Excess skin occurs after a period of weight gain because the skin stretches to accommodate the increased body size. Over time, this stretching can damage the skin’s elasticity and collagen, making it less able to retract once the weight is lost. When significant weight is shed, particularly in a short period, the skin cannot often tighten back to its original shape. This then leads to loose, sagging skin. Factors such as age, genetics, and the duration of weight gain also influence the skin’s ability to bounce back. This excess skin can cause discomfort and hinder mobility, prompting many individuals to consider post weight loss surgery.

This procedure is highly customisable, addressing specific areas where excess skin is most problematic. Patients often combine procedures for a comprehensive transformation. Mr Wilson develops a tailored surgical plan based on the patient’s unique anatomy, concerns, and goals.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes loose skin from the abdomen while tightening weakened abdominal muscles, creating a flatter, firmer mid-section. Incisions are usually placed low on the stomach for minimal visibility.

An arm lift removes sagging skin and reshapes the arms for a slimmer, more toned appearance. This procedure most often addresses the upper arms, but can be adapted depending on the patient’s individual concerns. Incisions are placed along the inner arm for discreet scarring.

A thigh lift removes skin from the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, refining contours and improving mobility.

A bra-line back lift removes a section of skin and sub-cutaneous fat from the redundant mobile excess skin in the upper back.

Breast surgery can be performed on both men and women, carrying out a breast reduction to remove excess skin on both the breasts. Women often combine this procedure with a breast uplift (mastopexy), or an augmentation mastopexy (breast lift with the insertion of implants). The aim of the surgery is to restore a natural-looking, youthful breast area.

With any of these procedures, liposuction may be included to help remove stubborn deposits of fat, refining body contours and improving the overall outcome. In cases of significant sagging, a lower body lift may be recommended. This complex procedure addresses the abdomen, flanks, hips and buttocks in one surgery for a complete transformation.

Mr Wilson prioritises minimising scarring and ensuring a natural, balanced outcome. Advanced techniques, such as strategic incision placement and precise suturing, enhance healing and aesthetics.
