After Gastric Bypass:
What are the plastic surgery procedures available after Gastric Bypass?
Gastric bypass patients who have lost massive amounts of weight usually are faced with large amounts of excess skin in different parts of their body. Most insurance companies will cover removal of the skin after a patient's weight has been stable for a period of one year to 18 months.
Commonly performed procedures are Panniculectomy (removal of excess abdominal skin), breast lift, breast reduction, arm lift and thigh lift. Each of these procedures decreases the possibility of skin breakdown from tissue rubbing and allows the patient to wear different clothing and usually allows greater physical activity.
