If you’re considering body contouring in San Antonio, visit the skilled and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suresh Koneru.
The obesity epidemic across the United States means that more and more people are turning to bariatric – or weight loss – surgery, to lose large amounts of weight and lower their Body Mass Index (BMI). While bariatric surgery has enabled many individuals to meet their BMI goals and develop healthier lives, the resulting weight loss can often lead to an excess of slack skin. Skin and tissue that have been severely stretched is left unsupported, often lacking the elasticity to shrink back to the reduced body size.
With body contouring in San Antonio, Dr. Koneru can rearrange and excise this surplus tissue for both cosmetic and functional purposes. Aesthetically speaking, large surface areas of skin hanging off a conversely small frame could be considered just as unsightly as the taut surface of a morbidly obese individual. Body contouring can correct the cosmetic problems associated with massive weight loss such as:
Body contouring in San Antonio can also reduce the discomfort and practical difficulties of excess skin, such as frequent chafing, possible skin infections, and excessive irritation. It also improves hygiene, as moisture can be trapped between flaps of loose skin, creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria.
Body contouring after major weight loss improves the shape and tone of your underlying supportive tissue and removes excess sagging fat and skin. The result is a more normal body appearance with smoother contours. This is the final phase of your total weight loss experience.
Dr. Koneru also offers a number of other procedures in body contouring in San Antonio, including:
