As a result, it is no surprise that in recent years there has been a sharp increase in Greece in surgical procedures for the treatment of obesity (gastric band, gastric balloon, gastroplasty, etc.).
The great success of these procedures has led to the emergence of a new “epidemic”: today there is a large number of men and women who, after losing 20–30 up to even 100 kilograms over 18–24 months of significant effort and hardship, end up facing both psychological and physical problems, as their bodies literally “sag.”
Massive weight loss often results in significant skin laxity, which becomes particularly noticeable in the abdomen, back, thighs, buttocks, arms, breasts, and even the face and neck. As a result, many patients continue to feel uncomfortable with their bodies despite their major weight loss.

Plastic surgery can offer solutions for these patients through specialized procedures aimed at removing excess skin and restoring body contour.
These procedures include abdominoplasty, brachioplasty (arm lift), thigh lift, buttock lift, and breast lift, and are usually combined with liposuction for improved results.
Although combining these procedures may seem appealing, for greater patient safety and optimal outcomes it is preferable that they are performed in stages. Typically, treatment begins with the abdomen, followed by the breasts, arms, legs, and finally the face.
