What is Dermolipectomy ?

Dermolipectomy is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from specific areas of the body, usually after significant weight loss or due to aging. This procedure helps improve the contour, appearance, and comfort of the treated area by eliminating sagging skin that cannot be tightened through exercise or diet alone.If you are tired of sagging, loose skin affecting your confidence and comfort, dermolipectomy can transform your life. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn how this procedure can help you achieve a more sculpted and confident version of yourself.

Who Needs Dermolipectomy?

You may be an ideal candidate for dermolipectomy if you:

  • Have lost a large amount of weight and are left with loose, hanging skin.
  • Have excess skin folds causing hygiene issues, rashes, or infections.
  • Feel self-conscious due to the appearance of sagging skin.
  • Want a smoother, firmer, and more youthful body contour.

Common Areas Treated with Dermolipectomy

Abdomen (Panniculectomy or Tummy Tuck) – Removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen for a flatter stomach.

Arms (Brachioplasty or Arm Lift) – Eliminates hanging skin (bat wings) from the upper arms, creating a toned look.

Thighs (Thigh Lift) – Removes loose skin from the inner or outer thighs to improve leg contour.

Face and Neck – Sometimes combined with other procedures for facial rejuvenation.

How is Dermolipectomy Performed?

During the procedure:

  1. Anaesthesia: General or regional anaesthesia is administered to ensure comfort.
  2. Incision: The surgeon makes precise incisions along the targeted area, designed to minimize visible scarring.
  3. Removal of Excess Skin and Fat: Loose skin is excised, and underlying fat may be removed or repositioned.
  4. Tightening and Closure: The remaining skin is tightened, and sutures are placed to close the incision.
  5. Dressing and Recovery: Dressings are applied, and sometimes drains are inserted to reduce fluid accumulation.
