Dr. Debby is so personable and informative. I always feel comfortable and never pressured. And, she is great at what she does. I have refered her to several family and friends. The office staff are so sweet and helpful. I am loving my results from Morphious8 so far!! I'm excited about my follow up!

Dr. Debbie Taurek did my Botox procedure. She took her time to make sure of what was needed and to make sure it was done right. she answered all my questions for this time, and for my next procedure. she is very professional and nice.

Dr. Ford is just magical. Her work has changed my life. She is just gifted in her abilities. [Single best thing is...] How she was able to achieve the results she did with such little to work with. My results were way beyond my expectations.

Chelsea is very thorough and professional. She knows her Botox that's fir sure ! She's the best and I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family [Name]

[Single best thing is...] I feel like me again. I have not felt more comfortable in my own skin in 13 years . I absolutely love my body now and it feels amazing. I haven’t been so happy in such a long time. Dr. Ford not only fixed my most insecure area of my body but made me feel like me again.

Everyone in the office was professional from the time you walk in. I never felt uneasy about any part of my experience.

Dr. Hill didn't judge me for being a little more pounds that I should be for my height and weight. He's kind and friendly. He answers all your questions. I'm looking forward to my breast augmentation surgery date.

Dr. Brian Eichenberg is very professional and kind. I had my breast augmentation a year ago and I'm very satisfied with my results. I definitely highly recommend Dr. Eichenberg and his team work to give them your trust in a surgery process. I'm very pleased with all the work Dr. Eichenberg did in my breast augmentation.

Chelsea really spent time with me. I had some Botox 2x before with unpleasant results in my forehead. We went super conservative so that I wouldn't have my brows sag. And they didn't. She did a great job explaining everything to me and making me feel comfortable "It helped the appearance of the deep lines in my forehead"

Dr. Hill was incredibly compassionate and always made me feel at ease. He took his time and never rushed. His staff, Helen, was a godsend and was quick to always help me with my needs. The whole office from front staff to back staff are welcoming, kind and make you feel cared for.

Excess Skin Removal FAQ

How much weight do I need to have lost to qualify for excess skin removal?

Most surgeons recommend maintaining a stable weight for 6-12 months before surgery. While there is no strict weight loss threshold, we typically recommend that the patient reach their goal weight and be weight stable for 6-12 months before undergoing any surgery. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific case, skin elasticity, and overall health to determine the best approach.

Will insurance cover my excess skin removal surgery?

Insurance coverage varies. While cosmetic procedures are typically not covered, some cases with documented medical complications—like chronic skin infections, severe rashes, or mobility issues—might qualify for partial coverage. We can help you navigate insurance documentation and provide the necessary medical evidence.

How painful is the recovery, and how long will I be out of commission?

Pain levels vary, but most patients describe it as manageable with prescribed pain medication. The first week involves the most discomfort, similar to an intense workout. Most office workers return to desk jobs within 2-4 weeks, while those with physical jobs might need 4-6 weeks off. We provide comprehensive pain management and recovery strategies tailored to your specific procedure.

Will I have visible scars, and how can I minimize them?

Scarring is inevitable with excess skin removal, but our techniques minimize and strategically place incisions. We use advanced closure methods and provide detailed scar management protocols. Most scars fade significantly over 12-18 months. We’ll discuss scar placement, recommend medical-grade scar treatments, and provide guidance on protection and healing.

How much skin will actually be removed?

The amount varies widely based on your body, weight loss, and specific areas treated. Some patients have 5-10 pounds of skin removed, while others might have less.

Can I combine this with other procedures?

Many patients combine excess skin removal with additional body contouring procedures, such as liposuction or muscle repair. We will assess your overall goals and medical history to recommend safe, comprehensive treatment plans that maximize your results and minimize recovery time.

What are the risks of this surgery?

Like any major surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, and anesthesia complications. Our rigorous pre-surgical screening, advanced surgical techniques, and meticulous post-operative care minimize these risks. During the consultation, we will thoroughly discuss your individual risk factors. We will also talk with you about your aftercare and can recommend post-operative healthcare providers if you need additional help at home following surgery.

How long will the results last?

Results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations, future pregnancies, or natural aging can impact your results. We provide comprehensive guidance on maintaining your new body contour.

When can I exercise and return to normal activities?

Light walking begins immediately after surgery. Most patients can resume light exercises around 4-6 weeks and full-intensity workouts around 8-12 weeks. We provide a personalized recovery roadmap and closely monitor your healing to ensure safe, optimal recovery.

What should I do to prepare for surgery?

Preparation is key. We recommend:

Reaching and maintaining a stable weight for 6-12 months
Quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery
Maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated
Arranging post-surgery support and recovery space
Completing all pre-surgical medical screenings
