Massive Weight Loss Surgery

Plastic surgery can play a very important role relative to massive weight loss. Successful weight loss is usually associated with loose skin and remaining fat in some areas of the body. Dr. Carey offers a variety of techniques to reduce or eliminate loose skin from the abdomen, breasts, inner thighs, arms and face. An entire body lift can be performed. The goal is to establish the harmony between the skin and your new shape.

The major issue with loose skin is the tension and elasticity of the skin which varies greatly from one individual to another. The quality of skin will also vary on different parts of the body. Many patients find the abdomen to be their major concern, although the arms, inside thighs, breasts and face are also a source of concern. Although patients are usually pleased about their weight loss, they often become worried and depressed as they cope with having to get rid of large amounts of excess skin.

There is usually remaining fat in some areas of the body. For men, an accumulation of fat is often concentrated in the upper part of the body, mainly on the abdomen. Women are more likely to have fat concentrations in the lower part of the body beneath the hips.

Generally, Dr. Carey requires that the patient waits for reconstructive surgery until his or her weight has stabilized. Men often want to start with the excess skin and fat deposits of their abdomen. Women, on the other hand, may prefer to start with a breast lift because the postoperative care is short and they can return to their daily work and other activities quickly. Still others, desire to have their face reshaped because they feel it is most obvious to others and it makes them feel good too.

Frequently insurance helps with the reconstructive surgery expense after weight loss operations such as gastric stapling or gastric bypass surgery.
