Depending on the specific areas of the body being treated, procedures may include lipectomy (removing excess skin and fat, and rearranging muscle), brachioplasty (arm lift), thighplasty (thigh surgery), back lipectomy, and breast pexy.
Patients who have undergone significant weight loss through bariatric surgery and are left with excess skin and fat, which impacts both aesthetics and can lead to mobility issues, infections, and discomfort, are candidates for this surgery.

During this consultation, your goals, medical history, and available options will be thoroughly discussed.
After post-bariatric surgery, proper post-operative care is crucial. This includes following medical instructions, tending to incisions, using compression and dressings as directed, maintaining good bodily hygiene, adhering to an appropriate diet, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and attending medical follow-up appointments. Pain management and emotional support are equally essential, as this surgery can be emotionally challenging.
