Removal of Excess Skin and Fat From the Thigh

California rates for HCPCS 15832

Surgery that cuts away a fold of loose, hanging skin together with the fat beneath it from the thigh, then closes the area to leave a smoother contour. It is most often done after large weight loss, when skin does not shrink back on its own and the overhang causes rubbing, rashes, and difficulty with clothing and movement.
