Post Bariatric Surgery

Post Bariatric Surgery is a body shaping surgery performed to correct sagging, excess, and deformations in the body after stomach cutting, reduction, and shortening surgery applied to people who are extremely overweight (BMI > 40). It is possible to correct this sagging and the loss of volume in the body with the help of post bariatric. It is also successfully applied in our country.

What is Post Bariatric?

Bariatrics is a general name given to the prevention of overweight, that is, obesity, to combat the causes and to the treatments planned for this purpose. Bariatric surgery is the job of general surgeons, Post Bariatric Surgery is the job of plastic surgeons, and bariatrics is the job of endocrinologists and/or nutritionists.

Why Post Bariatric?

Post Bariatric is a procedure defined by the surgical removal of excess tissues that cause deformation along with sagging skin with excessive and/or rapid weight loss for the purpose of reshaping the body. For many plastic surgeons, post bariatric is a combination of hip and thigh stretching and tummy tuck operation.

Post Bariatric Applied to Who?

Candidates for Post Bariatric surgery are often patients who lose weight rapidly and excessively (after gastric reduction operations). The difference of the applied procedure from liposuction is that not only the fat tissues are removed, but also the excess sagging skin is removed too. However, liposuction is applied as a complementary procedure during post bariatric surgery to shape the relevant body areas.

Since the post bariatric procedure is to reshape the sagging tissues and skin by shrinking the body, the patient must find the ideal weight before this procedure. It should be noted that post-operative weight gain or loss may change the aesthetic results achieved.
