POST WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY

OUR BOARD CERTIFIED SURGEONS TAKE A SKILLFUL AND ARTISTIC
APPROACH TO PLASTIC SURGERY

Major weight loss is a significant accomplishment, whether by dieting alone or after bariatric surgery.

PLASTIC SURGERY AFTER WEIGHT LOSS

Plastic surgery after weight loss or bariatric surgery have gained a marked increase in popularity. More and more patients have changed their lives for the better with dramatic weight loss by diet, exercise and/or bariatric surgery.

Unfortunately excess skin and laxity may persist following the weight loss. This occurs because of the skins inability to contract following weight loss. The extent of the skin laxity that exists depends on the amount of weight lost, the rapidity of the weight loss, the patient’s age and genetics.

Excess skin and laxity can be problematic in all areas of the body.

The face, neck, breasts, abdomen, back, arms and thighs may all be areas of dissatisfaction.

At Plástica Tijuana Surgery we offer a comprehensive approach to the weight loss patient. During your initial assessment and consultation, Dr. Juan Pablo Cervantes will help determine not only which procedures are best suited for you, but also the ideal sequence of the procedures

Am I Candidate for Surgery?

The best way to determine if you are a candidate for surgery after significant weight loss is through a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon at Plástica Tijuana Surgery.

The most successful outcomes from body contouring surgery are achieved when these important criteria are met:

Smoking slows down the healing process and increases the risk of serious complications during and after surgery. You will be instructed to quit smoking at least six weeks prior to surgery.

Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic goals for what body contouring can accomplish are also good candidates for body contouring procedures.
