Episode 22 hosts Dr Jeremy Hunt (Plastic Surgeon based in Sydney, Australia)

Jeremy joins us again to discuss an increasingly common procedure - massive weight loss surgery. In very overweight patients who diet, exercise or have bariatric surgery, they can lose up to 100kg. But instead of looking and feeling great, they can be left with large amounts of excess skin and tissue hanging from their body.

It's a difficult situation and we explore the surgical options including butt & body lifts, abdominoplasties, brachioplasties and more.⠀
