For Your New Figure

Obesity affects two of every three people. For those morbidly obese patients, dieting and exercise just doesn’t work. Their excessive weight adversely affects their quality of life and that  of their families. They are in constant discomfort with aching joints and backs. They are high risk candidates to develop ischemic heart disease (IHD), diabetes or cancer. For them Bariatric surgery is their only hope, and their last resort.

Most Bariatric surgeries performed are gastric bypasses. A gastric bypass sections off a section of the stomach and re-routes food to the small intestine. This results in less food intake and a reduction in the calories absorbed by the body.

One drawback to bariatric surgery is that over time the loss of pounds may result in large pockets of loose, sagging, unattractive, excess skin. This excessive skin can continue to interfere or just looking good.

Your Surgeon

Prior to undergoing any Bariatric procedure it is important to consult with your surgeon. Together you can plan to deal with removing the final mark of your obesity. The excess skin left behind after your body looses weight.

Body Contouring

Body contouring can improve your figure and remove the excess skin and fatty deposits that are left after your Bariatric surgery.

The most common post Bariatric body contouring surgeries combine liposuction with excision body lifting. Generally body lifting is divided into the central body and trunk lift, the inner thigh lift, the arm lift and a breast lift or reduction

What will my recovery be like?

You will go home after the procedure and rest for at least 24 hours, after which you may gradually increase your activity as tolerated. Some discomfort and pain is to be expected, but it can be controlled with medication. The bandage over the incision site will be removed the day after surgery and you will be able to shower. Generally, it is necessary to wear a light compression garment two to three weeks after your surgery. All sutures are internal and absorbable. After 2 or 3 days you may resume most non-strenuous activities. Most patients return to work after a week or two. Sport and other strenuous activities are prohibited for at least two months.  

How will my skin look after surgery?

During the first 10 to 14 days, you will be bruised at and the surgical site. Scars will be red for the first few months, but they will gradually fade. Patients who have had liposuction will have more swelling than those who only had a lift performed. The use of smaller cannulas during liposuction allows the fibrous connections between your skin and body to remain. These connections will contract over time, after which the excessive skin folds will be gone. Following your surgery, you will enjoy the new more pleasing youthful shape you desire.
