Weight Loss Surgery

Body contouring surgery following massive weight loss can involve a number of procedures carried out either alone or in combination to help improve the quality of life. Patients with obesity are at risk of multiple medical problems. Through either diet modification or bariatric surgery (eg gastric bypass), a significant amount of weight can be lost.

This, unfortunately, can lead to problems with loose and excess skin and fat. Problems following massive weight loss include:

  • Unsightly or embarrassing appearance

  • Difficulty with movement/exercise due to skin excess

  • Irritation or skin infections such as boils

The procedures can be carried out alone or in combination. After consulting with Mr Saour, you will be given all the information you need. This will help you fully understand the proposed surgical treatment. Typical procedures include apronectomy, abdominoplasty, lower body lift, arm lift, thigh lift and breast mastopexy.

The process begins with a thorough consultation where the surgeon discusses the patient’s goals, evaluates their health, and explains the available options.

Recovery time varies, but many women can return to normal activities within a few weeks, while the final results may take several months to fully settle. As with any surgical procedure, it is essential to understand the risks, benefits, and potential complications associated with breast augmentation to make an informed decision.
