Cosmetic surgery
Once they have lost a significant amount of weight, formerly obese patients are often left with an excess of loose skin.
There are various surgical interventions available to remodel the concerned areas and improve the silhouette:
- Cervicofacial lift for the face
- Breast reduction or breast ptosis for women
- Gynecomastia treatment for men
- Upper bodylift or correction of dorsal and lateral bulges
- Abdominoplasty for the abdomen
- Lower bodylift or circular abdominoplasty for the abdomen + buttocks + saddle bags
- Curoplasty for the thighs.
- Brachioplasty for the arms.
Some of these interventions can be combined. Generally, there is a 2 to 3 month waiting period between each operation.
