What to Expect on the Day of Surgery After Massive Weight Loss
Post-weight-losss surgery can look different for each patient. Dr. Rokosz will design a personalized treatment plan that reflects your unique goals and concerns about your physique. She may perform an abdominoplasty, thigh lift, arm lift, breast lift, or liposuction to help you achieve your desired look. The primary aim is to remove the uncomfortable, bulky layer of excess skin left behind after you shed pounds. This will help achieve a clearly defined body shape, allowing for a better fit in clothing and greater confidence and self-esteem.
Combining multiple procedures into a single session helps to reduce overall risks, downtime, and costs. You will receive general anesthesia during your appointment to help you sleep deeply while Dr. Rokosz contours your figure. Incisions are always placed inconspicuously in areas where scarring will be least noticeable later. Once all changes have been completed, you will be placed in our recovery suite and carefully monitored until it is safe for you to go home, accompanied by a friend, family member, or responsible adult.
