Thousand of people are able to combat obesity or lose weight through diet, exercise or surgery. Losing the weight is one aspect of creating a dream body as weight loss comes with sagging skin. This is where body shaping surgery comes in to match the skin form with the new volume of the body. The skin does not shrink as the body looses fat therefore it needs to be removed medically which is exactly what this surgery does.
This surgery must be considered in partnership with any weight loss method because the results won’t be as effective and pleasing if there are sagging and excess skin throughout the body. This isn’t only for aesthetic reasons by sagging skin can cause irritations and other skin problems in the body as well.
This surgery is fantastic in getting the patients who lost weight to start enjoying their new body and start an amazing new life.
• People who lost major weight after bariatric surgery who now have sagging and excess skin
• People who lost weight after pregnancy who have excess and sagging skin
• People who lost weight with diet and exercise who have excess and sagging skin
Body shaping is not one but rather a series of surgeries designed to address the sagging skin caused after weight loss. So how the operation is performed depends entirely on where in the patient’s body there is excess skin. Generally speaking the excess skin will be removed and the remaining skin will be reshaped and stitched up to give it a new shape and form.
Depending on which areas were treated, the patient will require some downtime during which heavy exercise and heavy lifting will be prohibited. Your ITMT Group doctor will give you instructions on how to quickly and safely return to daily life.
