Weight loss surgery has become increasingly popular, but once the patient has lost the weight they can often be left with massive amounts of excess skin that will not shrink back into place once the skin has been stretched.

There are a number of surgical procedures that can tackle this problem and Mr Richard Karoo offers all these procedures to his Cardiff patients. They include a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, breast uplift and/or reduction and thigh lift, buttock lifting, reverse abdominoplasty and upper back lift.

These normally have to be staged in their approach and timing to optimise the results and help achieve a safe recovery.
