Benefits of Post-Gastric Bypass Body Sculpting
September 20th, 2017 | Posted in: Body Sculpting | Tags: body sculpting Beverly hills
Gastric bypass surgery is a procedure that can help patients safely undergo massive weight loss. Because of the significant amount of weight that is lost that usually follows gastric bypass surgery and the speed at which the weight is lost, most patients are left with loose skin and excess fat deposits that cause their bodies to look disproportionate and irregular. Post-gastric bypass body sculpting includes several procedures that can help patients address the unsightly side effects of gastric bypass surgery. Dr. Chiu, LA’s top Plastic Surgeon, routinely performs body sculpting procedures to remove excess fat and hanging skin to help post-gastric bypass patients achieve a shapelier silhouette. These procedures can be performed together or in stages according to the patient’s needs and preferences. There are many benefits to post-gastric bypass body sculpting in Beverly Hills.
What Are The Benefits of Body Sculpting in Beverly Hills?
Patients who have fully recovered from gastric bypass surgery and who have reached their ideal weight-loss goal can experience several benefits by undergoing body sculpting procedures.
Body sculpting surgery can provide the following benefits for qualified candidates:
- Targeted body contouring
- Removal of hanging, loose skin
- Elimination of stubborn fat deposits
- Enhanced body shape and a smoother silhouette
- Freedom from physical reminders of the previous burden of weight
- A more natural shape and appearance
- Improved self-confidence and body image
Body Sculpting in Beverly Hills Has Many Options
After a gastric bypass surgery, a patient has many options regarding the areas they can have sculpted. These procedures include the following:
Facelift
A facelift can be performed for patients with sagging facial skin. This procedure will tighten the facial tissues and remove displaced fat to help your face look smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
Upper Arm Lift
It is common for post-gastric bypass patients to have unfortunate skin tone in their upper arms. Upper arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, eliminates sagging skin and localized fat from the upper arms so that they will look toned, firm, and more natural.
Breast Lift
Due to the considerable amount of fat lost after gastric bypass surgery, breast volume can diminish. This can cause the breasts to appear saggy and deflated. Breast lift surgery reshapes and repositions the breasts in order to improve their appearance, firmness, shape, and position on the chest wall. Patients who undergo breast lift surgery as part of their body sculpting after gastric bypass surgery will typically look and feel more feminine, attractive, and youthful.
Tummy Tuck
Massive weight gain contributes to the accumulation of visceral stomach fat. This can cause the abdominal muscles to become loose. After major weight loss, these muscles do not contract as they should and may cause the stomach to look expanded. Many patients are also left with hanging skin and stubborn abdominal fat. A tummy tuck procedure tightens the abdominal wall, removes excess skin, and eliminates stubborn fat deposits in order to restore a firmer and flatter abdomen.
Thigh Lift
Major weight loss surgery can leave patients with hanging skin or excess fat along the thighs. A thigh lift will improve the appearance and tone of the outer and inner thighs by removing excess skin and fat to give the thighs a firmer and tighter figure.
Liposuction
It is common for post-gastric bypass patients to have stubborn fat. Liposuction is often paired with other procedures to remove this unwanted fat. This procedure can be incorporated into other body sculpting procedures to ensure that the excess fatty deposits are properly eliminated.
Results
The main benefit to body sculpting is the results. The results of body sculpting after gastric bypass surgery can be long lasting. Patients who remain committed to a healthy lifestyle and who avoid future weight instabilities will experience the best long-term results. Dr. Chiu can advise you on how to maintain the best results after post-gastric bypass body sculpting.
