Post Bariatric Cosmetic Surgery

Have you recently lost a significant amount of weight due to bariatric surgery or massive weight loss through diet and exercise?  Many post-bariatric surgery and massive weight loss patients find that they have excess lose skin that will not let them wear the clothes that they would like.  Post-bariatric cosmetic surgery, sometimes referred to as post-bariatric body contouring, offers these patients a way to restore their confidence and body shape.  At Inland Cosmetic Surgery in Rancho Cucamonga, California, we offer a wide range of body contouring options for post-bariatric surgery patients.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a procedure which excess skin is removed from the abdomen.  Additionally, underlying muscles are tightened to show off a flatter, leaner stomach.  Since excess skin is being removed, an additional benefit of a tummy tuck procedure is reduction of stretch marks often associated with extreme weight loss patients.  Your belly button will also be repositioned in order to complement your newly tightened skin.  Many post-bariatric surgery patients find the tummy tuck procedure to be a rewarding experience as they no longer have to wear baggy clothing to mask the unwanted excess skin around their waist line. What is special about our tummy tucks for post massive weight loss patients is that we also improve the pubic regions and outer thighs. This is a common area of concern for many patients and it can be addressed at the same time.

Breast Lift

A common problem among female post-bariatric surgery patients is sagging or drooping breasts.  The reason for this common occurrence is that breasts are made up mostly of fatty tissue which is significantly reduced by major weight loss.  A breast lift procedure, also referred to as mastopexy is a great option for those who are looking to restore the shape and size of their breasts.  This procedure can also be combined with saline or silicone implants to increase the size and fullness of your breasts.  At Inland Cosmetic Surgery, we offer several surgical techniques for breast enhancement.  The type of procedure used will be dependent on the on the size of the breast and the extent of the sagging.  In each technique, excess skin is removed so your breasts can be lifted and your areolas can be repositioned for a more firmer, younger, lifted look.

Mid Body Lift

A mid body lift addresses several areas of the mid section of your body including your abdomen, thighs, buttocks and hips.  This comprehensive procedure is performed to enhance the contours of your body to help you fit better in your clothes and help your skin bounce back after massive weight loss.  This procedure is ideal for creating a continuous enhanced contour from your abdomen down to your thighs.  Several incisions are made around your abdomen in order to tighten your stomach muscles.  Excess skin is removed and the tightened muscles and skin are stitched into place resulting in a firmer look from your stomach to your thighs.

Buttock Lift

Many post-bariatric surgery patients feel that their butt now has lost shape or volume and now have trouble finding shorts, dresses or pants to properly fit their new body.  A buttock lift is a great way to restore the shape and contour of your buttocks. In this procedure, excess skin is removed and the buttock area is lifted upward to create a more toned and lean appearance.  Tissue and fat can also be manipulated to accentuate your contours. Some patients can benefit just from fat grafting and contouring around the buttock region.

Arm Lift

One of the most noticeable effects of massive weight loss is the appearance of lose, sagging skin underneath your arms.  This extra skin can be removed by an arm lift procedure, also called a brachioplasty.  The procedure involves an incision made from your armpit to your elbow area on the undersides of your arms.  Placing the incision in this location allows the resulting scarring to be as inconspicuous as possible in order for you to wear bathing suits or tank tops with confidence.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a commonly performed procedure that can be done alone or combined with any other post-bariatric body contouring procedure.  Liposuction is not meant for weight loss, but is a great way to remove stubborn areas of fat that won't go away through diet or exercise.  In conjunction with a tummy tuck or other lift procedure, liposuction can further assist in restoring your body's natural contours.  The procedure itself is used for removal of stubborn fat cells through a suction tube called a cannula. Some of the many common areas addressed with liposuction include neck, arms, thighs, and hips. We often use the Vaser assisted ultrasonic liposuction to help with contouring of different body parts. The advantages of the Vaser are that the ultrasonic energy emulsifies the fat prior to suction and it stimulates the skin to shrink faster.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is a procedure that reshapes the thighs by reducing essesive skin and sometimes fat around the upper legs. This results in a better proportioned contours of the thighs and the lower body overall.
