LIFT PLASTIC SURGERY

Surgery after Massive Weight Loss

Bariatric Surgery has become an increasingly common solution for weight loss and controlling the medical problems associated with obesity. After bariatric surgery, there is typically a period of significant weight loss, after which patients are left with significant amounts of extra skin, often all over the body.

Why surgery after Weight Loss?

It can be an enormous disappointment and quite frustrating to a patient who has gone through so much and put in so much effort to lose the weight, only now to be stuck with a suit of loose skin that they cannot get rid of even with regular exercise.

This can cause problems with chafing, infections, rashes, and sores, difficulty fitting into clothes and trouble exercising post-bariatric surgery. This is not to mention a lack of confidence in your body image. The weight loss also affects the contour of the body in that the chest, buttocks and other areas tend to become deflated leaving one with flabby or loose skin.
