Losing a tremendous amount of excess weight via bariatric surgery is a major, hard-fought accomplishment. You have every reason to be proud of your achievement. Your body is healthier, and you celebrate your appearance. The loss of all of that heft, however, has left behind all of the skin that held the fat. A plastic surgeon can free you of the skin with a series of treatments called “body contouring.”
The office of MOSA Surgery is proficient at performing all plastic surgery procedures. Our elite team has the ability, focus and flexibility to demonstrate unparalleled professional knowledge. We take as much time as you need to address your every concern and clearly explain your options in care.
Though skin is very flexible, the rapid loss of a large amount of weight makes it less elastic and unable to promptly contract and shrink. The excess skin can be highly painful, inconvenient and visually unappealing. Agonizing rashes can form where skin folds rub against each other and then turn into infections.
The harmful effects don’t stop there. The anatomical anomalies can take a significant toll on people’s mental and emotional health. They can also experience ill-fitting clothes and shoes, and significant restrictions in normal body movements.
During body contouring treatments, patients are under general anesthesia while a plastic surgeon trims away excess skin, which can be located from head to toe: arms, belly, chest, stomach, face, chin, abdomen, knees, back, upper thighs and breasts. The surgeon sutures together the remaining skin.
One of the foremost clinical criteria potential candidates must meet before they are considered for surgery is that they must have maintained their goal weight for at least six months. Some surgeons require 18 months.
When it comes to tightening large amounts of excess skin after bariatric surgery, nothing is more effective than body-contouring surgery. Diet, exercise, creams, lotions and laser sessions are no match for plastic surgery.
MOSA Surgery’steam is made up of friendly, highly trained specialists who are eager to help you feel comfortable and relaxed while receiving the very best care. For more information about MOSA Surgery and how we can help you, please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment. You’ll be glad you did!
