Bariatric Surgery
(surgery for weight loss) has become an acceptable and
viable treatment for morbid obesity. The consequence of
weight loss after such surgery is dramatic in its
positive effects on the health and well being of
individuals who have suffered from the ravages of morbid
obesity. However, this dramatic amount of weight loss
can leave the body with an astonishing amount of excess
skin, the loss of physiologic contour and architecture,
and overall aging of all body parts. Weight loss body
contouring can dramatically remodel a body that has
undergone significant weight loss.
