Post Weight Loss Treatment (Bariatric Plastic Surgery)

You can be a good candidate for a Post Weight loss treatment if:

• You have lost a significant amount of weight and have stubborn pockets of fat on certain areas of the body that refuse to go away.
• Your body has ended up in a bad shape after losing a lot of weight.
• You have excessive or saggy skin on your body.
• You want to enhance your curves after losing a lot of weight.
• Your arms, buttocks, or belly have sagged after your weight loss.
• You are otherwise healthy and lead an active lifestyle. 

The basic aim of a Post Weight loss treatment in Dubai is to help you achieve an ideal body shape after a significant amount of weight loss by:

• Bringing your body features in harmony with each other so that the body is well-proportioned.
• Getting rid of unwanted pockets of fat.
• Removing the sagginess from different parts of the body.
• Getting rid of excessive or sagging skin.

The technique for Post Weight loss treatment is usually determined by the area which needs to be treated. Different procedures are carried out on different body parts.

• Tummy Tuck – This technique is used to get rid of excess fat and skin from the abdominal region. It is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess fat from the belly using liposuction, tightening the abdominal muscles and removing the extra lengths of skin. This makes the belly flat and in proportion to the rest of the body. 
• Arm Lift – This surgical procedure is designed to make the arms tighter and thinner by removing all excess fat and hanging skin. The surgeon extracts the fat through liposuction, tightens the muscles and then cuts off all excess skin. Once stitched back together, the arms appear more firm and attractive.
• Breast Lift – Massive weight loss elsewhere in the body can leave the boobs saggy. A breast lift surgery gets rid of this sagginess and makes the breasts firmer, rounder, and shapelier. The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the breasts and repositioning the underlying tissues. Sometimes the areola is also repositioned to a higher level to improve breast symmetry.
• Buttock Lift – Much like breast lift, a buttock lift is also designed to remove excess fat and skin from the buttocks to make them rounder, firmer and shapelier. A surgeon extracts all excess fat from the buttock region through liposuction and then re-positions the underlying muscles to make the butts firm. Excess skin is then cut off and the incisions are stitched back together, leaving a nicely shaped pair of buttocks.

Post Weight loss treatments are usually extensive surgical procedures that require a significant amount of preparation. You will also need to set aside a budget to cover the entire cost of Post Weight loss treatment in Dubai. Your surgeon will advise you on all the important precautions and preparations that you need to make before going under the knife.

Your pre-op preparations will most likely involve some of the following.

• Get some required lab tests done to ensure your suitability for the treatment.
• Adjust your diet regimen according to the instructions of your surgeon.
• Take prescribed medications regularly and discontinue aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Post Weight loss treatments are surgical procedures that usually take two to three hours to complete. All of these are carried out under local or general anesthesia so you don’t feel any pain during the procedure. However, there is usually some pain after the treatment which has to be dealt with medications.

Usually, this treatment involves the following steps.

• Your surgeon will first administer local or general anesthesia to minimize any pain or discomfort.
• The surgeon will then make small incisions in the skin on the treatment site and insert cannulas through these incisions.
• Fat is then removed from these targeted locations, using liposuction or laser-lipo.
• If needed, the surgeon will reposition the muscles to reduce sagginess.
• If there’s excessive skin, the surgeon will cut it all off.
• In the end, the skin is stitched back together and the incisions are shut close. Medications and bandages are applied to the wounds to help the body heal quickly.
