At Curls and Curves Cosmetic Clinic in Bangalore, we provide specialized care and treatment for individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery. It is common that excessive weight becomes an issue. After a while, as patients who are losing large amounts of weight tend to have sagging, excess skin, especially in the areas of the abdomen, thighs, arms, and face. Post-bariatric surgery is a series of procedures that are intended to remove this excess skin and reshape the patient, thereby enabling them to fully enjoy the benefits of weight loss.

What is Post-Bariatric Surgery?

Post-bariatric surgery, which is also known as body contouring after weight loss, is the term used to denote a series of cosmetic surgeries aimed at the areas of the body that have been affected by the significant loss of weight. These procedures are directed towards the purpose of controlling and shaping the skin which results in a body shape more fitting and pleasing to the eye.

Common procedures under the post-bariatric surgery include:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles.
• Arm lift (brachioplasty): Targets sagging skin on the upper arms.
• Thigh lift: Reduces excess skin on the inner thighs.
• Breast lift: Restores the shape and firmness of the breasts.
• Facelift: Tightens sagging skin on the face and neck.

Post-Bariatric Surgery Procedures

At Curls and Curves, we have a long list of surgery procedures which are done after bariatric surgery for different areas of concern. Some of the most popular procedures are:

• • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
    Loose skin in the abdominal area is a common concern after weight loss. A Tummy Tuck is a process that eliminates the loose skin and strengthens the muscles underneath thus giving a more smooth and toned appearance.

• • Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
    Sagging skin on the upper arms, a phenomenon sometimes called “bat wings”, can be treated by an arm lift. This performs by getting rid of extra skin and thus the arm’s shape is made tighter which gives the arm a firmer look.

• • Thigh Lift
    A thigh lift is a surgery that tones up the thighs and makes them more proportionate by removing excess skin and fat. This treatment is highly advantageous for patients who have excess skin and crease in the inner thighs.

• • Breast Lift
    When weight loss has caused sagging breasts in an individual, a breast lift can bring back the shape and firmness. In some cases, the procedure is also carried out with the help of breast implants for added volume.

• • Facelift
    Major weight loss can also cause change of skin on the face and neck. A facelift operates on the principle of skin lifting through tightening and rejuvenating old faces to a more youthful and fresher look.
