Bariatric surgery is a procedure that is used to help patients lose weight when they have struggled using conventional methods. After surgery, many patients experience dramatic weight loss, sometimes of 100 pounds or more. Because of this significant weight loss and the rapid speed at which patients lose the weight, excess skin can develop. Because of this, post-bariatric surgery reconstruction is an option to allow patients to feel more confident in their appearance.
Post-Bariatric surgery reconstruction is not a single procedure but a combination of procedures. Dr. Pokorney will do a consultation and make recommendations based on the individual. Tummy tucks, tummy lifts, liposuction, breast lifts, face lifts, and other procedures are most common after bariatric surgery.
