Losing Droopy Skin After Weight Loss
Have you lost a lot of weight and now have to deal with excess droopy skin when you look in the mirror? Patients who have undergone significant weight loss (naturally or via gastric bypass surgery) can sometimes suffer from the remaining loose skin which still leaves them wearing loose-fitting clothes and causing unnecessary skin infections and irritation.
Fortunately, at Toronto’s Elements Spa, board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. Adibfar can help patients by reducing and removing the redundant skin that’s keeping these patients stuck in their previously overweight bodies. Let’s take a closer look at how Dr. Adibfar helps these patients finally achieve the ideal body shape they desire!
Patients who’ve undergone massive weight loss have a lot to be proud of. After shedding all that weight they have positively impacted their health and daily life by reducing their risk of diseases like diabetes as well as reducing their chances of developing chronic illness. Other achievements include improved confidence and self-esteem, reduced bodily pains, and other decreased health risks. For formerly obese patients with redundant skin, having the loose skin and tissue removed is the final step in their weight loss journey.
For patients requiring excess skin removal surgery, Dr. Adibfar’s tailored combination of body lift procedures is ideal. This involves multiple complimentary surgeries that work to remove the excess skin and contour the remaining tissue for a more natural and flattering silhouette. The body lift typically involves an incision around the patient’s entire waist. After the excess skin is removed, the remaining skin is pulled taut and sutured. Other areas of the body that may require excess skin removal are around the upper arms, inner thighs, and upper back, and even a breast lift.
After a full recovery patients not only find their confidence restored in many aspects of their lives but also that they’re finally able to look in the mirror and admire their reflection. After undergoing significant weight loss — followed by plastic surgery — patients can feel comfortable wearing more comfortable, revealing, and/or fitted clothing without the unsightly insecurities of carrying excess droopy skin and pesky skin folds.
We of course would like to stress that a tailored body lift procedure should always be performed by an incredibly qualified, vetted, and experienced board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon. While excess skin removal does sound straightforward, contouring the remaining tissue does require expertise and artistry that not many plastic surgeons specialize in. To assure a flattering silhouette and natural-looking body contour, patients should always seek a specialized professional like Toronto’s Dr. Adibfar.
