Body lift after major weight loss is a major plastic surgery performed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, breasts, arms, buttocks, legs, face, and other body areas with loose sagging skin. It dramatically reduces loose hanging skin, but at the cost of scars. Men and women who are in good physical shape but bothered about loose skin are good candidates. Usually, it happens after major weight loss following gastric banding, bariatric surgery, dieting, and exercise.
