  6. Skin Removal After Weight Loss

After a dramatic weight loss, you may find that your skin and supportive tissue have lost elasticity, causing skin to sag and droop. Exercise can’t fix this problem, but plastic surgery can. At LVHN, our plastic surgeons perform a number of body shaping procedures that will accentuate your trimmer shape.
