Post-Bariatric surgery
Plastic surgeons use post-bariatric body contouring techniques, including body lifts and other sculpting procedures, to remove the loose or sagging skin that remains after massive weight loss surgery.
These procedures, such as tummy tucks, liposuction, and body lifts, have been used successfully to refine patients’ bodies and help them fully enjoy their daily activities.
Candidates for this Procedure
It can be very frustrating to achieve massive weight loss, only to still struggle with excess skin that prevents you from wearing the clothes you’d like. This excess skin can cause daily discomfort, leading to chafing and potential infections.
Post-weight loss cosmetic surgery is an excellent solution for anyone looking to eliminate loose skin. It is ideal for those seeking to achieve their desired figure after bariatric surgery, pregnancy, or weight loss achieved through diet and exercise.
Bariatric Surgery Patients
Those who have chosen to lose weight through bariatric surgery take on lifelong changes: new eating habits, lifestyle adjustments, and medical care. Added to this huge commitment, post-bariatric cosmetic surgery serves as the final step to remove excess skin that causes irritation and prevents patients from fully enjoying their new bodies.
Surgeries to remove this excess skin and fat include body contouring options such as tummy tucks, liposuction, and body lifts. These procedures are used with great success to redefine the patient’s silhouette and help them enjoy their daily activities with complete comfort and confidence.
Women After Pregnancy
Weight gain during pregnancy is completely normal, as is weight loss after giving birth. However, for women with less skin elasticity or those who have had multiple pregnancies, sagging skin can become an issue.
If pregnancy has left you with excess skin, body contouring surgery can help you regain the slim, defined figure you desire. It is important to keep in mind that future pregnancies can reverse the effects of these procedures, so it is highly recommended to wait until you have decided not to have more children before undergoing this type of surgery.
Patients with Massive Weight Loss and Excess Skin
Whether achieved through bariatric surgery or through diet and exercise, massive weight loss often leaves areas of loose, hanging skin.
If you have managed to lose a significant amount of weight by changing your habits, post-weight loss aesthetic procedures, such as a body lift, are an excellent option for eliminating that sagging skin. Opting for a body lift after your weight loss journey is the best way to finally reveal your new, slender figure.
