The life of an obese person comes with many limitations and loads of health risks. Many people feel as if they are trapped, yet somehow cushioned from the world. It takes a lot of courage and strength to step out of that confinement and make that radical change. Comfort gained from overeating is temporary, the discomfort and guilt that results are constant.
Typically, a healthy diet, increased movement, and determination are all it takes to drop the weight. But in those cases where the person is morbidly obese, and the situation is life-threatening, bariatric surgery is the best solution. Just like a woman who carries a baby for nine months, this means rapid weight loss and the likelihood you will experience loose saggy skin.
After massive weight loss, health status and quality of life are generally much improved, yet many patients still feel trapped in an obese body. Depending on how much fat was depleted and the age of the person, there is usually a significant amount of loose, extra skin. This is also common after pregnancy.
There is more elasticity in certain areas that may retain some firmness. Other areas where the skin was stretched beyond repair, or spots that stored large fat deposits will present the most sagging. Body contouring surgery in Tampa and Wesley Chapel, FL will remove loose abdominal skin and tighten the muscles to reshape your abdomen.
For those individuals with stubborn fat pockets that are unresponsive to diet and exercise, contouring with liposuction is an effective solution. Resistant fat usually settles in the love handles and mid-section in men, and in women, it accumulates in the waist, midsection and both the inner and outer thigh areas.
Body Contouring in Tampa and Wesley Chapel with liposuction will improve your appearance by removing pockets of stubborn fat. If loose skin is the biggest concern, particularly in the arms or thighs, the standard procedures are arm or thigh lift.
