Men and women who undergo significant weight loss are to be commended, having overcome a big burden in their life. However, while their weight loss represents a huge accomplishment, in many cases they will be faced with more frustrations. The new challenge is usually the loose skin that remains on the body. Significant weight loss commonly leaves individuals with skin that cannot conform to their new size. Regardless of where the loose skin resides, plastic surgery is needed to resolve the issue. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle offers after weight loss surgical treatment to Raleigh, NC men and women at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center, which can be life changing and a lasting step in their weight loss journey.
Ideal Candidates
The ideal candidates for after weight loss surgery are those who have loose and wrinkled skin due to a massive weight loss or fluctuation. This is usually visible early on during weight loss. If you are challenged by loose skin, cosmetic skin removal at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center can eliminate sagging and secure the tissue and remaining skin for a healthy, tighter look. It is important patients are close to their goal weight before considering skin removal surgery.
Surgical Technique
Plastic surgery to remove loose skin is almost always considered a major treatment. It is performed using general anesthesia and on average takes about 3 – 7 hours (but this is dependent upon the combination of procedures). In most cases, an overnight stay is necessary. A form of liposuction may be integrated during surgery to remove fat followed by the surgical removal of skin. But in most instances- excision alone is performed.
This operation does make larger incisions than most other cosmetic surgeries, so varying degrees of scars will be associated with this treatment. During surgery, Dr. Lyle will try to make the incisions as inconspicuous as possible. He or a member of his team will give you thorough scar healing instructions for an effective outcome.
Reach Your Goals
Weight loss is such a wonderful accomplishment, and we congratulate you if you have met your goal transformation. If stretched-out skin is a problem, Dr. Lyle welcomes you to learn about your options for skin removal surgery.

Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center Reviews
I saw Kat for a chemical peel and had an amazing experience. She was very consultative and explained the treatment and what to expect in great detail. I got a VI peel for my acne and I think it definitely helped! I experienced a lot of peeling as pictured but by like day 7-9 I was good to go!
WOW! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lyle and his team! I had a breast augmentation done last month and the entire experience has been nothing short of wonderful! I was nervous beginning this journey, but Dr. Lyle and everyone at his practice made me feel very comfortable and were so supportive from start to finish. I honestly wish I could do it all over again! Dr. Lyle is very calming, listens to his patients, and truly is an artist at what he does! I have had several people ask me who my surgeon was and of course I am proud and excited to tell them Dr. Lyle and his wonderful team at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center! I could not be happier with the results! My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!! I am an RN and had pretty high standards beginning this process but Dr. Lyle and his team far exceeded them! The office is absolutely beautiful as well, even my husband commented on how relaxed he felt sitting in the waiting room. They have an awesome Instagram page too with really good information and education about different types of procedures, aesthetic treatments, surgeries, etc. The whole experience has me wanting to become an aesthetic nurse! Thank you to Dr. Lyle and his incredible team!!
Team is amazing, surgery perfect, realistic expectations and after care. Had three consultations before hand. Made the right choice with Dr.Lyle! (Tummy tuck)
I had a fantastic experience at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics! From start to finish, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. I got lip fillers and the entire process was smooth and comfortable. My aesthetic nurse, Haley took the time to understand my goals and delivered beautiful, natural-looking results. I’m beyond happy with my experience and will definitely be returning for future treatments. Highly recommend!
Dr. Lyle and his staff members are amazing! While visiting his office, I met with an esthetician, financial advisor, nurses, PA's and Dr. Lyle himself. Every experience at this office has been fantastic, everyone is so nice and kind. I had a tummy tuck performed and my stomach looks better than it did in high school! I am so pleased with the outcome...and so is my husband 😊! I would highly recommend Dr. Lyle and will be returning for anything I might need in the future.

What to Expect
Once released from our care, it is important to allow a week or two to recover at home. Draining tubes may be implanted near the incision areas to help control drainage, and compression medical garments should be worn to help with swelling. For the average person, it takes roughly 2 – 4 weeks to begin resuming light activities, but it could take longer depending on the level of invasiveness. Dr. Lyle finds that most of his patients are back to normal around 4 – 6 months. Skin removal surgery can be life changing for patients, with amazing results that are immediate. Finally, you will feel confident and wear the clothes you were too uncomfortable to wear and partake in activities without loose skin keeping you from the things you love to do.
