Bariatric plastic surgery can help an individual achieve the best possible body shape by removing loose skin, tightening loose muscles, and removing excess residual fat from the body that may remain after significant weight loss with weight loss surgery.
Cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as the tummy tuck, body lift, and liposuction can help successful bariatric patients improve their overall appearance and comfort.
After Rapid Weight Loss
After weight loss surgery, bariatric patients usually lose a substantial amount of weight in a relatively short amount of time. With rapid weight loss, however, the skin does not always shrink so well. Individuals who have lost a lot of weight are typically left with loose hanging skin about the abdomen, back, thighs, and other parts of the body, as well as loose muscles and small areas of unsightly fat tissue.
Improve Appearance and Comfort
Cosmetic plastic surgery that is performed to remove excess skin after weight loss not only improves appearance but also helps make an individual more comfortable. Loose drooping skin, especially around the abdomen, can be uncomfortable and bothersome. Any type of physical activity, even sitting and standing, can cause annoying skin movements. Many patients are not able to find clothing that feels comfortable or fits properly. Also, it may be difficult to keep the skin clean under the large folds of skin around the abdomen, leading to skin irritation, skin rashes, pain and infection.
