Arrange an appointment with a certified plastic surgeon for a complete evaluation of your excess skin. When there are functional issues due to excess skin, sometimes you medical insurance will cover all or part of the costs of corrective surgery.

Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without photographs or true sense as to your skin excess, it is difficult to offer advice. Seek out a series of consultations with ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to get the best idea on surgical treatments and relative costs.
