Body contouring after bariatric surgery?

Hello! Thank you for reaching out with your question. It's great that you're considering your options to address potential skin sagging following gastric sleeve surgery.

Combining gastric sleeve surgery with Vaser liposuction and Embrace RF can be a viable option for improving skin tone and body contouring. However, it's essential to discuss this with your healthcare provider and plastic surgeon to ensure it aligns with your overall treatment plan and goals.

Here are some insights to consider:

Timing of Procedures: Your healthcare team will likely recommend waiting until you've reached a stable weight after gastric sleeve surgery before undergoing additional procedures such as Vaser liposuction and Embrace RF. This allows your body time to heal and adjust to the changes from the initial surgery.
Consultation with Plastic Surgeon: Schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience working with patients who have undergone weight loss surgery. They can assess your specific concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for achieving your desired outcomes.
Combination Treatments: Vaser liposuction can help address stubborn fat deposits, while Embrace RF utilizes radiofrequency technology to tighten and firm the skin. Combining these treatments can provide comprehensive results for improving body contour and skin tone.
Revision Surgery: Depending on your individual response to weight loss and skin elasticity, you may require additional procedures such as body lift surgery to address excess skin and achieve optimal contouring. Your aesthetic surgeon can provide guidance on the timing and necessity of revision surgery based on your progress and goals.
Realistic Expectations: It's important to have realistic expectations about the results of these procedures and understand that they may not completely eliminate all skin sagging. However, they can significantly improve body contour and enhance your overall appearance.
Before proceeding with any additional procedures, be sure to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and timeline with your healthcare team. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs and help you make informed decisions about your treatment plan.

Best of luck with your gastric sleeve surgery and your journey toward improved health and well-being!
