GBRX: a.k.a post-Gastric Bypass Reconstruction of the Body
Following the significant amount of weight loss such as after a Bariatric or Gastric Bypass Surgery, a person can be left with a tremendous amount of excess, hanging skin throughout many areas of the body that do not shrink back to the person's new body shape. This tissue is sometimes referred to as the "pannicule" and removal is called a "panniculectomy." The muscles may also become loose after the dramatic weight loss. The lack of elasticity of the remaining skin often causes excessive amounts of skin to accumulate and hang in various areas, including the face, neck, breasts, upper and lower abdomen, flanks, armpit (axilla), back, buttocks, arms, forearms, thighs, legs, and calves. This excess skin also can cause hygienic problems, skin irritation, skin breakdown and pain, and infection. GBRX, Dr. Batra's Reconstructive surgery after Gastric Bypass or Bariatric surgery is sought to solve these common issues.
Coastal Plastic Surgeons perform numerous post Gastric Bypass Reconstructive (GBRX) plastic surgery, providing this specialized care for over 100 people every year.
