Hi, I'm recently lost almost 100lbs and am now left with this large apron of fat...it is beginning to cause me pain. I am not done loosing weight, but was wondering if having it removed before i have reached my goal was ideal because of the pain it is now causing?

Answer: Surgery before reaching goal weight Dear khitt,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Not at goal weight? Congratulations on losing your 100 ponds. I would suggest to you that your large apron of skin is keeping you in pain and keeping you from achieving your weight loss goals as it makes it harder to exercise. With a formal consultation, I can provide you with an estimate of how much the excess skin weighs and how much closer successfully removing the skin will get you closer to your goal. Thanks for your question.
