San Diego Post Bariatric Surgery

Men and women who undergo bariatric surgery are often left with loose, excess skin in various areas of the body. Due to loss of elasticity, this can only be corrected with a combination of procedures in post-bariatric surgery. Larry H. Pollack, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a San Diego post bariatric surgery specialist and performs this surgery at his practice, Del Mar Plastic Surgery. Understanding that this is a lengthy and emotional process, Dr. Pollack and his staff provide patients with the utmost of care.

What procedures are involved in post bariatric surgery?

When meeting with San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Pollack, patients can discuss their problem areas, desired results, and learn of their options. The most commonly performed procedures in post bariatric surgery include arm lift surgery ("brachioplasty"), breast lift surgery ("mastopexy"), tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"), and thigh lift surgery ("thighplasty"). The tummy tuck procedure can also tighten the abdominal muscles to produce a more toned midsection. Dr. Pollack can remove excess skin and provide a firmer body contour with these procedures, which may be performed in more than one visit. Further details regarding the options available in post-bariatric surgery can be obtained during a consultation.

In addition to post-bariatric plastic surgery, Dr. Pollack performs "Mommy Makeover" surgery, a combination of body shaping procedures. These often include breast lifts surgery and/or breast augmentation ("augmentation mammaplasty"), tummy tuck surgery, and liposuction ("lipoplasty"). Women who undergo these procedures may regain their pre-pregnancy physique.
