Understanding Body Lift Surgery After Significant Weight Loss

Bariatric surgery can dramatically transform your life, but significant weight loss often results in excess, drooping skin that requires additional surgical intervention. Dr. Wang specializes in body lift procedures designed to recontour and reshape your body after substantial weight reduction.

Body Lift Target Areas

A comprehensive body lift addresses multiple problem areas common after extreme weight loss:

• Abdomen: Removing excess skin and tightening muscles
• Thighs and Buttocks: Correcting skin folds and sagging
• Breast Region: Lifting and reshaping for both men and women
• Arms: Removing hanging skin through brachioplasty
• Face and Neck: Reducing wrinkles and tightening skin

Procedure Details

Body lift surgery typically occurs 12-18 months after weight stabilization following gastric bypass. Multiple procedures may be required, with a minimum of three months between surgeries. Dr. Wang carefully plans a customized approach to achieve optimal results efficiently.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect several hours of surgical time depending on the extent of tissue removal. Recovery involves wearing compression garments and gradually returning to normal activities. Most patients resume non-strenuous activities within two weeks and low-impact exercise within four to six weeks.

Specialized Patient Care

Dr. Wang provides specialized monitoring for patients with weight-related health conditions, understanding the unique challenges of post-bariatric body contouring. The practice offers innovative pain management techniques like the On-Q PainBuster® Post-Op Pain Relief System to enhance patient comfort.
