Significant weight loss follows a diet and exercise plan or bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery is for considerable weight loss, employing procedures that dramatically curb food intake. Fifty, sixty, and sometimes over a hundred pounds of weight loss have been recorded after a bariatric procedure which, more often than not, leaves loose skin and tissue that sags.
For many, this causes a problem in their body appearance and what clothes they choose to wear. Hanging tissues can be as much of a cosmetic concern as being overweight. In addition, wearing the latest fashions can be highly uncomfortable.
Fortunately, plastic surgery has answers. Post-bariatric surgery procedures like breast lift, body lift, and tummy tuck surgery can reshape your body outline by eliminating excess skin and tissue, leaving you with a figure that’ll make you proud.
Where Do I Start?
A consultation with Dr. Scott Farber is the first step to learning how plastic surgery can help you achieve optimal health and an enhanced appearance. Your initial visit is designed to inform you about surgery in a stress-free environment and will include the following:
- A discussion about your aesthetic goals and your individual needs
- The body contouring operations available to meet those goals and needs
- The course of treatment recommended by Dr. Farber
- The likely outcome of your surgery and the associated risks
Options Available for Post-Bariatric Surgery
Here is a list of surgeries Dr. Farber offers to help patients address the cosmetic concerns left by bariatric surgery:
Breast Lift
A breast lift surgery can correct the underlying reasons for sagging breast tissue and return your breasts to a youthful position and contour. If you have drooping breasts, Dr. Farber can help you experience the difference perky, firm breasts can make in your life.
Arm Lift
An arm lift restores upper arm contours for a more toned appearance. In addition, you will not need to keep your arms covered outside the house and show off those slender, firmer upper arm contours with spaghetti straps or sleeveless blouses.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck eliminates excess abdominal tissues for a toned, taut midsection that will enhance your figure and self-esteem. The procedure removes excess skin and tissues, reinforces the abdominal muscles, and boosts self-confidence in the latest clothing styles imaginable.
Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift removes excess tissue from one part of your body and grafts it into a site that needs volume. Dr. Farber can use this procedure to enhance a butt to be bikini ready and fit into the sensual fashions that are sure to turn heads.
Body Lift
A body lift is similar to a tummy tuck, but a tummy tuck is abdomen-focused, whereas a body lift scopes the sides and the back area. We consider it a lift for the entire midsection, front to back and side to side. Our body lift patients experience effects around the body entirely, beginning just below the chest and extending down to the waist and buttocks. This procedure removes excess skin, enhances body contours, and tightens underlying muscles, revealing a smaller body that is toned and fit like the one you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
Many of our patients combine their body lifts with other body shaping treatments like an arm lift, thigh lift, or bra line back lift. In addition, liposuction can enhance results by removing some of the stubborn fat that remains. Like all the treatments performed at Farber Plastic Surgery, you will get a customized body lift.
