At first abdomen and buttocks and after them thighs, shoulders and breasts are stretched.

While the operation excess skin is excised, fascias are stretched and fixed, which gives us the stable outcome.

Sometimes drainage is needed, which is taken off 2-12 days.

The patient gets back to work in 3 weeks.

Sutures are taken off in 10-12 days. In some cases the sensitiveness of nipple-areola complex might be lost for a while.
