WHAT IS POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY?

Post weight loss or post bariatric plastic surgery (gastric bands, by-pass and gastric sleeve) treats skin hyperlaxities on the arms, stomach, thighs, chest, buttocks and neck.

We speak of abdominal lift, arm lift, thigh lift, body lift (abdominal lift combined with a buttock lift) etc.

It is preferable for the follow-up, the after-effects and the heaviness of the operations to separate all the operations and not to associate two long plasties together (arm-thigh or stomach-thigh lifts for example).

Only the operation on the chest (most often not covered by health insurance) can be associated with another operation, most often the arms or the abdomen...
