Why should you consider undergoing excess skin removal after Bariatric Surgery with Dr. Oscar Porras?
Bariatric surgery has transformed the lives of thousands of individuals seeking medical tourism in Tijuana. The city's location allows millions of people to cross the US border each year and access top-class medical services, saving them thousands of dollars that would otherwise be spent on medications and non-surgical treatments.
Procedures such as Vertical Gastric Sleeve or Gastric Bypass can result in significant weight loss, sometimes leaving patients with excess skin as their bodies adapt to this change. However, excess skin removal after weight loss in Tijuana allows them to enjoy extraordinary benefits.
Additionally, excess skin can pose hygiene challenges, leading to rashes, skin infections, and sores. Therefore, Dr. Oscar Porras performs top plastic surgery procedures to remove excess skin, reducing the risk of developing such issues or discomfort and enabling patients to embrace a fantastic new body free of the skin that no longer reflects their true selves, allowing them to enjoy the body they dreamed of and worked so hard to achieve.
What Are The Recommended Plastic Surgery Procedures After Weight Loss?
Typically, Dr. Oscar Porras suggests undergoing excess skin removal after bariatric surgery in stages (Rounds) because every patient is different, and the body areas that need to be addressed may vary in each case.
These are the recommended plastic surgery procedures after weight loss, tailored to the patient’s needs and expectations:
Lower Body Lifting - Where Art Meets Surgery
Every procedure performed by Dr. Oscar Porras bears his artistic touch, and the lower body lift is no exception. As Dr. Porras addresses your sagging tummy, he restores your body contour within the limits of your anatomy, reconstructing the gap between your abdominal muscles.
In the Lower Body lift Dr Porras restores the tightness of your abdomen
This includes the Mon pubis, the lateral pillar of your thighs (improving dimpled skin), and the aspect of the buttocks. If you have an excessive amount of skin, this procedure can be a life-changer both physically and psychologically. Additionally, when this procedure focuses on restoring the pre-mommy conditions of the abdomen, it enhances self-confidence and self-esteem in women.
We often receive many requests for liposuction in combination with this procedure. Dr. Porras combines two types of techniques for harvesting your fat and maximizing your body contour. This not only contours your abdomen but also your lower back for a smooth transition to the buttocks.
Regarding recovery,
the post-op recommendations developed by Dr. Oscar Porras based on his own technique help all our patients experience minimal pain, making it easier to walk around from day 1. We recommend a minimum stay of 10 nights after surgery. During this time, Dr. Porras personally provides you with a personal follow-up. After day 11, constant communication with our team will schedule virtual meetings with Dr. Porras for the next 6 months of follow-up. Dr. Porras does not allow any other doctor or nurse to provide follow-ups. Remember that achieving a successful outcome requires as much effort during your recovery period as during the surgery itself.
As your body changes during your weight loss journey, sagging skin starts to develop in your upper back, arms, and even your breasts may become droopy (or men may develop pseudo-gynecomastia). The upper body lift addresses these areas (arms, breast/torso, and your back), removing fat rolls from the back, excess skin and fat from your arms, and performing a breast lift or removing skin from a male torso. With this technique, Dr. Oscar Porras improves the contour of your upper body, achieving your true anatomical form.
