Many people who have lost a substantial amount of weight find their skin and tissue lack the elasticity to conform to the smaller body size.
In these cases the skin that has been severely stretched is now unsupported.
Surgical body contouring following your major weight loss can improve the shape and tone of your underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. In addition excess fat and skin are removed at the same time. Body contouring results in a more normal appearance with smoother contours.
