A person suffering from morbid obesity can undergo various weight loss treatments to lose between 20 and 60 kilograms (or even more). Some of these treatments may include diets, intragastric balloon, elliptical balloon, among others.
After any of these procedures, the significant weight loss has repercussions on the body, changing its aesthetic appearance due to skin flaccidity. The most affected areas are usually the following:
- Breasts
- Abdomen
- Legs
- Arms
What are the consequences of these changes?
Undergoing any of these treatments can lead to problems of self-esteem or confidence in the patient. It is for this reason that Clínica Mandri offers an integral treatment for the after-effects, applying different techniques with the objective of improving the body contour.
The following plastic surgeries can be performed, depending on the needs of each patient:
- Abdominoplasty
- Mastopexy
- Leg lift
- Arm lift
What does the procedure consist of?
- Analyze the patient to verify that you have finished losing weight. It is necessary to have spent a year with a stable weight.
- The plastic surgery team must recommend the surgery.
- In case it is necessary, a first visit will be made free of charge and without obligation. At this time, the procedure will be explained and any doubts the patient may have will be resolved.
- In the event that the patient wants to go ahead, the preparatory work begins: weighing, measuring, photographs and giving consent.
- Second visit to finish solving any other doubts prior to the intervention.
- Set a date for the surgery.
- To reduce hematomas, the postoperative period will consist of lymphatic drainage massages and bioptron lights.
At the Mandri Clinic a dietary follow-up is performed so that the patient has good eating habits, avoiding possible relapses.
