Have Excess Skin After Bariatric Surgery? These Surgeries Can Help
Bariatric surgery is designed to help you improve weight loss and prevent weight gain by bypassing or removing most of your stomach and/or intestine. In the months before and after bariatric surgery, most people lose a significant amount of weight. This can leave skin looking loose and saggy.
At DiGeronimo MD Advanced Plastic Surgery in Doral, Florida, Dr. Ernest M. DiGeronimo offers a full range of cosmetic procedures to lift and tighten different areas that may have been affected by recent and significant weight loss.
Depending on how much extra weight you were carrying and how long you were overweight or obese, your skin may slowly snap back into place. However, for many bariatric surgery patients, skin has been stretched too far to return to its original shape. That’s where specific types of cosmetic surgery can help.
Excess skin removal
Dr. DiGeronimo offers multiple cosmetic surgeries that can help remove excess skin from problem spots and help you feel more self confident and comfortable.
Tummy tuck
A tummy tuck is one of the most common areas of the body to need attention after bariatric surgery. Weight loss around the middle of your body can leave large folds of skin hanging down around your waist. A tummy tuck can remove excess skin and reposition your remaining skin naturally for a flatter, tighter look.
Thigh lift or arm lift
Another place where extra skin can hang unattractively after bariatric surgery is around your thighs. A thigh lift will get rid of unwanted skin and draw remaining skin smoothly over your thighs, leaving your upper legs more toned-looking. An arm lift can do the same to your upper arms, getting rid of “bat wings.”
Breast lift
Being larger can mean a lot of extra fat stored in the breast tissue. After weight loss, you can get a breast lift to remove excess skin, raise and recontour your breasts, and reposition your nipples for a perkier, more youthful look.
Neck or face lift
A double or triple chin before bariatric surgery typically hangs down like a wattle afterwards, an empty sac of skin with not much inside. A neck lift can give you back a clean looking jawline and slimmer throat. A face lift can smooth out your face by removing loose and sagging skin, giving you a younger appearance that fits your new aesthetic.
After excess skin removal
Expect your recovery to take four to six weeks before you start feeling better, and an additional few months before all the swelling subsides and you get your first real look at your final results.
If you need several areas of your body contoured, your doctor may do several sections at once, and leave time for recovery between others.
