Operations after significant weight loss concern everyone who wants to correct their silhouette. This occurs after a food rehabilitation or after surgery type sleeve or by-pass.
It is the combination of the different operations allowing to remove the excess cutaneo-greasy consecutive with a loss of weight.
This concerns the belly, the waist, the love handles, the arms, the breasts and the thighs. At the cost of scars due to the excision of the tissues, the excess tissues are eliminated and the silhouette regains harmony to feel better.

Most often it is abdominoplasty for the belly.
For the thighs it is the lifting of the thighs with liposuction sometimes associated.
The relaxed skin of the arms is corrected by an arm lift.
