Comprehensive Body Renewal with GBRX at Coastal Plastic Surgeons

At Coastal Plastic Surgeons, we understand that losing a significant amount of weight is a life-changing accomplishment, but for many, loose skin and weakened tissue can conceal the progress achieved. Dr. Munish Batra, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, developed the Gastric Bypass Reconstruction (GBRX) procedure to help post-bariatric patients reclaim their confidence with a smoother, tighter, and more defined figure. By combining advanced contouring techniques with personalized artistry, GBRX refines your results and reveals the strong, balanced body beneath. Contact Coastal Plastic Surgeons today to schedule your GBRX consultation and begin your transformation.

What Is GBRX?

The Gastric Bypass Reconstruction (GBRX) procedure is a specialized body contouring surgery developed and trademarked by Dr. Munish Batra to address the unique needs of patients who have lost a large amount of weight, typically after gastric bypass or other bariatric surgeries. Significant weight loss often leaves behind stretched, sagging skin and tissue laxity across multiple areas of the body—issues that diet and exercise alone cannot correct.

GBRX is a comprehensive surgical approach that targets excess skin and reshapes the body in a single, strategically planned operation. By focusing on multiple regions—including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms—Dr. Batra restores harmony to the body's contours, helping patients achieve results that reflect their hard work and dedication.

Benefits of GBRX

Patients who undergo GBRX surgery enjoy both aesthetic and functional improvements that enhance their quality of life. This customized procedure offers a variety of long-lasting benefits, including:

Comprehensive Body Contouring

Removes large areas of excess skin from multiple regions in one procedure for balanced, natural-looking results.

Improved Skin Elasticity

Tightens stretched, sagging skin to create smoother and firmer body contours.

Restored Muscle Tone

Repairs weakened or separated muscle tissue for a more sculpted and stable core.

Enhanced Mobility and Comfort

Eliminates hanging skin that can cause chafing, irritation, or discomfort during physical activity.

Boosted Confidence

Reveals your true figure, empowering you to enjoy clothing, movement, and life without restriction.

Personalized Refinement

 Each GBRX is tailored to your anatomy and goals for the most natural and transformative outcome possible.

Who Is a Good Candidate for GBRX?

Ideal candidates for GBRX are men and women who have experienced significant weight loss—typically 100 pounds or more—either through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes. Candidates should have maintained a stable weight for at least six months and be in overall good health. Many patients experience loose skin that sags around the abdomen, arms, chest, thighs, and back, even after achieving a healthy body mass index.

Candidates should also have realistic expectations about their results and understand that GBRX is not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a body-restoring one. Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery tend to heal more effectively and experience smoother outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Batra will evaluate your health, body composition, and goals to determine if GBRX is the ideal treatment for you.

Your Consultation

Your GBRX journey begins with a thorough consultation at Coastal Plastic Surgeons. During this visit, Dr. Batra will review your medical history, examine areas of skin laxity, and discuss your aesthetic concerns. You’ll have the opportunity to review before-and-after photos of other GBRX patients, ask questions, and receive a customized surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Dr. Batra’s approach is comprehensive and compassionate—he takes the time to ensure every patient feels fully informed and confident in their decision before moving forward.

What to Expect During Your GBRX Procedure

GBRX is performed under general anesthesia and may last several hours, depending on the extent of correction required. The procedure often combines multiple body contouring techniques, such as a tummy tuck, lower body lift, arm lift, or thigh lift, performed in a single surgical session. Dr. Batra makes careful, well-concealed incisions that allow for the removal of excess skin and fat, tightening of underlying muscles, and redraping of the remaining tissue to create smooth, natural contours. Because GBRX is highly individualized, no two procedures are exactly the same—Dr. Batra’s expertise ensures your outcome is both functional and aesthetically balanced. After surgery, compression garments are applied to support the healing tissues, minimize swelling, and help the body adjust to its new contours.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from GBRX varies depending on the number of areas treated and your body’s natural healing response. Most patients stay overnight for observation before returning home the following day. You’ll likely experience mild to moderate swelling and bruising for several weeks, which will gradually improve as your body heals. Light movement is encouraged early in recovery to promote circulation, but strenuous activity should be avoided for four to six weeks.

Dr. Batra will provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Once healed, patients can expect a firmer, more youthful-looking body contour with visible improvements in comfort, mobility, and self-image. The results of GBRX are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.

How Much Does GBRX Cost?

The cost of GBRX surgery depends on the complexity of your case, the number of areas addressed, surgical facility fees, anesthesia, and post-operative care. Because each procedure is fully customized, pricing can only be accurately determined after a personal consultation. Financing options are available through partners like PatientFi, CareCredit, and ALPHAEON Credit to help make your transformation more accessible.

FAQs GBRX

How is GBRX different from a traditional body lift?

GBRX is a comprehensive, full-body approach that addresses multiple areas of excess skin and laxity at once, unlike a standard body lift that targets only specific regions such as the abdomen or thighs.

Will I have visible scars after GBRX?

While scarring is unavoidable, Dr. Batra uses advanced incision techniques and strategic placement to minimize visibility. Over time, scars typically fade and can be concealed beneath clothing and swimwear.

Can GBRX be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine GBRX with breast surgery or facial rejuvenation for a complete post-weight-loss transformation. Dr. Batra will advise on safe and effective combinations during your consultation.

How long do the results of GBRX last?

Results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy weight and avoid significant weight fluctuations. Proper skin care and lifestyle choices can further extend the longevity of your results.

Is GBRX covered by insurance?

GBRX is considered a cosmetic procedure and is typically not covered by insurance. However, flexible financing options are available to make treatment more affordable.
