Surgery after Weight loss
For various reasons, some people are able to lose weight on their own while others chose weight loss surgery. Bariatric Surgery and Gastric Bypass Surgery are surging in popularity. To take the bold step and lose a large amount of weight is not only brave, but a powerful boost to your appearance, self-esteem, and long-term health.
Unfortunately, with massive weight loss in a short time, skin often does not shrink well. Body contouring plastic surgery can help deal with this extra skin and give such individuals a new image after losing weight.
Plastic and reconstructive has so much to offer. Using a combination of liposuction, skin excision, and breast procedures, Dr. Gahankari can help you show your accomplishment to the world! The surgical approach is a combination of the traditional upper body lift and lower body lift.
In brief, liposuction is used to remove the excess fat that remains after initial weight loss. Large amounts of skin is removed Once the contours have been distinguished, the skin is laid back into place and sutured.The incision for the upper body lift encircles the chest; women often find that they can partially hide their scars with their breasts and bras. Body hair may make the line less noticeable on men's chests.
When performing surgery on the upper body, Dr. Gahankari can also perform male breast reduction to give men firmer chests. For female patients, a breast lift or breast reduction can help reduce sagging and improve the appearance and silhouette of the breasts. An arm lift is another form of plastic surgery often required after massive weight loss. The decision to perform any of these procedures is made during initial consultations. Surgery for the lower body involves removing excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and liposculpture are often used to firm up the waistline and buttocks before the excess skin is treated.
As with every kind of plastic surgery, post weight loss surgery carries some risks, including possible infection, delayed wound healing, asymmetry, and other medical complications. It is important to follow all instructions and advice given to before and after the surgery.
