POST BARIATRIC
For many who are losing weight through weight loss programs, exercise, lap-band surgery, gastric bypass surgery, and other stomach-reducing procedures, this is just the first step toward regaining your body, health, and self-esteem. Massive post surgical weight loss creates loose and excess skin in many areas, including the area around the abdomen, the thighs, the neck, under the arms, or anywhere else large deposits of fat have disappeared.
Mediterranean Plastic Surgery Center will guide you through the next phase of your journey with different kinds of operations collectively known as post bariatric surgery, body contouring, or body lift. Dr. Borko B. Djordjevic is a key figure in post bariatric surgery and is affiliated, as well as on staff, with some of the largest leading bariatric hospital groups in Europe and Southern California, including Vista Healthcare.
Dr. Borko B. Djordjevic will remove excess tissue and sculpt and restore the body to a more normal, aesthetically pleasing look. The complete aesthetic body countouring process includes liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift and other procedures depending on what the doctor recommends.
At our Los Angeles, Inland Empire, and Palm Desert facilities, body lift surgery will be scheduled when your weight has stabilized after the most drastic period of weight loss. Depending on the amount of skin that needs to be removed, and the number of areas that need to be tightened, the body lift may be performed in stages.
During the procedure, the plastic surgeon will make incisions and remove excess skin in key locations, then pull the remaining skin taut and seal the incisions. Your plastic surgeon can place the incisions strategically to make the scars as inconspicuous as possible.
If your case is less severe, with loose skin concentrated around the abdomen, the physicians at Timeless Beauty may recommend an abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck or mini-tummy tuck, rather than the more involved post bariatric body lift procedure.
In addition to the cosmetic benefits for post bariatric patients, a body lift can be beneficial in terms of health. Rashes, infections, and difficulty in exercising can all result from the loose folds of skin that occur after drastic weight loss. An aesthetic body lift alleviates these problems as well.
Patients of Dr. Borko B. Djordjevic are thrilled and thankful to have undergone this amazing transformation with their bodies, health, and confidence.
