“AESTHETIC” SURGERY AFTER MASSIVE WEIGHT LOSS

Massive and rapid weight loss after intensive dieting and/or gastric bypass improves the general condition and health of obese patients.

It can also often lead to a significant morphological change with tissue collapse that is difficult to survive, a source of anxiety.

The benefit obtained by a long medico-surgical journey is then overshadowed by the morphological sequelae and can lead to a failure in couple relations and in socio-professional reintegration.

The various persons responsible for the care of these patients must be careful to limit their illusions and hopes with regard to the future silhouette of their patients. It is also necessary for the patients themselves to be aware of the limits of reconstructive surgery… A consultation will allow us to talk about this.
