Every body is unique—and for some, significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging can leave behind loose, sagging skin that doesn’t reflect how hard you’ve worked. Whether you’re seeking greater comfort, a smoother silhouette, or a more proportionate look, excess skin removal can help you feel more in tune with your body. This procedure is about more than aesthetics—it’s about restoring comfort, mobility, and confidence in a way that’s uniquely yours.
Excess skin removal can refine your contours, make movement easier, and help clothing fit more comfortably. For many patients, it’s the final, transformative step in their journey toward body confidence and freedom.
This customizable procedure removes loose, stretched skin and can target multiple areas—including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back—for a firmer, naturally contoured appearance. Whether your concerns are physical, aesthetic, or both, excess skin removal is tailored to your goals and anatomy for results that feel empowering and long-lasting.
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we believe every patient deserves results that reflect their individual goals, comfort, and lifestyle. No two bodies are the same—and no excess skin removal procedure should be either.
Whether you’re looking to restore a smoother contour after weight loss, improve comfort during daily movement, or simply feel more confident in your skin, our expert plastic surgeons will tailor your procedure to align with your anatomy and personal vision. Your treatment plan will focus on removing loose, stretched skin while enhancing your body’s natural shape for a firmer, more proportional look.
Many of our patients report an immediate boost in comfort and self-confidence after their procedure. Clothing fits better, physical activity becomes easier, and daily life feels more comfortable. Most importantly, patients often describe feeling truly at home in their own skin.
For personalized pricing, please contact our office to schedule your consultation. We also offer flexible financing through trusted third-party providers with simple applications and quick approvals, making your transformation more accessible. Our team is here to guide you through every step of the process.
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.
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.
Folds of skin can trap moisture and sweat, leading to rashes, chafing, or even recurring infections.
Extra skin can limit range of motion, making physical activities or even everyday movements more challenging.
Ill-fitting clothes or constant adjustments can affect confidence and limit wardrobe choices.
Areas with overlapping skin can be harder to clean and keep dry, increasing the risk of odor or skin issues.
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.
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.
Without extra skin getting in the way, it’s easier to move freely, exercise comfortably, and enjoy an active lifestyle without restriction.
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.
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.
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.
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.

30 - 1 día antes de la intervención
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.
Día de la cirugía
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 día postoperatorio
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 semana postoperatoria
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 mes postoperatorio
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 meses después de la operación
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Many patients combine skin removal surgery with procedures such as liposuction, a tummy tuck, breast lift, or arm lift for more comprehensive results.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
