Critical Points on Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss

In the case of a considerable weight loss in a short time, patients usually have a substantial amount of extra skin. Because of this rapid weight loss, a person’s skin does not “bounce” satisfactorily, causing various problems such as moisture problems, skin breakage, grooming, and body image problems (cosmetic concerns). This excess skin reminds the previous obesity problem and limits the person’s satisfaction with weight loss. At this point, patients usually will consider skin surgery by plastic surgeon. Although patients are generally quite satisfied with the progress made in their medical issues (such as diabetes and high blood pressure) after losing weight, they are still happy when they look in the mirror. Cosmetic surgery after weight loss can help a person achieve their goals and significantly improve their self-image.

Skin Issues

Consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon is essential, as the patient’s post-operative treatment is unique. The elasticity of the patient’s skin has been permanently reduced, leading to a faster recurrence of many of the patient’s disorders. When people lose fat, the skin on the neck and face often shows signs of weight loss, often associated with aging. You may notice loose skin in the uterus, on the lower part of the face (cheek), or in the neck area. Re-suspension of these cells helps to rejuvenate the neck and facial area.

Patient’s Opinions

Many sufferers grumble that their breasts are “empty, sagging, sagging” after weight loss; in fact, sufferers frequently state they were more satisfied with their breasts before weight loss than after (just as some patients are more satisfied with breastfeeding during pregnancy than after). Mastopexy surgery is used to enlarge the nipple-areola complex in the breast (removing loose or excess skin). In contrast, breast augmentation surgery is used to increase breast fullness, particularly in the upper breast pole. Generally, after significant weight loss, both breast implants and breastfeeding are necessary to achieve optimal results.

Saline Implants

These implants can be overloaded to perform a rounder appearance. Cracks in cosmetic implants are more difficult to detect. Once silicone implants break, breast implants often feel precise as silicone gel could flow into the breast areas without any noticeable difference. Moreover, saline implants can also be less expensive than silicone gel implants. Most implants filled with silicone gel are not elastic, so the incision used to place the silicone gel implant is much larger than that required for implants.

Silicone Implants

This approach is using an implanted substance of silicone gel. The silicone gel implant cannot be overfilled because it is relevant to a specific size that cannot be manipulated. Silicone implants differ in the shell’s surface (smooth/fabric), shape, profile, quantity, shell thickness, and lumens volume in the body. Each individual is different in the amount of breast tissue they have.…
