Skin loses some of its elasticity with age, which is especially noticeable on the abdomen, thighs and arms as excess skin. The problem is often more pronounced if you've lost a lot of weight or after pregnancy. This can mean that you can't wear the clothes you want or live the life you dream of. For cosmetic reasons and everyday discomfort, you may need a tightening operation to remove excess skin and possibly tighten the abdominal muscles through plastic surgery.

We always do an initial consultation

At Capio Private Hospital, our specialists are ready to guide you so that you can make an informed decision about whether surgery is right for you. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member to the initial consultation, and you will always be given time to think things over before the surgery is performed.

Information about excess skin

Reduction of loose skin on upper arms

Loose skin on the upper arms is common and may develop with age, after significant weight loss, or for other reasons. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and the scar is placed on the inside of the upper arm from the armpit down to above or below the elbow, depending on the extent of the loose skin.

Reduction of loose skin on thighs

Surgery for loose skin on the thighs is most commonly used for people who have lost a lot of weight. If the procedure is performed after bariatric surgery, at least 18 months should have passed since the bariatric surgery and your weight should have been stable for about 6 months. This is to ensure that your metabolism has stabilized, thus reducing the risk of any complications. You are always welcome to contact us to learn more about loose skin reduction.

Flaccid abdomen (Abdomen pendens)

Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that tightens sagging abdominal skin, especially after significant weight loss and/or pregnancy. The aim of the surgery is to tighten the abdominal skin and remove excess skin. If there is laxity in the abdominal wall muscles, these are also tightened, but the navel is retained. The surgery may be combined with liposuction.
