How to Get Rid of Sagging Skin After Gastric Bypass and Weight Loss?

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
As both a bariatric and cosmetic surgeon, performing body contouring (removal of excess skin) on my bariatric patients if one of the most rewarding surgeries of my job. In fact, we discuss the possibility of body contouring at the very first bariatric surgery consultation appointment. I understand that in addition to weight loss and the improved health that comes with it, comfort in movement and an optimal physical appearance are also a top priority for patients.
I often combine arms with breast, arms with abdomen, or abdomen with breast. I prefer to perform thigh lifts alone, as the final surgery.
Best wishes in your pursuit of health, 
Dr. Moein

After loosing a huge amount of weight saggy skin is one of the the undesired effects. To removed this excess of skin you will need plastic surgery, seek a consultation with a plastic surgeon that specializes in post- bariatric patients.

Congratulations on this successful weight loss.   I would suggest that you wait until you have reached your long-term stable weight prior to seeking consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate lots of examples  achieving the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. Generally speaking, combination surgical procedures are done routinely. However, you are wise in being concerned about the safety of combination surgery; risks/possible complications do increase with increased length of surgery… 





 During this consultation process, after a complete history and physical, the SAFETY of combining these surgical procedures becomes of paramount importance.  For example, how much liposuctioning is indicated and can be safely performed will become a judgment call that can only be made after careful evaluation of the patient's overall situation.







Your best bet: choose your plastic surgeon very carefully; everything else including good judgment/advice/planning, anesthesia provider and safe surgery facility will follow. Best wishes.
