When diet and exercise fail, men and women who are severely overweight now have the option of undergoing bariatric surgery to improve their health. There are several types of bariatric surgery; each varies in method, but they all produce the same results - rapid, extreme weight loss. While this type of weight loss can significantly improve the lives of obese men and women, it almost always produces cosmetic problems. Patients are often left with massive folds of loose, sagging skin across their abdomen, arms, breasts, thighs, and neck, skin that has become so stretched it no longer conforms to their bodies.
With plastic surgery, we can help patients feel better about their new bodies. Our practice in Fairfield County, Connecticut offers several post-bariatric surgery procedures, including abdominoplasty, liposuction, breast lift, and thigh lift. These procedures can be performed on their own or combined for a full body lift.
*People who have experienced massive weight loss have a unique set of needs that must be addressed by their plastic surgeon. While many of the names of the operations sound familiar, such as tummy tuck, these patients truly require a surgical approach that is highly individualized. Dr Passaretti has extensive training and experience in post bariatric surgery and he can use any number of specialized surgical techniques to bring you the best results possible. He also knows and works closely with the best bariatric surgeons in Connecticut to make your surgery as safe and successful and possible.
If you have undergone bariatric surgery, please contact our plastic surgery practice in Fairfield County, Connecticut to find out if liposuction, abdominoplasty, or breast lift surgery is right for you.
Following bariatric surgery, most patients are left with overhanging abdominal skin. This even applies to men and women in their twenties. Though younger patients tend to have better skin elasticity, rapid weight loss of 50 pounds or more will almost always loosen the skin. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is ideal for removing this excess skin and sculpting the abdomen. We perform several versions of abdominoplasty at our Fairfield County, Connecticut practice, including circumferential abdominoplasty; the type of surgery will depend on the amount of skin that needs to be removed.
Generally, post-bariatric abdominoplasty is not recommended until weight loss has stabilized. Significant weight loss following abdominoplasty may necessitate a secondary procedure. During consultations at our practice in Fairfield County, Connecticut, we will discuss the abdominoplasty procedure in detail. At that time, Dr. Passaretti can recommend a course of treatment and answer specific questions about the surgery.

During skin reduction surgery performed at our Fairfield County practice, liposuction is often an essential tool. Though the goal of abdominoplasty and other body lift surgery is not weight reduction, Dr. Passaretti uses liposuction during both procedures to remove small amounts of fat and reshape the body. Liposuction is ideal for treating areas on the neck and below the chin where fat removal can dramatically improve the profile. It adds the finishing touches to a variety of post-bariatric procedures.

Losing breast volume and projection is a normal part of the aging process. However, following bariatric surgery, the change is immediate and often extreme. Regardless of their age, women who have lost a significant amount of weight will often find that their breasts have begun to sag and droop. The best way to correct this condition is with breast lift surgery. At our practice in Fairfield County, we offer breast lift with or without implants. While breast lift surgery can tighten skin and raise the breasts to a more flattering position, it will not make breasts larger. Many of our patients choose to combine breast lift surgery with breast augmentation for rounder, fuller breasts.

Significant weight loss often results in loose skin near the inner thighs and along the buttocks. Not only is this skin uncomfortable, it can also cause chafing and painful irritation. We offer thigh lift surgery to eliminate excess skin and tighten the inner and outer thighs for a smoother, more sculpted shape.
A “full” body lift refers to a combination of procedures designed to remove excess skin and fat from several areas of the body. At our Fairfield County, Connecticut practice, a full body lift may involve abdominoplasty surgery, targeted liposuction, thigh lift, arm lift, or breast lift. Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery should be aware that a full body lift is an extensive procedure that will result in significant scarring. In many cases, this scarring is preferable to a lifetime of dealing with loose, sagging skin. We encourage you to visit our practice in Fairfield County, Connecticut to explore your post-bariatric plastic surgery options.
