Nowadays, bariatric surgery and the intragastric balloon are an alternative for people with morbid obesity, who need to lose a large number of kilos for health reasons.

Once a large amount of weight has been lost, the skin doesn’t achieve total retraction and considerable flaccidity is produced, with a large quantity of surplus skin, especially around the abdomen, buttocks and thighs.

This excess skin can be eliminated through surgery, specifically by means of a body-lift, involving the entire lower half of the body.

By making a belt-shaped incision, the buttocks are raised (and enlarged if required), the skin of the thighs is lifted, and the abdomen is smoothed and flattened by removing the surplus skin.
