The role of aesthetic surgery

A significant fall in weight (or a cycle of weight excursions) secondary to Bariatric Surgery or to medical therapy, always determines the appearance of skin laxity (more or less severe depending on the size of the weight loss) that mainly manifests itself in the following regions:

- Abdominal wall (pendulous stomach)
– Mammary region (mammary ptosis)
– Crural region
– Supero
– medial region of the arm


Other regions may be concerned: Cervico-facial, Dorso-lumbar, Lower limbs. Restoring the post-slimming body image, the last act in the integrated multi-disciplinary treatment requires the following interventions: Abdominal derma defatting (abdominoplasty), Mastopexis, Crural derma defatting, (thigh lifting) and Brachial derma defatting (arm lifting).
