Post-bariatric body contouring surgery is a comprehensive set of procedures designed to correct excess skin, tissue laxity, and contour deformities that occur after significant weight loss. Following bariatric surgery or major weight reduction, the skin often fails to adapt to the new body volume, leading to sagging in the abdomen, arms, thighs, back and chest. These changes can affect not only aesthetic appearance but also mobility, comfort, clothing choices and skin health. Modern post-bariatric contouring techniques aim to restore balanced body proportions while improving both functional comfort and overall quality of life.
Although this process is widely known as “skin tightening after weight loss,” the correct medical term is Post-Bariatric Body Contouring Surgery. It allows the patient to adapt more comfortably to their new body size and supports long-term physical wellbeing.
