After massive weight loss, either by diet and exercise or a gastric bypass or other procedure, body improvement can be a challenging event. Here patients often have excess skin of their entire body. A combination of procedures can be planned. Sometimes they are done together and performed in a hospital, and sometimes they can be done as an outpatient. It is very important to seriously look at yourself and decide what are the most important areas to concentrate on first. Body lifts, abdominoplasties, breast lifts, arm lifts, leg, thigh and buttock lifts can all be considered. If severe, facial and neck changes may be approached with corrective surgery.
It is important to have serious and long discussions with the plastic surgeon before undergoing this procedure. You, the patient, need to prioritize the areas you want corrected so we can decide on how to best accomplish your goal.
