Excess Skin Removal Overview
Consultation
Your path to renewed confidence begins with a consultation with Dr. Hunsicker.
During this visit, she’ll review your medical history, listen to your concerns and goals, and answer your questions. If excess skin removal surgery in Littleton, CO, feels like the right next step, our team will schedule your pre-op appointment and select a surgery date.
Pre-Op
You’ll meet with Dr. Hunsicker for your pre-op appointment 2 weeks before your procedure.
She’ll walk you through the finalized surgical plan, share important pre-surgery instructions, and ensure you feel informed and prepared. You’ll also receive a surgical package, including helpful items like Hibiclens surgical scrub, probiotics, scar cream, and other tools designed to support your healing process.
Surgery & Follow-Up
On the day of surgery, we ask that you arrive at least 2 hours early so you have a smooth check-in.

Pre-Care Instructions
To help prepare your body for surgery, we provide a green smoothie recipe and protein drinks. Proper nutrition plays a key role in supporting your body’s strength and resilience during recovery.
Set up your home for a smooth, comfortable recovery. Be sure to take a break from daily responsibilities, following the guidance provided by Dr. Hunsicker.
Post-Care Instructions
Follow all instructions for your prescribed medications carefully. You may also use over-the-counter options like Tylenol to manage discomfort.
Do not take NSAIDs, and refrain from strenuous activities. Avoid hot tubs, swimming pools, bathtubs, or submerging your body in water.
Allow your body the rest it needs to heal. Take time off work as recommended, and gently cleanse your incision sites during recovery.
Excess skin can result from weight loss or significant lifestyle changes. When fat cells diminish, they can leave behind sagging skin in places where the fat used to live. This typically happens as a result of weight loss surgery, childbirth, or similar circumstances.
We do not provide other surgeries concurrently with excess skin removal. It’s best to allow your body to heal completely before undergoing a different procedure. During your consultation, share your body goals with Dr. Hunsicker. We can discuss scheduling your desired procedure at a future date.
Total recovery from excess skin removal surgery in Littleton, CO, can take up to 6 weeks. We recommend taking sufficient time off work and arranging for someone to assist you with common activities for the first week.
