Knowing obesity
Will I need plastic surgery after weight loss?
It’s unpredictable. Same as the development of stretch marks during pregnancy and their recovery after it.
The greater the obesity, the less recoverable the deformity.
The surgeries that are most often needed are:
- Abdominoplasty: Both men and women.
- Plastia of internal face of thighs and arms: More frequent women.
The need for and convenience of plastic surgery is established when the patient’s weight loss has already stabilized. (To 1-2 years).
The more the patient cares about diet and physical exercise during weight loss, the better the aesthetic result and the less need for surgery after weight loss.
