Post-Bariatric Surgery La Jolla
Many people who lose a significant amount of weight in a short time after bariatric surgery are left with excess amounts of skin. Plastic surgeons help remedy this by using post-bariatric surgery contouring procedures like body lifts and other body sculpting surgeries to remove sagging and drooping skin after the weight is lost.
There’s a lot to be taken in by a patient who chooses to go through bariatric surgery; new dieting habits, lifestyle changes and medical risks along with the possibility of having to contend with excess skin after their weight loss. The solution to that would be body contouring options such as tummy tucks, liposuction and a body lift.
If you are considering post-weight loss surgery and are located in or around La Jolla, Riverside or San Diego, we invite
you to contact Dr Pousti and arrange for your personal, confidential consultation.
Why Body Contouring Surgery After Massive Weight Loss?
Keep in mind that excess skin isn’t just an issue with aesthetics. Sagging skin can lead to hygienic problems. Any skin fold is prone to rashes – a type of yeast infection. Chafing is another problem that can cause great discomfort. There are a variety of options that are available when addressing body contouring after extreme weight loss from bariatric surgery.
