Excess skin

Excess skin is an effect of surplus skin and fat after expansion during pregnancy or adipositas and a following loss of weight. Further reasons can be aging effects, genetical disorders or an intentional expansion for skin reconstruction.

Methods to remove excess skin by surgery are for example abdominoplasty, breast reduction and brachioplasty.
