post-bariatric plastic surgery in Tijuana following major weight loss removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue. The result is a better-proportioned appearance with smoother contours.

Obesity is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases which can lead to an early death. Not to mention, obesity places tremendous pressure on all of the joints in the body, increasing the risk of degenerative diseases of the knees, hips, and feet.

Lifestyle changes with sensible diet and exercise are the best approach to help patients lose weight in a safe and maintainable manner. For people who are unable to change their lives and experience weight loss through other means, then bariatric surgery can be a wonderful method to help patients lose considerable weight.

I enter into the equation when the patient is now otherwise healthy and active, but they are unhappy because they are now prisoners in their own hanging skin fortresses.

People feel better, but they don’t look better because of all of the hanging skin around their face, arms, breasts, abdomen, flanks, buttock, and thighs. With post-bariatric plastic surgery in Tijuana I help patients with «get out of jail card» from their skin excess.

Dramatic weight loss has many benefits. But after any substantial amount of weight loss due to weight loss surgery and/or lifestyle changes, the skin and tissues often lack the elasticity to conform to the reduced body size.

Post-bariatric plastic surgery in Tijuana procedures may include:

• Arm lift: correct sagging of the upper arms
• Breast lift: correct sagging, flattened breasts

• Lower body lifts: correct sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, inner and outer thighs

In general, good body contouring candidates are:

• Adults whose weight loss has stabilized
