Post Bariatric Body Lift is a transformative procedure designed for individuals who have experienced massive weight loss (more than 50% of their body weight) due to bariatric procedures like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. While these procedures can dramatically improve health, they often leave behind excess skin in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, chest, and back. This sagging skin can impact both physical appearance and comfort.
Dr. Sanjay specializes in Post Bariatric Body Lift, using advanced surgical techniques to remove excess skin and tighten the remaining tissue, giving you a more sculpted, proportionate body.

Proper preparation ensures a smooth procedure and recovery:
Full medical evaluation to ensure your readiness for surgery
Avoid smoking and alcohol prior to surgery
Maintain a healthy diet and hydration
Stop blood-thinning medications as instructed
Follow fasting instructions if general anesthesia is used
Anesthesia: You will be given general anesthesia for your comfort.
Incisions: Small incisions will be made to remove the excess skin in the targeted areas.
Skin Removal: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened.
Shaping: The body is sculpted for a more natural, toned look.
Closure: Incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring.
Post-operative care is crucial for optimal results:
Wear compression garments as recommended to support healing
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a few weeks
Take prescribed medications as directed to manage discomfort
Keep incision sites clean and follow all wound care instructions
Attend follow-up appointments for progress monitoring
Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated areas. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
Swelling begins to decrease, and the shape of the treated areas starts to improve. You can gradually resume normal activities.
The final results of the Post Bariatric Body Lift will become visible as the body heals fully and the skin settles into its new shape.
