When to Have Bariatric Plastic SurgeryMost surgeons consider the best time for bariatric plastic surgery is when the weight has stabilized and remained stable for several months. Typically, this means at least one year after gastric bypass surgery (or after a successful dietary regime). Types of Bariatric Plastic SurgeryIn simple terms, there are two types of plastic surgery to help re-shape the body after massive weight reduction, or reduce localized fat deposits. (1) plastic surgery operations that remove fat, loose skin and tighten muscle (eg. abdominoplasty/ tummy tuck, body lift, thigh lift); and (2) plastic surgeries that only remove fat (eg. liposuction). These are the two basic types of bariatric cosmetic surgery although some operations (eg. panniculectomy) fall into neither category, as they remove fat and excessive skin but do not tighten muscle. Best Area of the Body for SurgerySurgeons commonly prefer to commence plastic surgical intervention on the most problematical area, which in most cases is the abdomen. Even so, some patients prefer to begin with a breast reduction as post-operative care is short, facilitating a swift return to work. On the other hand, for some patients a thigh lift takes priority. Bariatric Plastic Surgery Procedures for Different Areas of the BodyBariatric-type plastic surgery can be performed on almost every part of the body. Here are the main procedures.
