Conditions
Excess Fat & Skin
A healthy diet and regular physical exercise play a big part in maintaining our weight close to its ideal value, as well as keeping our body in a healthy condition on the inside.
A build-up of extra fat is most commonly due to consuming more calories than are expelled naturally by the body and can accumulate under the skin, mainly affecting the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, thighs and arms. Weight fluctuation, significant weight loss or the rapid growth and subsequent over-stretching of the skin during pregnancy, as well as ageing, can result in the skin losing the elastin (a key protein in the skin) and its ability to contract and resume its original shape after stretching, leaving sagging skin behind.
The presence of both excess fat and excess skin can leave a person feeling self-conscious and experience difficulty finding appropriate clothing. Although they should not be regarded as a method of weight loss, surgical procedures such as: liposuction, tummy tuck, arm reduction and thigh lifts are effective treatments for reducing localised excess body fat and excess skin, achieving an improved and balanced body profile and contouring.
