Today’s blog explains why so many of our patients opt for plastic surgery following massive weight loss.
Why Plastic Surgery Is Popular Post-Weight Loss
Losing weight is an incredible achievement but often leaves behind loose skin. This happens because extra fat stretches the skin until it loses its ability to retract.
Loose skin can occur in many areas, including the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs. The loose skin can become physically uncomfortable, inconvenient, and embarrassing.
Body contouring surgery can eliminate those problems. This type of plastic surgery is the final step in the weight loss process for many patients. It allows them to fully appreciate the results of their hard work.
Results of Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss
Post-weight loss body contouring surgery offers both aesthetic and physical benefits, including:
• Reducing Skin Irritation and Chafing: Loose skin can rub against itself. This can lead to painful rashes or even open sores. Surgery helps eliminate this problem.
• Improving Clothing Fit: Before surgery, many people wear huge clothing to accommodate their extra skin. Afterward, they can switch to clothes that fit well and feel good.
• Preventing Infections: Large skin folds can trap moisture and bacteria, leading to recurrent infections. Removing this skin greatly reduces the risk.
• Balanced Proportions: Surgery provides a more natural and proportionate look. This, in turn, can provide improved self-confidence.
