Bariatric surgery can often help considerably with weight loss so quickly that excess skin and fat deposits can become a major factor after surgery. Post-bariatric surgery helps alleviate difficulties with unwanted skin after massive weight loss. With this procedure, patients can complete an important step in their physical transformation.
After rapid weight loss, excess skin can be a considerable problem, as there is no other way to remove the skin other than surgery. Mayo-Clinic trained, board-certified Nashville plastic surgeon Chad M. Robbins, M.D., F.A.C.S., will consult with you to address the areas where you need assistance, as every patient is affected differently after bariatric surgery. Multiple incisions will be made depending on your goals and preferences, requiring an inpatient procedure.
Post-bariatric surgery is often necessary to eliminate unwanted soft tissue and contour the new shape of your body, but can result in a vastly improved self-image. After stabilizing your weight loss, this procedure can be the final step to achieving your vision.
