What are the plastic surgery procedures available after Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Thursday, October 30, 2008 20:21Gastric bypass surgery patients who have lost massive amounts of weight usually are faced with large amounts of excess skin in different parts of their body. Most insurance companies will cover removal of the skin after a patient’s weight has been stable for a period of one year to 18 months.
Commonly performed procedures are Panniculectomy (removal of excess abdominal skin), breast lift/reduction, arm lift and thigh lift. Each of these procedures decreases the possibility of skin breakdown from tissue rubbing and allows the patient to wear different clothing and usually allows greater physical activity.
Prior to surgery patients need medical clearance from their physician and should be able to go back to work in about 2 weeks depending on the procedure performed.
