At Manchester Private Hospital, we understand that significant weight loss—whether achieved through lifestyle changes or bariatric surgery—can leave behind excess, sagging skin that affects your confidence and comfort.

Excess skin removal surgery, also known as body contouring surgery, helps reshape and tighten these areas, giving you smoother contours and a body shape more in line with your efforts.

What Is Excess Skin Removal Surgery?

Excess skin removal surgery involves the surgical excision of loose, hanging skin that remains after major weight loss. This procedure can be performed on multiple areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and chest, depending on your needs. It is tailored to restore a more toned, natural appearance and improve your comfort during everyday movements.

Who Is It For?

This treatment is ideal for individuals who have:

  • Excess skin after weight loss
  • Loose skin from ageing or excess skin after pregnancy
  • Completed their weight loss journey and maintained a stable weight for several months
  • Overall good health and realistic expectations

Areas Commonly Treated

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate for excess skin removal if:

  • You have loose, hanging skin that causes discomfort or hygiene issues
  • Your weight has stabilised for at least 6–12 months
  • You’re in good general health and a non-smoker
  • You have realistic expectations about the outcomes and scars involved
