Post-bariatric Surgery

For massive weight loss patients facing skin +/- fat excess, this surgery is the one that solves their problem. It’s a difficult surgery that requires a lot of training for the surgeon and a lot of patience from the patient. A completely functional surgical team is needed, with high operative experience, who perfectly understands these patients and their problems.

Who may ask for this surgery?

Patients who lost more than 30 kilos with diet or gastric sleeve, have at least one year since the surgery and also managed to maintain a stable weight in the last 6 months. Metabolic disturbances developed in the weight loss period are slowly corrected and may impair the healing process after a post-bariatric surgery.

Ideally, the correction of the skin excess is performed in more surgeries, combining 2-3 areas in one session, without exceeding a certain amount of time. Furthermore, the patients need to accept the scars, which will be as hidden as possible, according to the surgeon’s experience.

Due to the high number of bariatric surgeries, patients who ask for skin excess removal are numerous. The technical skills for this surgery have also improved tremendously. Around the world, there are a few renowned schools of post-bariatric surgery, each with its own vision.

The succession of the surgeries is logical, like the technique. Combining 2-3 areas in one surgery is the best option for the patients. We have the ability to perform abdominoplasty, brachioplasty, breast lifting or thigh lifting in one surgery, the only condition being the operation time.

If you are facing these problems, you can discuss them and also ask for details about the technique, process and results during an appointment.
