Torsoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the torso by removing excess skin and fat, typically after significant weight loss or aging. It targets areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and back, tightening and contouring the torso for a more youthful, toned appearance.
The procedure involves making incisions around the torso, often in discreet areas, to remove the excess skin and fat. The remaining skin is then tightened to create a smoother, more defined shape. Recovery includes swelling, bruising, and discomfort, and patients are typically advised to wear compression garments to aid in healing and skin adherence.
Torsoplasty is particularly beneficial for individuals with significant skin laxity in the torso area and can help restore body proportions. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is key to preserving the results.
