excess skin removal surgeries involve muscle repair. Your surgeon will explain what is included in your procedure. Strengthening the foundation improves long-term results.
