Surgery Following
Major Weight Loss

Losing significant amounts of weight either naturally or with the help of bariatric surgery is an amazing achievement. However, you may not have imagined that you would be left with large amounts of excess loose skin around your tummy area, thighs, buttocks, back and arms. The breasts can lose volume and look deflated. Having residual excess skin following major weight loss can have a both a physical and psychological impact and affect your daily living. You may be unable to wear the clothes that you wish or have always wanted to wear and may feel the need to hide under loose clothing when facing the public or when intimate with your partner. Maintaining skin hygiene can sometimes be difficult as the areas under the skin folds can get become macerated and develop infections. Despite the great sense of achievement at having lost the weight, you may be unhappy and self-conscious with your new body and may have lost your self-confidence and feel depressed. As a last resort, some who have achieved major weight loss even consider putting their weight back on, just to feel comfortable with their body once again.Many feel abandoned by the NHS once they have lost their weight as any surgery to remove excess skin is classed as ‘cosmetic’ and often either restricted or excluded. Plastic surgery can remove the excess skin, and help contour and reshape your body.
