Reconstructive Surgery
After Massive Weight Loss in San Francisco
Many patients come to Dr. Rajagopal after losing a significan
amount of weight, or after gastric bypass bariatric surgery.
While they are pleased with their smaller size, many are unhappy
with the extra, sagging skin and tissue they are unable to
get rid of. The solution to this problem is
a major surgical body contouring procedure, sometimes done
in multiple stages, to remove excess skin and fat from the
the sagging areas, and tighten the surrounding muscles. The
procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding
abdomen, sagging back, buttocks, arms or thighs.
Depending on a patient's needs, this surgery can include
some, or all, of the following procedures:
The Best Candidates For Reconstructive
Surgeries:
The best candidates for reconstructive/lift
surgeries are men or women who are in relatively good shape
but are bothered by large fat, skin or tissue deposits that
won't respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly
helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched
their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they
can return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients,
which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved.
If you have any questions regarding surgery after weight loss,
or wish to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rajagopal in the
San Francisco Bay Area, please call the San
Francisco Plastic Surgery & Laser Center
at 415-392-3333.
