"Reshaping and Rebirth After Obesity
Surgery"
Obesity
surgery can be an effective tool to take a significant step in the weight loss
journey. However, aesthetic issues such as sagging skin, deformities, and
contour deficiencies may arise after weight loss. This is where post-bariatric
plastic surgery comes into play. These procedures are performed to shape the
body after weight loss, correct sagging skin, and rebuild the patient's
self-confidence.
Liposculpture After Obesity Surgery:
Liposculpture
is a preferred procedure to aesthetically improve sagging areas after obesity
surgery. It aims to enhance contours, especially in the hips, thighs, and
abdominal area, achieving a slender waist and curvy lines.
● Duration:
The
operation time can vary depending on the area being treated and typically lasts
between 1 to 4 hours.
● Candidate Eligibility:
Individuals approaching their ideal weight are suitable candidates for
liposculpture.
● Results:
They are permanent but do not prevent future weight gain.
Abdominoplasty After Obesity Surgery:
Abdominoplasty
is performed to remove excess, sagging skin and correct abdominal muscles. This
procedure, performed through an incision along the cesarean section line,
provides a tighter abdominal area and an aesthetic appearance.
● Effectiveness:
It is
effective for correcting excess skin and abdominal muscles.
● Pregnancy Possibility:
Possible, but planning before the operation is recommended.
● Results:
They are permanent but may vary after weight gain.
Arm Aesthetics After Obesity Surgery
(Brachioplasty):
It
is a surgical procedure performed to correct sagging arm skin after significant
weight loss. Excess skin is removed with an incision made on the upper arm,
resulting in a tighter and more aesthetic appearance.
● Scarring:
It may leave small scars, but they can fade over time.
● Combination with Other Procedures:
It can be
combined with other surgical procedures.
● Results:
They are permanent but may change with the aging process.
Leg Aesthetics After Obesity Surgery:
Leg
aesthetics are performed to correct deformities in the legs after weight loss.
Excess skin is removed through an incision on the inner side, achieving a
smooth leg shape.
Combination
with Other Procedures: It can be combined with other body contouring
procedures.

It is
permanent as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
● Ideal Weight:
It is recommended after reaching the ideal weight.
Buttock Aesthetics After Obesity Surgery:
Performed to
shape and add volume to the buttock area after weight loss. Fats taken from
another part of the body are transferred to the buttock area.
● Fat Transfer:
The
patient's own fat tissue is used.
● Permanence:
It is permanent depending on adherence to a healthy lifestyle.
● Specific Weight:
Suitable for anyone with sufficient fat ratio.
These
post-bariatric aesthetic procedures offer effective and safe options to shape
the body after weight loss and provide patients with a more positive outlook on
their new lives. However, as with any surgical intervention, it is crucial to
consult with an expert plastic surgeon before considering these procedures.
Personalizing a plan based on individual needs is critical to achieving the
best results.
