Post-Bariatric Belt Lipectomy (Body Lift)
If you have excess skin in equal amounts around your abdomen, back, and hips, you can opt for a belt lipectomy. Dr. Moeinolmolki a bariatric surgery expert in Los Angeles, performs this procedure by making an incision that extends around the abdomen, at about the same height where you typically wear your belt. In some cases, an additional incision is made down the belly’s front to the groin area. In most cases, the patient can go home on the day of his/her abdominal skin tightening surgery. At the end of the surgery, Dr. Moeinolmolki places two drainage tubes at the site of the incision. And within seven to ten days, Dr. Moeinolmolki removes the tubes and examines the progress of healing. The patient is also required to wear a binder around the abdomen for around six weeks in order to speed up recovery as well as to protect the sutures.
