Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss
Post Bariatric Plastic Surgery for Men
With the growing popularity of gastric bypass surgery to treat morbid obesity, the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery has seen a dramatic increase in people seeking facial and body contouring.
This is because after significant weight loss, people can be left with a tremendous amount of loose, sagging skin around many different parts of the body. In addition to being unattractive, the excess skin can cause irritation, hygiene issues and problems with finding clothing that fits properly.
Unfortunately, neither diet nor exercise can tighten or diminish this excess, loose skin. The only treatment option is to have it safely removed and the body re-contoured by a qualified plastic surgeon.
Body Lifting Procedures for Men
At Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Parker can walk you through this process step-by-step and show you how to gain the tighter, thinner looking body that you can’t achieve through continued diet and exercise.
Our goal is to remove the extra skin and affected areas and leave scars that are as inconspicuous as possible. Procedures commonly performed in these situations include:
- Abdominoplasty
- Lateral thigh and buttock lifts
- Medial thigh lifts
- Chest lifts
- Arm lifts
- Facelifts
During your consultation, we can discuss what options will be best for you. The surgeries are performed in a safe, certified facility one year after bypass surgery or when weight loss has plateaued for three to six months.
If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight through diet and exercise or gastric bypass surgery, you deserve to move forward with the body you’ve worked hard to achieve. You’ve already done the hard part. We can help you take care of the rest.
