After Weight Loss
Bariatric surgery and gastric bypass surgery generate very large weight loss in patients. Large-scale quick weight loss can result in massive folds of loose skin that will not shrink or go away. These folds commonly appear around the abdomen, waist, legs, arms, breast, and neck. Surgeons can perform a variety of operations to correct this problem. Plastic surgery that follows bariatric surgery and significant weight loss is a very specialized type of plastic surgery that requires experience. New plastic surgery techniques make it possible to perform skin reduction surgery on virtually any part of the body.
After a patient loses a massive amount of weight in a short time, the skin often does not shrink well or back to a smaller size. Body contouring plastic surgery can help the patient deal with the extra skin and give the patient a new silhouette and body image.
