Changes of Body Shape after massive
weight loss

As a result of the severe weight loss, there is a significant excess of inelastic skin, with typical formation of sagging skin sacs with deep creases (with chronic skin inflammation).

The excess of inelastic skin and residual fat leads to typical contour deformities in various body regions:

Head and neck region : A drooping neck deformity "turkey neck deformity"
Upper Limb : A typical excess of skin in the sense of a "wingsuit deformity"
Upper and lower trunk : “Sagging breasts” and a typical ring formation ("Michelin man" deformity)
Lower Limb : A typical excess of skin in the sense of an "empty pant deformity"

What are the consequences of changes in body shape after massive weight loss?

Body and Soul: Changes in body shape after massive weight loss lead to physical, aesthetic / psychological and / or functional impairments:

Physical : Chronic inflammation in deep skin folds leads to an unpleasant odor, which often leads to a social isolation of the patient
Aesthetic/Psychological : The unaesthetic body shape can be a great psychological burden for the patient.
Functional : Large skin fat pads can become mechanical obstacles to locomotion. B. in the area of the inside of the thighs it comes to abrasion of the skin, with chronic wounds and scarring. A large hanging fat apron can severely impair normal locomotion or even make it impossible.
