Post-Obesity Body Shaping
"With post-obesity body shaping, remove excess skin and sagging, and reveal the lines of your new healthy body aesthetically and functionally."
What is Post-Obesity Body Shaping?
After obesity treatment, especially in individuals who experience rapid and significant weight loss, significant skin sagging and deformities can occur. This can be detrimental to both appearance and quality of life.
Post-obesity body contouring involves surgically removing excess, sagging skin from areas such as the abdomen, chest, back, arms, and thighs, reshaping the body. Liposuction is also used to remove any localized fat deposits.
How is Post-Obesity Body Shaping Performed?
These procedures are individually planned based on the patient's overall health and body type. Usually, various incisions are made under general anesthesia to remove excess skin and tissue. Procedures such as a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, back lift, and breast contouring can be performed individually or in combination.
Liposuction removes fat, while skin tightening techniques and tissue repair aim to achieve natural and aesthetic results. Post-operative recovery varies depending on the extent of the procedure.
