Skin Tightening Surgery after Weight Loss
If you are obese or morbidly obese, your chances of developing a serious health condition are quite high. That’s why so many people are turning to weight loss surgery or adopting healthy lifestyles. In the end, achieving a weight that is outside of the morbidly obese range is going to increase your longevity and improve your overall quality of life.
That said, you may have some loose or sagging skin following your weight loss, which is where a skilled Cancun plastic surgeon comes into play.
Why Skin Tightening Surgery is Necessary
As you gain weight, your skin will stretch to accommodate that weight gain. As you lose weight, your skin will only be able to conform to your slimmer frame to a certain degree. This is normal and the basic nature of skin laxity. It’s a bit like what happens when you stretch t-shirt out too much or overuse an elastic band of some kind.
The only way to get rid of that excess skin is surgery, and there are different surgeries for different parts of the body. When we perform a comprehensive body lift to tighten the skin, we tailor it to the exact needs of each patient for the best in customized rejuvenation and aesthetic care.
Skin Tightening Surgery for the Abdominal Area and Torso
For the stomach area, the most common surgery is the Cancun tummy tuck, which removes excess skin of the lower abdomen. Both an extended tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck are available depending on the amount of skin that needs to be removed. Extended tummy tucks tend to be a staple of total body lift surgeries for drastic weight loss.
Skin Tightening Surgery for the Breast and Chest
The chest can also be adversely affected by weight loss, and that goes for both men and women. Women who have breasts that sag or lose pertness after weight loss can turn to breast lift surgery or breast reduction surgery to improve overall contour and appearance. In some cases, a breast augmentation surgery is combined with these other breast enhancement surgeries for a comprehensive lift and enhancement of the breasts.
For men, male breast reduction is available. This will involve the removal of fat, skin, and other excess tissues to ensure the chest area does not look effeminate.
Skin Tightening Surgery for the Face
Even the face can be the site for drooping and sagging from weight loss. In such cases, a facelift is the ideal treatment. There are actually different facial lift surgeries that can be performed to target different portions of the face. This includes the jowls, cheeks, and the neckline, all of which can be altered by weight gain and weight loss.
