Cosmetic Surgery Options after Lap-band Surgery

People who have had lap-band surgery and experienced massive weight loss have achieved a significant accomplishment. However, patients are often left with excess skin issues. In fact, more than 4 out of every 5 patients report problems with excess skin.

The most common areas where patients see excess skin is in their abdomen, upper arms, back, knees and along the inside of their thighs. This is extremely common since skin will lose its elasticity over time, leaving it loose and hanging.

Fortunately, weight loss surgery recipients do have options for dealing with their excess skin. Cosmetic surgery can help eliminate excess skin and tighten up problem areas. Ederra Bella offers a variety of surgical treatments to help you gain confidence in your appearance and eliminate excess skin after lap-band surgery. Read on to learn more about your options.

What are My Options for Removing Excess Skin after Lap-band Surgery?

There are many different cosmetic surgery options available to you if you are dealing with excess skin as a result of massive weight loss. Treatment will depend on where your problem areas lie within your body. Here are some of the most commonly requested cosmetic surgeries after the lap-band surgery:

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift works to improve the shape of the thighs by reducing loose skin. Many lap-band patients that have experienced incredible weight loss find that they have excess skin issues in the thigh area. This procedure tightens the skin for firm, taut thighs.

Arm Lift

After lap-band surgery, loose skin hanging from the arms may become an issue. An arm lift will sculpt your upper arms by tightening the supportive tissues that define their shape. This cosmetic surgery procedure eliminates loose, sagging skin that hangs downward to reveal more slender, toned upper arms.

Breast Surgery

Rapid weight loss can leave breasts sagging and shapeless. A breast lift can help improve the symmetry and fullness of your bust, giving you back your confidence and a more feminine shape.

Liposuction

Following your lap-band surgery, you may be dealing with a few problem areas and some excess weight. Liposuction will remove weight from targeted areas. This can include your thighs, calves, ankles, chest, chin, neck and more.

Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty, also known as the tummy tuck, is effective at removing excess stomach fat and skin, revealing a smoother and sleeker appearance.
