Reveal the figure you worked hard to achieve with a post-bariatric body lift by Dr. Scott Chapin, designed to remove excess skin, refine your contours, and restore comfort and confidence after weight loss.

Post-Bariatric Body Lift with Dr. Scott Chapin

After people lose a considerable amount of weight, they are often disappointed to discover they did not achieve the ideal figure they had envisioned, due to their slimmer, sleeker contours being hidden beneath sagging skin. Dr. Scott D. Chapin offers post-bariatric body lift surgery at his Doylestown practice to solve this problem by contouring the body. This can be achieved by eliminating that loose, excess skin. Why does this happen? Once the skin has been excessively stretched out by large and numerous fat cells, it can lose its elasticity, which makes it difficult—if not impossible—for it to return to its original shape or size once the fat cells shrink or are reduced in number.

In addition to aesthetic concerns, loose skin can lead to rashes, infections, and other health issues under the folds of the skin. Massive weight loss patients deserve peace of mind—and the figure they worked so hard to achieve. Dr. Chapin can help patients attain the appearance they imagined with a post-bariatric body lift. Contact Chapin Aesthetics to schedule your consultation with Dr. Chapin today! We are located in Doylestown, PA and are dedicated to serving plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery patients throughout the Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia areas.

Dr. Chapin's Customized Approach to Body Lifts

Dr. Chapin has significant experience in a variety of body contouring procedures that eliminate excess skin, any of which may be included in a post-bariatric body lift. He will draw on his years of surgical success to provide a customized plan to help you attain your aesthetic goals. These procedures can include brachioplasty, also known as arm lift surgery; lower body lift; buttock lift; thigh lift; and abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck. Generally, two or more body contouring procedures are performed in conjunction with each other to achieve optimal results. Dr. Chapin can provide post-bariatric patients with comprehensive body lift surgery options that help them achieve their aesthetic goals.

Surgical body lift procedures require an incision in the targeted areas. However, Dr. Chapin strategically places the incisions in a discreet location that is easily concealed by clothing or the body’s natural shape. Excess skin, fat, and other tissues are removed from the targeted areas during a post-bariatric body lift to restore a flatter, tighter figure. Liposuction is often performed simultaneously to eliminate any stubborn fat deposits. Dr. Chapin will repair any underlying musculature that may be damaged by utilizing internal sutures. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and realigned as needed before closing the incisions with sutures or surgical adhesive tape, applying the final dressings.

Comprehensive Care, Superior Results

Dr. Scott D. Chapin is a highly specialized, board-certified plastic surgeon in the Philadelphia area with advanced training in breast and aesthetic surgery. His extensive experience and expertise in the aesthetics industry deliver superior results that help patients achieve their aesthetic goals.

Post-Bariatric Body Lift Recovery

It is common for post-bariatric body lift patients to experience swelling, bruising, tenderness, discomfort, or pain in areas where skin and fat have been removed. Ice packs and oral pain medication will help relieve discomfort during the initial recovery period, and these effects will taper naturally during the healing process. Anyone undergoing post-bariatric body lift should plan to take about two weeks off from work or other typical daily routines. During this time, it is crucial to avoid any strenuous activity and to get plenty of rest.

Dr. Chapin will provide complete preoperative and postoperative care instructions, as well as monitor patients and advise them on the best timing for resuming exercise and other daily activities. Results are best maintained by sticking to a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, so as to maintain a stable weight. Patients who expect their weight to fluctuate in the future should wait until it stabilizes before getting a post-bariatric body lift.
