What is Massive Weight Loss?
Obesity is considered an epidemic disease of the modern Western world, and its rates in various developed countries can exceed 30%. In addition to the aesthetic and functional effects of obesity, hypertension and diabetes may appear at a younger age.
To address this epidemic, a new category of surgeries has emerged called bariatric surgery. It includes procedures that reduce stomach size, bypass parts of the intestine, or both, to increase the feeling of fullness and decrease absorption of nutrients. These procedures make it possible to lose significant weight in a short period while maintaining a stable reduced weight for many years. It is worth noting that similar results can sometimes be achieved through dietary support and lifestyle changes, as well as with medications that promise significant help in weight loss.
Patients with massive weight loss exhibit skin laxity in many areas of the body, which affects comfort, mobility, and self-confidence. To address this, extensive surgical procedures called dermolipectomies are required. This has created a whole separate category of procedures called post-bariatric surgery or surgery after massive weight loss.
Each treatment plan is individualized to meet the unique needs and goals of the patient, offering both physical and psychological benefits as the final step in the weight loss journey.
