If you\u2019ve recently gone through extreme weight loss, then you might know a thing or two about dealing with excess, saggy skin. It\u2019s incredibly frustrating to work so incredibly hard on your body only to have to live with another problem that makes it hard to wear certain clothes, exercise, and move freely. Lucky for you, there\u2019s a series of body contouring procedures called\u00a0Post-Bariatric Plastic Surgery<\/a>\u00a0that can help you get the body you deserve.<\/p>\n

LOWER BODY LIFT (CIRCUMFERENTIAL ABDOMINOPLASTY)<\/h2>\n

This procedure is great for removing large amounts of excess skin and fat from the lower body, and it\u2019s great for creating dramatic results. This procedure is almost like a more substantial form of the tummy tuck; a lower body lift will tighten and lift areas from the lower back, trunk, upper thighs, outer thighs, buttocks, and flanks. It also tightens the abdominal muscles to give your belly a more athletic look.<\/p>\n

Incision:<\/strong>\u00a0Your incision will be horizontal and span the width of your body, kind of like a belt. It can be easily covered up by your underwear or pants.<\/p>\n

Recovery:<\/strong>\u00a0You will need to stay overnight in a hospital for one or two nights.<\/p>\n

Recovery Gear:<\/strong>\u00a0Compression garments, and possibly drains and removable sutures.<\/p>\n

BREAST LIFT (MASTOPEXY)<\/h2>\n

A\u00a0breast lift<\/a>\u00a0removes excess fatty tissue and skin to lift the breasts into a perkier, youthful shape.<\/p>\n

Incisions:<\/strong>\u00a0there\u2019s actually a wide variety of incisions that either go around the areola, go down from the areola to the breast crease, along the breast crease, or a combination of multiple incisions. Your incision pattern will depend on the amount of sagging, size of the areola, and shape and size of the breast.<\/p>\n

Recovery:<\/strong>\u00a0You can return to your job after a week or so.<\/p>\n

Recovery Gear:<\/strong>\u00a0Compression bras and possibly some drains.<\/p>\n

THIGH LIFT<\/h2>\n

This procedure contours the thighs to help you gain more freedom of movement.<\/p>\n

Incision:<\/strong>\u00a0Your incisions will be hidden on the inside of the leg, and go from the knee all the way to the groin.<\/p>\n

Recovery:<\/strong>\u00a0You can resume regular activities after 1-2 weeks and start exercising after 3-4 weeks.<\/p>\n

Recovery Gear:<\/strong>\u00a0Compression garments and drains placed in the incisions.<\/p>\n

ARM LIFT (BRACHIOPLASTY)<\/h2>\n

Excessive skin that hangs down from the arms is more commonly known as \u201cbat wings,\u201d and they\u2019re removed by cutting out and tightening extra skin.\u00a0Liposuction<\/a>\u00a0can also be used to remove any excess fat in the arms.<\/p>\n

Incision:<\/strong>\u00a0Your incisions will be hidden on the inside of your arm, and won\u2019t be easily seen with your arms by your side.<\/p>\n

Recovery:<\/strong>\u00a0You might experience some temporary numbness early in your recovery, but you should be able to return to work after a week.<\/p>\n

Gear:<\/strong>\u00a0Compression garments and drains if you decide to also get liposuction.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to get your body back?\u00a0Contact<\/a>\u00a0a compassionate, talented surgeon like\u00a0Dr. Beale<\/a>\u00a0to schedule a consultation and find out more about post-bariatric plastic surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
