Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) December 20, 2016 -- Joshua Kreithen, M.D., co-founder of Holcomb – Kreithen Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, PLLC (“HKPS”), and one of the leading Breast and Body plastic surgeons in Florida is a noted specialist in advanced body contouring surgical techniques for patients who have had major weight-loss and surgery. From his significant experience, Dr. Kreithen understands first hand the benefits of having surgical body contouring procedures after bariatric surgery, both physical and psychological, and how it can improve a patient’s odds at keeping the weight off.
Bariatric surgery results in rapid and massive weight loss for patients who undergo it. However, the dramatic weight loss often leaves behind substantial amounts of excess and lax skin. Unlike with slower, gradual weight loss, skin and tissue lack the elasticity to conform to the new, reduced body size.
Dr. Kreithen has worked with many post-bariatric surgery patients to help lift, tighten, and remove excess skin or fat, as an ideal complement to the substantial weight loss they have undergone. He says, “Unfortunately, many patients regain much of their body weight in the years after gastric bypass, and this puts them back at increased risk for obesity-related health problems. Studies have shown, and my experience with my own patients bears this out, that post-bariatric surgery patients who opt for body contouring surgery are more likely to keep the weight off.”
Dr. Kreithen offers a wide array of body contouring options that target different areas of the body, including:
• Breast lifts, for sagging, flattened breasts
• Tummy tucks, for the apron of excess skin hanging over the abdomen
• Lower body lifts, for sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, groin and outer thighs
• Medial thigh lifts, for sagging of the inner, outer and mid-thigh
• Arm lifts, for sagging of the upper arms
For many people, removal of the excess skin through body contouring helps overcome the last roadblock to accepting and embracing their new appearance. Dr. Kreithen says, “For many patients, having post-bariatric surgery body contouring patients removes the final reminder of their previous appearance. While the physiological benefits are undeniable, the emotional and psychological ones are equally powerful, and play an important role in boosting confidence and improving overall well-being.”
