Post-bariatric plastic surgery
Post-bariatric
Post-bariatric plastic surgery is an intervention designed to correct deformities resulting from significant weight loss after bariatric surgery. This reconstructive surgery aims to solve the aesthetic and functional challenges that can arise when a person loses a substantial amount of weight.
Although the scales may indicate considerable weight loss, patients may feel uncomfortable with the excess skin that remains, affecting their self-confidence and quality of life. Leftover skin can cause physical discomfort, make it difficult to choose the right clothes and even interfere with physical activity.
These are usually surgeries to remove excess skin on the belly, back, legs, arms, face and to correct the location of muscles such as the abdomen.

Possible risks of post-bariatric plastic surgery
PLASTIC SURGERY, like any other surgery, has risks and complications, some of which are specific to it and others that are generic to any type of surgery. These include:
Generic
1. Allergies: Some medications or products used during surgery can cause allergic reactions, which can even lead to death. Allergic reactions are patient-dependent and can occur either to medicines or products that the patient has never had contact with, or to those that they have had previous contact with, even if they didn’t have a previous reaction.
2. Infection: Our body is colonized by countless bacteria, with which, at first, we live in extreme harmony. However, after surgery, they can cause infection, requiring treatment with antibiotics and rarely re-operation.
3. Hematoma: Accumulation of blood in the operated area, from a vessel that was not bleeding at the end of the operation, but did so in the immediate post-operative period. It can be treated by aspiration with a syringe and needle or, rarely, re-operation may be necessary.
