Post Weight Loss Surgery for Men

Following weight loss surgery, or any substantial amount of weight loss, the skin and tissues often lack elasticity and cannot conform to the reduced body size.  As a result, skin that has been severely stretched now is unsupported.  Upper arms may sag, breasts may flatten and droop, and an apron of skin may hang down over the abdomen.

Surgical body recontouring following major weight loss improves the shape and tone of your underlying tissue that supports fat and skin, and removes excess fat and skin.  The result is a more normal appearance to the body, with smoother contours.

Procedures, which can be performed, include male chest reduction, arm-lift surgery (brachioplasty), and tummy-tuck (abdominoplasty).  Unfortunately, Dr. Bartell is unwilling to perform these procedures in combination for safety reasons.  Patients should decide which part of their body bothers them the most and start with that.
