Gastric Bypass Reconstruction for Natural, Lasting Results in San Diego

After losing a considerable amount of weight with gastric bypass or LAP-BAND® surgery, many patients are left with a tremendous amount of excess skin. Abundant, sagging skin in the abdomen, arms, breasts, thighs, and buttocks might not shrink back to a patient’s new shape after massive weight loss. The lack of elasticity of the skin and muscles often leads to discouragement, self-consciousness, and dissatisfaction. The excess skin can also cause hygiene issues, skin irritation, pain, and infection. With gastric bypass reconstructive surgery, Dr. Batra of Coastal Plastic Surgery can solve these problems and significantly boost your confidence and complement your weight loss achievements.

Benefits of Gastric Bypass Reconstruction

Enhanced Silhouette

Massive weight loss can result in a displeasing silhouette due to loose, hanging skin and uneven curves. Gastric bypass reconstructive surgery can smooth and reshape the natural contours of the body that have been compromised by massive weight loss, giving patients a natural and polished appearance.

Removal of Fat Deposits

Even after significant weight loss, many patients still experience stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. Sometimes fat does not melt away evenly, which can be frustrating. Gastric bypass reconstruction offers overall, precise, targeted fat removal through the use of liposuction and other techniques.

Improved Confidence

Losing a tremendous amount of weight is something to be celebrated, but many gastric bypass surgery patients find themselves feeling self-conscious due to skin laxity and relentless body fat. By undergoing gastric bypass reconstruction, patients can free themselves of their former shapes and refine their new bodies.

Easing Your Concerns

Recovery

The customized nature of gastric bypass reconstruction requires a recovery plan that is unique to each patient. Your surgeon will create a custom recovery plan for you. Patients are often outfitted for compression garments to minimize swelling and assist with movement during recovery. Minimal swelling and discomfort should subside after a couple of weeks. Any activity should be reduced for some time, and patients must wait until they are given approval before returning to work or resuming exercise.

Pain

Should you experience any discomfort during recovery, pain medication will be provided. These symptoms will dissipate after a couple of weeks.

Scars

Scars may form at the incision sites, as is common with every major surgery. The degree of scarring can vary greatly depending on individual healing capabilities. Patients can reduce scarring by using silicone scar sheets and minimizing sun exposure, tension, and tugging on the incision sites. Any scarring typically fades over time.

Cost

The cost of gastric bypass reconstruction includes many factors, such as implant type, surgical fees, physician’s fees, anesthesia fees, and the like. You will be provided with a detailed price quote during your personal consultation.
