FAQ
What causes excess skin?
Excess skin can result from weight loss or significant lifestyle changes. When fat cells diminish, they can leave behind sagging skin in places where the fat used to live. This typically happens as a result of weight loss surgery, childbirth, or similar circumstances.
Can I receive the surgery concurrently with another surgery?
We do not provide other surgeries concurrently with excess skin removal. It’s best to allow your body to heal completely before undergoing a different procedure. During your consultation, share your body goals with Dr. Hunsicker. We can discuss scheduling your desired procedure at a future date.
What is recovery like?
Total recovery from excess skin removal surgery in Denver, CO, can take up to 6 weeks. We recommend taking sufficient time off work and arranging for someone to assist you with common activities for the first week.
