Agent Smith - 01 May 2006 23:23 GMT Does Starr Jones have giant folds of loose flesh flapping around underneath her clothes?

But they do exist, right? Is there a way to get rid of those things?

The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

And perhaps some other tucks. All those massive quantities of hanging flesh are so much more than the tiny quantities doctors would normally remove in a dainty little "tuck,"

It seems to be a pretty drastic procedure with considerable downtime but as I remember it's basically like an old-fashioned facelift, but for the whole body -- skin is basically pulled tight and "shrinkwrapped" around the body, with any excess snipped off. It sounds pretty disgusting, but then again, those flaps.... It's really for morbidly obese people who lost a great deal of weight, but I suppose that would cover Star Jones. Was she morbidly obese?

They've done it several times on "Extreme Makeover." Yes, it's very traumatic for the patient. It takes a long time to recover. One man, who lost a couple hundred pounds and had curtains of loose flesh hanging off his body, had really serious complications.
However, that "body lift" surgery is the only way to get rid of the excess. I believe it costs upward of $50K or so.

That's pretty much what I'd expected. If I were them, instead of taking off *all* the vast quantities of loose flesh at once, I'd take it off in individual pieces. That would spare the parient the intense trauma of loging so many pieces of his body, all at the same time.

It would be nice if the skin was harvested for transplanting/grafting for people with horrible burns or other catastrophic injury. Or would there be too big of a rejection concern?

Or would > there be too big of a rejection concern? That's an extremely clever idea, although if we want to decide whether it mkes sense, we first have to learn how many hours of non-stop vascular surgery would be required to properly attach so many square feet of transplant tissue. Can anybody in sci.med comment on the numbers and sizes of blood vessels that would have to be reattached, and the required time per vasculum, in the case of, say, 75% burn coverage?

How many extra hours under anaesthesia would that be?

At worst, I think that it might only increase the time under anaesthesia by 25% - 35%, and it might even be better than that, say 5% - 15%, depending on how quickly they can put you to sleep and bring you out from under the anaesthesia.
However, it would probably drastically increase the amount of time spent in the recovery ward, by say 5x, if you went in for 5 surgeries.

Have you ever undergone surgery?? I have, twice. None was invasive or "important", max 90 min under anaesthesia, and each time it took me two good weeks to recover - and let's not even mention the pain and discomfort! Believe me, no one would want to go through that "trauma" many times, when it can be done once and for all.

I just had a GED done on my esophagus, and I was amazed at how little anaesthesia it required. They put me to sleep for ten minutes or so, took their photos, and I walked out under my own power.

Oh, yes, that's comparable... LOL
