Post-Bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery allows for massive weight loss mainly at the expense of fatty tissue. Following weight loss, the patient gets saggy skin, folds and general flaccidity. In almost all cases, the skin isn’t tight enough and just hangs. This surgery is aimed at repositioning these tissues.
Post-Bariatric surgery involves the whole body; various areas of the body that have been affected after the initial procedure have to be treated. Commonly affected areas are the thighs, arms, abdomen, waist, breasts, buttocks and neck.
The treatment is personalised and depends on the severity of the flabby or saggy areas and the patients' wishes. Surgery is carried out in different stages and some may be combined in one single procedure. The combination of treatment for various areas in a single surgical procedure will depend on the disorder suffered by the patient and the severity of the sequelae after losing fatty tissue.
