Seattle Post-Bariatric Cosmetic Surgery Specialist – Dr. Lisa Precht
Serving Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma
As the incidence of obesity increases in the United States, more and
more patients are turning to bariatric surgery to help with their
weight loss goals. After gastric bypass or laparoscopic gastric band
surgery, patients are able to achieve significant weight loss, which
improves their overall health. After such massive weight loss, many
patients are unfortunately left with a significant amount of excess
skin. Because this loose skin will not be reduced or tighten through
exercise or other methods, surgical removal remains the gold standard
in helping bariatric patients achieve the body they desire.
Post-bariatric plastic surgery refers to an array of surgical procedures designed to remove excess skin and unwanted fatty deposits, resulting in the optimal body contour. Because every Seattle cosmetic surgery patient is unique, an individualized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific problem areas. Common procedures performed include tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), complete body lift, posterior body lift, buttock lift, thigh lift, arm lift, breast lift, and face/neck lift. Occasionally, more than one procedure can be performed during the same operation so that patients may enjoy a faster recovery.
At Premier Cosmetic Surgery & Medispa in Seattle, we specialize in
post-bariatric cosmetic surgery. One of our most commonly performed
operations is the complete body lift. During this procedure, the
excess skin and fat of the entire mid section is removed, which
essentially accomplishes a tummy tuck, buttock lift, and outer thigh
lift, all with just one operation. Many surgeons in the country
perform the tummy tuck and the posterior (backside) body lift during
separate operations, forcing the patient to endure two recovery
processes. At Premier Cosmetic Surgery, we routinely perform the
complete body lift as one procedure, and consistently obtain excellent
results. Additionally, we combine liposuction with the removal of
loose skin. This technique allows the maximum amount of fat and skin
to be removed, so that our patients achieve a superior body contour. Finally, our technique almost always eliminates the need for drains,
which can be a cumbersome and messy part of the recovery process. Because the complete body lift is performed as an outpatient procedure,
patients are able to recover in the comfort of their own homes rather
than in a hospital.
Since massive weight loss can result in loose skin anywhere on the
body, many patients desire more than one procedure. Certain operations
can be combined while others cannot. Our extensive experience with
post-bariatric patients allows us to determine the best operative
strategy that will provide excellent cosmetic results with the minimal
amount of recovery time. Please view our Photo Gallery and the
Procedures pages for more information on specific procedures.
