Loose Skin Surgery
After Weight Loss
Major weight loss is a huge achievement — loose skin shouldn’t be its price. Beverly Hills Physicians’ board-certified plastic surgeons remove excess skin and restore firm contours, with free consultations at 9 Southern California offices.
Loose Skin after Weight Loss
After losing a significant amount of weight — whether through bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or diet and exercise — skin that stretched over years cannot fully shrink back. It hangs at the abdomen, arms, thighs, chest, and face; it can chafe, trap moisture, cause rashes, and hide the shape you worked so hard for. Creams, exercise, and time improve it only marginally: once skin has lost its elasticity, surgery is the only reliable way to remove it.
Beverly Hills Physicians has helped post-weight-loss patients complete their transformations for over two decades. Every procedure is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, and your consultation — including an exact quote — is free.
A tummy tuck removes the hanging abdominal apron and tightens separated muscles — the most requested post-weight-loss procedure. When the priority is relief from rashes and hygiene issues, a panniculectomy may be the right fit.
Weight loss shows in the face too. A face lift or neck lift restores the jawline and neck, and non-surgical skin tightening can help with milder laxity.
A body lift addresses the abdomen, hips, buttocks and lower back in one circumferential procedure — and covers hanging skin at the arms and bra line for upper-body cases.
A thigh lift removes inner and outer thigh laxity that causes chafing — an outpatient procedure most patients combine with other contouring work.
Most patients combine two or three of these in a staged plan your surgeon designs at your consultation. Men: see our dedicated loose skin removal for men page.
Question and Answers
What surgery removes loose skin after weight loss?
It depends on where the skin hangs: a tummy tuck or panniculectomy for the abdomen, a body lift for the entire lower trunk, thigh and arm lifts for the limbs, and face or neck lifts for facial laxity. Most post-weight-loss patients combine procedures in a staged plan designed at a free consultation.
How much does loose skin removal cost?
It depends on the procedures in your plan — a tummy tuck at Beverly Hills Physicians typically ranges from $6,000–$20,000, and multi-area plans are quoted as a package. Your quote includes the board-certified surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and the operating room fee; bloodwork, medical clearance, garments, and medications are billed separately. The exact number comes from your free consultation.
Will insurance cover loose skin surgery?
Cosmetic skin removal is generally not covered. A panniculectomy with documented medical need — recurrent rashes, infections, or functional problems — may qualify for partial coverage. We can verify your benefits at no cost.
How long after weight loss should I wait before surgery?
Surgeons generally recommend that your weight has been stable for about six to twelve months, so results aren’t undone by further changes. If you lost weight with bariatric surgery or GLP-1 medications, your surgeon will coordinate timing with your overall plan.
Is financing available?
Yes. Beverly Hills Physicians partners with Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon Credit, including true 0% APR plans for qualified applicants and approvals up to $65,000, with no hard credit check to see your options.
