Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss in Denver

Body Contouring After Weight Loss or Bariatric Surgery

Losing large amounts of weight can be the most exciting transformation in a person’s life. Weight loss can bring great joy and a feeling of accomplishment, but because the excess skin doesn’t go away when the weight goes away, patients are often distressed at the flabbiness that remains. The sagging folds of extra skin and tissue can interfere with your confidence with your new body.

The person who just lost weight feels great about him or herself, but the sagging folds of extra skin can interfere with their delight. That’s where the highly skilled Denver plastic surgeon, Dr. Nick Slenkovich, can help in shedding the last remnant of the old self and the old self image.

My first consultation was very helpful as you were both very clear on what would be involved in the surgery both before & after. You & your staff answered all of my concerns. It was reassuring that if I had any problems, night or day, that I could count on you & your staff. I was also impressed with the amount of follow up visits that you offer your patients. You were concerned that I was happy with the results and that if I was not you could offer other options to make the outcome be as it was as we discussed before the surgery.

Post Weight Loss Plastic Surgery

The goal of plastic surgery after large weight loss is not just about removing excess skin; a plastic surgeon skilled at contouring the body after a significant weight loss also “molds” the affected areas of the body, creating the most attractive contours possible. As the Plastic Surgeon rids the body of the excess skin, he sculpts the body at the same time through a process called “Body Contouring,” tightening up muscles which have gone lax due to the overweight burden (especially in the abdomen) and re-adjusting contours (such as breasts) where appropriate.

Post weight loss plastic surgery is often necessary because, while the body was overweight, the skin grew bigger and also stretched to accommodate the extra weight, especially if the person has been overweight since childhood, when more skin cells formed to accommodate the weight. When the weight is lost, the skin stays as big as it always was, but there’s nothing inside it to fill it out causing everything to sag.

To correct the sagging that is typically prominent following massive weight loss, Dr. Nick Slenkovich performs a number of post-weight loss cosmetic surgeries either separately or in combination. Depending on the amount of weight you’ve lost and your individual desired results, body contouring following significant weight loss may require more than one surgery to reach your goal, and may be done in stages with the areas of greatest concern being addressed first.
