Eliminate excess skin, enhance body proportions, and restore confidence.
At Gallery Plastic Surgery, we believe your body’s story deserves to be celebrated — not hidden. Whether your journey includes weight loss, pregnancy, or natural aging, loose or sagging skin can sometimes stand between you and the confident reflection you deserve.
Our excess skin removal procedures are designed to restore smooth, sculpted contours and help you feel truly at home in your body again.
Excess skin removal is more than a cosmetic procedure — it’s a reconstruction of proportion, balance, and confidence.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in advanced skin-tightening and contouring techniques, customizing each surgery to your unique anatomy and goals. We focus on achieving natural, long-lasting results that enhance both form and function.
Depending on your needs, surgery may target one or multiple areas, including:
Abdomen and Flanks (Tummy Tuck / Body Lift)
Removes excess skin and tightens muscles for a firmer, flatter midsection.
Arms (Brachioplasty)
Smooths and tightens the upper arms for a leaner, more toned appearance.
Thighs (Thigh Lift)
Refines the inner and outer thighs for improved contour and comfort.
Back and Buttocks (Lower Body Lift)
Addresses circumferential laxity for total lower-body rejuvenation.

Personalized Consultation
We discuss your goals, evaluate your skin, and create a customized treatment plan for your excess skin removal.
Precise Surgical Techniques
Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to remove excess skin, ensuring minimal scarring and a natural, flattering result.
Long-Term Results
With proper aftercare, you’ll enjoy smooth, toned skin that lasts for years, enhancing your body contours and boosting confidence.
People who have lost only small amounts of weight usually have skin that can “spring back” and reshape easier. However, when after large changes in weight, the excess skin has lost its elastic potential, so weight loss leaves large amounts of loose skin (and often stretch marks).
Patients who have excess, sagging skin, especially after significant weight changes, can benefit from loose skin removal surgery in Monterey.
Recovery varies depending on which areas you have treated, but most patients need 2 to 6 weeks of downtime. It’s common to experience some swelling and bruising, but that improves over time. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to create a smooth healing process.
Avoid strenuous activities and follow all post-surgical care guidelines for optimal results after your loose skin removal surgery in Monterey.
Some scarring is inevitable, but our female plastic surgeons place incisions in discreet locations whenever possible. With proper healing and scar care, scars typically fade over time and become less noticeable.
Liposuction
Liposuction surgery can eliminate persistent fat in targeted body areas for a more sculpted appearance.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery elevates breasts by eliminating excess skin and firming the underlying tissue.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess abdominal fat and skin while tightening the abdominal muscles.
Gallery Plastic Surgery is dedicated to delivering expert, compassionate care, ensuring each patient’s journey is seamless from consultation to recovery.
