Post Bariatric Surgery

Plastic surgery, or plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery with its full name, is a surgical discipline that encompasses all congenital or acquired shape and function disorders, restructuring and shaping of various structures on the body, treatment of serious tissue losses and all kinds of aesthetic interventions. Cosmetic and aesthetic surgery are the most well-known parts of plastic surgery.

 

What is Post Bariatric Surgery ?

After Bariatric Surgery, especially for morbid obesity, rapid weight loss causes skin sagging and this negatively affects the person's quality of life. However, this situation can be resolved with body recovery operations. With this method, which can be applied to different parts of the body, a person can get rid of the sagging skin that occurs after losing weight. With Post Bariatric Surgical procedures, whatever part of the body is sagging, that area can be lifted, shaped and stretched. Procedures such as abdominoplasty, breast lift, 360 body lift, leg lift, arm lift, face-neck lift, back lift are the main surgeries performed in Post Bariatric Surgery.

 

Who is Post Bariatric Surgery Applied to ?

This procedure, also known as post-obesity aesthetic applications, is applied to people who have lost excess weight by undergoing procedures such as stomach reduction surgery due to obesity and who have excess skin as a result. However, it is preferred for people who have reached their ideal weight and maintained this weight for at least 6 months.

 

How soon can Post Bariatric Surgeries be performed after obesity surgery (gastric sleeve, bypass.)?

• There are some criteria to start aesthetic procedures after obesity surgery:

• At least 15 months must have passed since the bariatric surgery.

• After bariatric surgery, you should have lost all the weight you targeted. You should not have plastic surgery while you are losing weight.

• After weight loss is completed, you should wait 3 months for your body to balance and your skin to recover somewhat.

• People who lose weight rapidly after obesity surgery usually rush and want to start aesthetic interventions as soon as possible. It is very important to be patient and wait until you lose all the weight. Early operations may require revision in the future.
