Empty, sagging skin wrinkles may appear after a considerable weight reduction. If these are too large for them to regress spontaneously, or if the tissue sags down unattractively due to a general weakness of the connective tissue, then an improvement of the body contour can only be achieved through a corresponding firming operation. Excess tissue is thereby removed in a targeted way. We thereby place the suture at a place that is as invisible as possible.

This operation is most frequently performed on abdominal skin, the inside of the thigh and the upper arms.
