Post Bariatric Body Contouring

Patients who have had bariatric surgery often experience excess skin as a result of their significant weight loss. An arm lift, thigh lift, buttock lift or other body contouring procedure performed at the Plastic Surgery Clinic will eliminate excess skin to reveal a more attractive shape.

DR. JAMIL AHMAD: Our patients who have had bariatric surgery have invested a lot of time in going through the procedure and their recovery and some of them have lost hundreds of pounds. However, once they’ve gone through this, they have still significant redundant skin, and it really bothers them. When they come here to The Plastic Surgery Clinic, we do procedures such as arm lifts or thigh lifts, and we also do tummy tucks and buttock lifts to help remove some of this redundant skin and improve the shape of their bodies. Ultimately, they feel great about themselves because now they can wear clothes that fit. They can go to the gym, they don’t feel self conscious, and they feel like they’re back to normal. The down time typically after body contouring surgery such as a tummy tuck or a arm lift or thigh lift is usually two to three weeks recovery, but after that, patients are able to go back to work. They are able to return to their daily routine, clothes fit better and they’re happy. Results after body contouring surgery are excellent. They are life changing for our patients.
