Following the significant amount of weight loss after Gastric Bypass or Lap Band Surgery, a person can be permanently left with a lot of excess hanging skin, due to the lack of elasticity.  The most common areas for excess skin redundancy are the face, neck, breasts, abdomen, flanks, arms and armpits, back, buttocks, thighs, legs, and calves. This excess skin also can cause hygienic problems, skin irritation, skin breakdown and pain, and infection. Facial and body contouring procedures can help a patient obtain the best possible body shape that is hidden underneath all the excess skin.
