POST BARIATRIC BODY CONTOURING SURGERY

The advent of bariatric surgery has led to the emergence of a new specialty in plastic surgery to reshape skin and fat tissue after massive weight loss. This specialty is increasingly recognized as an important part of a multidisciplinary approach to treating obesity. Bariatric procedures routinely result in a permanent reduction in body mass index; However, the remaining skin of a patient who has lost significant weight resembles his past obesity. The goal of post-bariatric body contouring is to correct this deformity and restore a sense of normalcy. By restoring the ideal body proportions, the true success of the slimming procedure is fully achieved.
