Significant weight loss, whether achieved through lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery, or medications like Wegovy and Ozempic, can transform your health and quality of life. However, many individuals find themselves facing a new challenge: excess skin that doesn’t conform to their leaner, healthier bodies. At AMG Plastic Surgery in Northern Virginia, Dr. Amir Ghaznavi specializes in Skin Removal Surgery (Skin Excision) to help patients achieve a smoother, more contoured physique.

What Is Skin Removal Surgery?
Skin Removal Surgery involves the excision of loose, sagging skin that remains after significant weight loss. This procedure can target various areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen (Panniculectomy or Tummy Tuck)
- Arms (Brachioplasty)
- Thighs (Thigh Lift)
- Back (Back Lift)
- Breasts (Breast Lift or Reduction)
Dr. Ghaznavi often combines these procedures to create a comprehensive body contouring plan, ensuring harmonious and natural-looking results.
I’m very happy and pleased with the quality of care and treatment I received at AMG Plastic Surgery. Dr Ghaznavi was very thorough, attentive and caring before, during and after my surgery and continues to be. From the moment I walked in the office, Pam greeted me and helped calm my nerves and has been supportive throughout the entire process and continues to be. I highly recommend this practice for any plastic surgery you need. You will be well taken care of.
