What is Post Bariatric Surgery?
The patients who are defined as obese due to their weight problems can lose weight using some different methods. The amount and time of the weight that is lost may vary according to these methods. In some of these methods, the patients lose so much weight in a very short time, so as a result, there may be some problems with the body. These problems that the patients complain the most include saggy and loose skin. Post bariatric surgery is a combination of different methods, which treats these kind of problems.
With this operation, the skin is tidied up, and the body of the patient after excessive weight loss can be reshaped. It is not a single operation but a planned combination of much plastic operation.
Who can have this surgery?

In operations such as face lifting, arm lifting, breast lifting, butt lifting and filling, abdomen, back and waist lifting, the excessive skin is removed and the body is reshaped.

For these operations, the weight loss journey of the patient is followed in details and these operations are planned considering if the patient will continue losing weight, and the situation after the weight loss etc. Combining all above giving operations in consideration with other possible operations, the most suitable ones for that patient are determined and applied.
The order of these operations may vary as the result of each one of them changes the dynamics of the patient’s body, and the doctors observe the situation after every operation and decide the step considering all. After completing all these operations, if it is necessary some other revision operations can be done. With these, the doctors guarantee a perfect result, putting the patient’s health in first place.
