If you have had weight loss surgery, lost the weight and now are left with sagging skin, there is an answer. Bariatric reconstructive surgery can help your body blend in with its new size.
There are several small procedures that can be done but the most common concentrates on the abdomen. Under general anesthesia, your doctor will create an incision, remove the excess skin, and if needed reposition the navel.
This kind of cosmetic surgery requires longer recovery time and increased risks, so speak with your cosmetic surgeon to make sure you are a candidate.
About University Medical Group – Dept. of Bariatric & Minimal Access Surgery
Dr. Eric S. Bour and Dr. John D. Scott are both Greenville weight loss surgery medical professionals with experience assisting obese patients toward a healthier weight and lifestyle. Excessive weight gain may be a serious threat to health and has a number of uncomfortable and risky side effects including high blood pressure, sleep apnea, difficulty breathing, and can interfere with everyday activities. Patients facing obesity may choose to alter the internal structure of their digestive tract to help minimize the amount of calories ingested.
University Medical Group – Dept. of Bariatric & Minimal Access Surgery is the Greenville weight loss center where patients receive quality care from both physicians and where consultation occurs. Treatments for the treatment of excess weight involve malabsorptive and restrictive measures which help to alter the internal organs so that food is not as readily assimilated or ingested. This may mean weight loss in successful cases. Roux-en-Y and Lap Band procedures are two of the more commonly sought procedures.
