Summary

Excess skin on the abdomen is a common problem for many individuals after massive weight loss. The surgical procedure of abdominoplasty is intended to remove excess skin and improve the shape of the torso in abdomen, in order to address issues such as skin fold eczema, difficulties finding clothing, and psychosocial issues. The investigators will conduct a randomized, controlled trial where individuals with excess skin on the abdomen will be randomized to either standard abdominoplasty or abdominoplasty in combination with liposuction. The investigators will examine the rate of complications, and the functional and aesthetical outcomes of the two methods.
