Post-bariatric Body Lift Surgery – Sacramento, Citrus Heights
For the obese, losing weight is one of the best ways to become healthier and enjoy life more. Many people turn to bariatric surgery to lose significant weight. Once they do lose weight and become healthy, however, they are frustrated to find that they are left with loose folds of excess skin. Post-bariatric body lift surgery, available in the Sacramento and Citrus Heights area at AweNatural Plastic Surgery, is the next step in the process. By tightening the skin around the patient's slimmer body, Dr. Robert Winslow can craft shapelier, more attractive body contours, dramatically improving the patient's appearance and self-esteem.
How Body Lift Surgery Works
Post-bariatric body lift surgery is really a combination of other procedures tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Recent advances in body contouring allow Dr. Winslow to combine liposuction, breast lift, abdominoplasty, and a variety of lifting procedures in a comprehensive, integrated approach to body lifting. Removing excess skin and tissue together in this way makes a more natural appearance possible while avoiding the necessity of multiple surgeries and recovery periods.
Benefits of Post-bariatric Surgery
Many patients who decide to undergo Post-bariatric body lift surgery are frustrated with their appearance. After putting so much time and effort into losing weight, they still feel self-conscious about how they look: extra folds of skin are both uncomfortable and unsightly. Post-bariatric body lift surgery, as performed by Dr. Winslow in the Sacramento and Citrus Heights area, is a way to remove extra folds of skin, giving the body a healthier, more attractive shape.
By combining body lifting procedures into a single, integrated treatment, Dr. Winslow is able to achieve much more attractive results. Additionally, patients need not spend the time required to undergo multiple separate surgeries and recover from them. Post-bariatric surgery involves one procedure and one recovery, allowing patients to get on with their lives as quickly as possible.
Body Lift Risks and Recovery
It typically takes a month or two to recover from a body lift. Patients experience some pain during the early stages of recovery, but this can be controlled with medication. Patients usually need to stay in the hospital for one to four days after surgery.
Post-bariatric body lift surgery is a major procedure, requiring up to 10 hours under general anesthesia to complete. Though serious complications are rare, they are possible – most being linked to anesthesia and potential bleeding. Patients sometimes also experience infections and blood clots after surgery.
