NYC Post-Bariatric Surgery
Serving New York City, Manhattan & Westchester, NY

As massive weight loss surgery increases in popularity, so have the number of patients seeking NYC plastic surgery after massive losses in weight. Patients who have lost massive amounts of weight often require a series of operations to deal with their excess skin and fat in various anatomic areas. Whether it is from dieting or bariatric surgery, excess skin after massive weight loss is problematic for many reasons. The excess skin is easily irritated and difficult to hide in clothing. For many patients, the hope of being able to finally fit into normal clothing is on hold until the hanging skin and fat has been removed. Increasingly, post-bariatric weight loss patients are turning to body contouring surgery to help reshape and re-contour their skin envelope.

During your consultation, Dr. Greenwald will carefully examine you. He will take a detailed history from you. For best results from body contouring surgery, your weight should be relatively stable for at least three months. During your consultation, you will point out the areas of your body that concern you most. If there is more than one area of concern, Dr. Greenwald will have you prioritize the areas. Once Dr. Greenwald is aware of which areas bother you the most and the least, a surgical plan will be formulated. Dr. Greenwald understands that a comprehensive, staged approach must be taken to post-bariatric weight loss surgery patients. If tissue is removed from only certain areas of the body, it will result in an asymmetric correction of the body (ie removing hanging tissue form the abdomen and not addressing redundant skin of the buttocks). Often this plan consists of more than one surgery. Often some combination of a lower body lift, thigh lift, brachioplasty (ie arm reduction surgery) and breast surgery are required to recontour the body of a massive weight loss patients. Dr. Greenwald is available for consultation at his New York City and White Plains offices.

In addition to being a NYC post-bariatric surgeon, Dr. Greenwald has also helped many New York City tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, SmartLipo and lower body lift patients.
