Tummy Tuck After Bariatric Surgery – Columbus, Ohio“You look great!” After losing large amounts of weight through bariatric surgery, many Columbus, Ohio patients hear compliments such as this from friends and family. However, patients may not feel like they look “great” because they still have extra skin left over, especially in the abdomen. Due to typical fat distribution before bariatric surgery, the abdomen is usually the area of the body with the most excess skin.
Do you need a tummy tuck now that you've lost the weight? Tightening and removal of this extra skin is essential for the patient to be able to wear proportionally-sized clothing and to avoid getting rashes. Tummy tuck after weight loss procedures, performed by Columbus surgeon Bivik Shah, are an excellent way for bariatric surgery patients to take another step towards leading a happier, healthier life.
Dr. Shah understands how intimidating a tummy tuck after weight loss and bariatric surgery can be. At our Columbus practice, serving all of Ohio, we will make sure that you understand every step of the process and that all of your questions are answered. The procedure can be done at any Columbus area hospital that is convenient to you.
Tummy Tuck Surgery after Weight Loss at the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery is done in one of three ways: panniculectomy, tummy tuck, or belt lipectomy. The choice of method will depend on your health, as well as the amount of loose skin you have following bariatric surgery. Ohio surgeon Bivik Shah will also base his decision on your postoperative aesthetic goals.
