Surgery After Weight Loss Testimonials
What procedures are available after massive weight loss?
Tummy Tuck – Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, removes excess fat and skin from the belly, smoothing and flattening the stomach while tightening the underlying six-pack muscles.
Panniculectomy – Although not usually associated with weight loss, a panniculectomy is used to describe the removal of what is typically a large, burdensome wedge of skin and fat in the lower abdomen.
Arm lift – An arm lift is performed to sculpt and trim the upper arms, removing unwanted fat and skin for a more streamlined, beach-ready appearance. The incision is well hidden on the inside of the arm between the elbow and the armpit.
Thigh lift – Redundant skin along the inner thighs and knees is a common occurrence with massive weight loss. Removing this skin helps to minimize contour irregularities and bring a more uniform shape to the lower extremities.
Breast lift – This surgery is helpful in treating breast ptosis or excess sagging. It can help remove droopy skin and restore the nipple to a more visually pleasing position. A breast lift can be performed in tandem with breast augmentation if the breast lacks sufficient volume.
Liposuction – The role of liposuction in massive weight loss is slightly different. Liposuction in this setting is used to debulk or deflate areas where fat loss may have plateaued or is still inadequate. Subsequent skin removal is maximized when liposuction is used to deflate areas such as the arms or thighs prior to skin removal.
What is body contouring after weight loss?
In many individuals, massive weight loss is one of life’s ultimate achievements. It is a giant leap toward health, wellness, and longevity. With extreme weight loss, the incidence of having deflated, loose, redundant skin folds is almost inevitable. Extra skin on the stomach, breasts, lower back, arms, and thighs is not only frustrating aesthetically but can result in chronic chafing, fungal infections, self-consciousness, and in some cases, depression.
Am I a candidate for a post-bariatric body lift?
The best candidates for a post-bariatric body lift are patients who have recently undergone a massive loss of weight after having gastric bypass surgery or other similar procedure, as well as those who have lost large amounts of weight through dieting or exercise and who now have large volumes of excess skin. While a body lift can certainly be done almost immediately after losing significant amounts of weight, the ideal candidate is one who has also managed to maintain their weight at or near their ideal weight for three to six months after surgery. Ideal candidates for a post-bariatric body lift in Charlotte, NC:
- Have excess skin that hangs from the abdomen, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, knees, or arms
- Have adopted a healthy lifestyle and maintained a stable body weight for 3 to 6 months
- Have allowed the skin to settle and adjust following their significant weight loss
- Have realistic expectations for the procedure and have allotted recovery time
- Are non-smokers in good health, physically capable of safely undergoing a surgery
