After the Fat: Rise in Post Weight-Loss Surgery
New Data from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
NEW YORK, NY (March 11, 2004) - Plastic surgeons say that post bariatric body
contouring is an area of cosmetic surgery that is set to virtually explode
over the next decade. With nearly one-third of U.S. adults obese and another
third overweight, many are turning to bariatric surgery to lose pounds. But
after the fat is gone, these patients are faced with the problem of loose,
hanging skin - and lots of it. Today, more people than ever are turning to
plastic surgery for help.

According to 2003 Cosmetic Surgery Statistics from the American Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), there were significant increases in the
numbers of post weight-loss procedures performed last year. For example, lower
body lifts - probably the most extensive of all body contouring procedures - increased
by 127 percent to nearly 11,000 procedures. Upper arm lifts increased 68 percent,
buttock lifts increased 70 percent, and tummy tucks increased 42 percent.
That's why ASAPS, the world's leader in aesthetic surgery Continuing Medical
Education (CME), has devoted a half-day at is upcoming Annual Meeting (April
16-21, Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada ) to "Cosmetic Rehabilitation
of the Post-Bariatric Patient."
"This is challenging surgery that requires appropriate training and the utmost
skill," says ASAPS President Robert Bernard, MD. "As more plastic surgeons
are called upon to assist patients after massive weight loss, we expect to
see the number of these operations increase steadily," says the White Plains
, NY plastic surgeon.
