Reconstructive limb surgery
Significant weight loss following obesity treatment, including gastric banding, gastric bypass or an intragastric balloon, can leave loose skin and cause functional discomfort. We offer tailored post-weight-loss treatment to address these effects.

Surgery after significant weight loss
In addition to abdominoplasty, post-weight-loss reconstructive surgery can treat excess skin and fat on the arms (brachioplasty) and thighs (thigh lift or cruroplasty).
The aims are improved physical function, greater ease when dressing (so excess skin no longer hangs over trousers or underwear) and support for the patient’s ongoing weight-management journey.
An important consideration in arm and thigh lifts is scar placement.
A detailed discussion with your surgeon helps weigh the benefits of improved contours against the resulting scars, how discreetly they can be placed, and the option of keeping the excess skin.
Coverage by French social security and supplementary health insurance may be available, subject to a prior authorisation request and approval by social security.
