What is post-bariatric/weight loss surgery?
The goal of these procedures is to remove excess skin that remains following substantial weight loss. This eliminates skin that may hang over revealing clothing, or may be noticeable when patients wear shorts, skirts, or tank tops.
What types of body contouring procedures are performed?
Each patient is evaluated to determine what the best procedures are for each individual. In most cases, patients may integrate any of the below treatments into their body contouring surgical plan:
- Thigh lift
- Breast lift
- Upper arm lift
- Lower body lift
- Abdominoplasty
Additionally, if patients are looking at having a breast lift, they may also integrate the placement of implants at the same time. It is not uncommon for women to combine a breast lift and breast augmentation during their procedure.
Which ones are right for me?
Dr. Samuel Lin evaluates patients and listens to their unique concerns to determine which procedures are right for their needs. Not everyone has sagging skin in the same areas, especially depending on how long they experienced obesity which can affect skin laxity and its ability to bounce back after weight loss.
