Weight Loss Surgery, Loose Skin, and Post-Bariatric Surgery - The Bottom Line? :

Weight Loss Surgery, Loose Skin, and Post-Bariatric Surgery - The Bottom Line? :
Being healthy has far greater importance than excess skin. Although, having excess skin can lead to some serious issues there are non-surgical ways of preventing infections such as keeping your excess skin dry. For those who are able and want to remove the excess skin, post-bariatric surgery is for you. It is important to remember that these procedures should only be considered after ones weight has stabilized; especially after weight loss surgery. This can range from 7-18 months after weight loss.


The most important factor in finding a plastic surgeon who can perform these procedures is that they must be board certified. If your plastic surgeon's website or office does not advertise that they are board certified you must RUN! For everyone who has heard horror plastic surgery stories, this is probably where it started, having a surgical procedure done without a board certified surgeon. Use ASPS (The American Society of Plastic Surgery) to find a board certified surgeon near you.
