Post Weight Loss / Body Lift surgery

The surge in weight loss procedures such as gastric banding and duodenal switches along with other advances in dieting techniques often causes some people to loose weight so effectively that excess, loose skin can be left in areas of the body. Pregnancy can also cause such problems.

Spire Methley Park Plastic Surgeons may use post-bariatric surgery contouring techniques, including tummy tuck, arm lift, buttock lift, liposuction, complex circumferential body lifts or other body sculpting procedures, to remove drooping skin left behind after weight loss surgery.

Excess skin can cause daily discomfort by causing rashes and possibly skin infections. Post-weight loss cosmetic surgery can be an excellent solution for anyone who would like to have loose, excess skin removed from his or her body. Body contouring procedures can help you achieve the figure you desire after weight loss surgery, pregnancy, or following weight loss achieved through diet and exercise.

These procedures have been successfully used after weight loss surgery to refine patients' bodies and help them enjoy everyday activities. The same procedures can be used for post pregnancy patients or anyone not happy with the appearance of loose skin.
