In cases of weight loss, there may be a significant amount of loose skin around the body and thighs. This naturally results from having deflated chronically stretched skin. These cases may benefit from circumferential body contouring procedures such as circumferential abdominoplasty or lower body lifts, which aim to circumferentially remove the excess skin as well as lift the lower part of the body including the thighs. Though these procedures are more complex than traditional body contouring surgeries, when performed well in the right patient, they can give very pleasing results that lead to a significantly improved quality of life.
