For many obese patients, bariatric surgery is only the first step in reinventing themselves. Once they've stabilized their body weights, many post-bariatric patients will undergo body contouring surgeries to help their skin fit their new bodies. Patients with size 28 skin sagging off of their suddenly size 8 bodies may need buttock lifts, upper arm lifts, lower body lifts, abdominoplasties, panniculectomies, breast lifts and breast reductions to remove the folds of excess, baggy skin - and to look as good as they feel.
