From start to finish everyone was fantastic! My results were better then I could ever imagined. My breast feel so real I am so pleased!

Dr.Eichenberg is very caring and listens to the needs of his patients. His office is very organized and professional. His nurse Patty is very compassionate and is highly focused on my needs during each visit. I never feel rushed by her. Dr. Eichenberg is the same as well. I had a somewhat complicated tummy tuck that other plastic surgeons were hesitant to perform. Not only did Dr. Eichenberg address all of my concerns he came through with great results. When I was having pain problems the weekend after the procedure my husband was able to get a hold of Dr. Eichenberg quickly and my medication was adjusted and the problem was solved. I can go on and on about all of the merits of this office but my Highly Satisfied" ratings say it all!"

Chelsea was very thorough in explaining everything. She took the time to listen to what my expectations were and my fears. After discussing everything I had fillers and Botox done. I love it! She was wonderful!

She was kind and very knowledgeable. I had an issue in the past with Botox causing me headaches and pressure in my sinus area. She suggested using a lesser amount, taking Advil immediately, and drinking water. I did get a mild headache, but did as she suggested, and within 90 minutes it was gone and did not return. The results were great. I just wanted mild results, and I am very happy with them!

The doctor really listened to my concerns and offered good solutions to my requests. He and the nurses are caring and kind. He removed scar tissue and changed placement of nipples, prior to this both caused me to be self conscious of my breasts and inhibited at being seen naked. Now I feel more womanly once again. I am very well pleased with the outcome of the procedure.

Dr. Filip and his team are wonderful. I felt safe and confident that I was in the best hands possible. They always have an open door policy no matter how small my concerns or questions were they were kind and made me feel at ease. I trust Dr. Filip and his staff competently. I met with other surgeons before I met with Dr. Filip, after my initial consultation I knew that he was the best surgeon, I was instantly comfortable. He did not sell me on other procedures, he was the only one that asked me specific questions as to what I was unhappy with. No one else did that! Simply the best care before and after the procedure! [Single best thing is...] The care and understanding of my nervousness before and after the procedure.

I was highly satisfied because I trust DR. Debbie, she makes me feel comfortable and I am happy with the results, would highly recommend

I love everything about the Renuance Surgery Center. I immediately felt very comfortable with Dr. Eichenburgh which was my main concern going into surgery. He is so friendly, helpful and thorough during the consultation. His staff is amazing and I cannot wait to have my surgery done!

Dr Ford made me feel very comfortable and was there to answer all my questions and saw me usually the same day that I called in with a concern. My recovery has been slow due to infection but this was not do to Dr error but more of issues with my body and its scarring process. Dr Ford is very personable and down to earth and I would recommend her to everyone.

I had old implants of 35 years taken out and replaced. Dr. Eichenberg gave me exactly what I asked for. I love my new breast.

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
