Obesity surgery has been performed with increasing frequency in the last 10 years, especially since the results of sleeve gastrectomy surgery are clear, the number of patients in most clinics has exceeded thousands. Due to the rapid and permanent weight loss in the postoperative period, excess skin, which is not visible under the clothes but causes serious discomfort, is a problem. Removal of excess skin requires operations such as abdominoplasty, breast reduction and lifting as well as operations such as arm and leg lifting, which were frequently performed in the past.
Timing of Operations
Especially after bariatric surgery, we often perform the operations of our patients who encounter these problems in two steps. The biggest reason for not performing the operations in one step is the increased risk of the operation, as well as the corsets we use for 4-6 weeks, especially after arm-leg stretching operations. For this reason, we recommend these operations in cooler periods rather than hot summer months. Fat injection is also possible in the same operation for areas with localized fat tissue loss (for example on the face) due to the decrease in body mass index from 40s to 20s. The timing of aesthetic operations after bariatric surgery varies from patient to patient, we need to state that the time when weight loss stops and there is no weight gain is critical. Although the weight loss in the first 1 year is mostly permanent, especially in people with sleeve gastrectomy surgery, there may be a period of weight regain in patients who have not yet established their eating habits, and therefore dietitian control may be extended. For this reason, it is more suitable to perform aesthetic surgeries in patients with established eating habits.
