Post Bariatric Weight Loss

Bariatric surgery can be highly successful in helping morbidly obese patients lose weight. After the procedure, patients are often able to enjoy not only significant weight loss but also greater mobility, relief of symptoms and a lower risk of weight-related disease – not to mention a boost in self-confidence. One unfortunate result is that the skin hangs loose over the slimmer body.

Post-bariatric plastic surgery combines reconstructive and cosmetic techniques to tighten, lift and contour sagging skin after massive weight loss for a more attractive appearance. The patient may choose to treat the arms, breasts, abdomen, buttocks, thighs or other areas.
