IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR POST-BARIATRIC PLASTIC SURGERY
The ideal candidates for skin removal surgery are those who have stretched and hanging skin due to losing a significant amount of weight quickly either through natural methods or bariatric surgery. Generally, this issue is noticed early on as the body begins to change shape. If you have hanging skin, after weight loss surgery can remove the problem and secure the underlying tissue for a healthy, tighter look. It is important that you be at or near your goal weight before undergoing this surgery.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR POST-BARIATRIC PLASTIC SURGERY
Cosmetic skin removal surgery is generally considered a major treatment. It is performed using general anesthesia and can take about 3 – 7 hours, depending on how many procedures are combined. In most cases, an overnight stay is necessary. Fat removal is usually used during surgery to remove fat tissue followed by skin excision. Plastic surgery of this nature does require larger incisions than less invasive cosmetic surgeries so scarring will be associated with this treatment. During surgery, every attempt is made by Dr. Kasden to place the incisions as inconspicuous as possible. Dr. Kasden or a member of his team will give you specific scar care instructions for an effective outcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH POST-BARIATRIC PLASTIC SURGERY
Once released from the surgery center, it is important to take a few days to recover at home. Tubes may be placed near the incision sites to help control drainage and medical garments should be worn to minimize swelling. On average, it takes roughly 2 – 4 weeks until you will feel good enough to resume low-impact activities but depending on the treatment plan, it could take longer. Dr. Kasden finds that most of his patients are almost fully healed around 4 – 6 months. This surgery can be life changing for patients with visible results that are immediate. Finally, you will be able to wear the clothes you want and move freely without layers of wrinkled skin slowing you down.
