Plastic Surgery after Weight Loss in Atlanta, Georgia: Arm Lift and Other Post-Bariatric Surgery
The popularity of liposuction, gastric surgery procedures, and other rapid weight loss solutions has skyrocketed along with the obesity rates, and this has led to an influx of post-bariatric surgery patients seeking body contouring. Plastic surgery procedures after massive weight loss differ somewhat from standard procedures, in that patients seeking to remedy the problem of extra skin after massive weight loss often have much more extensive work to be done than patients seeking a single, simple procedure. Body contouring at our Atlanta, Georgia post-bariatric surgery office often involves arm lift, tummy tuck, and several other procedures, sometimes spaced out over the course of a year or more, in order to achieve the patient’s desired results.
Patients considering plastic surgery after weight loss may want to consider our Non-Surgical Health & Wellness package, which includes multiple sessions with our Lifestyle and Weight Management Counselor, personal training sessions, skin care consultations, and skin care items to help with your new body!
Arm Lift
A brachioplasty, or arm lift, is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and tissue from the upper arm. Skin can begin to lose its elasticity with age alone, but following major weight loss, the excess skin can be very noticeable. At our Atlanta, Georgia practice, our arm lift procedures are designed to hide the scars underneath the arm, while removing as much excess tissue as possible.
Body Lift
Think about losing a massive amount of weight like a balloon that was slowly deflated. The skin of the balloon becomes saggy, loose, and misshapen. So the human skin, too, is unable to adjust to the loss of volume within it, and becomes ill-fitting. Think of plastic surgery after weight loss as getting your skin tailored to fit your new body, and a body lift is exactly that. Like a Facelift for your lower body, a body lift procedure can include the legs, torso, buttock, hips, and back, depending on the case.
