Post-Bariatric Surgery

WEBVTT 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.220 Patients with extremely high body mass index are 00:00:09.245 --> 00:00:16.780 candidates to do a bariatric procedure, like a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass. 00:00:16.805 --> 00:00:21.060 After doing that procedure, the patient loses a lot of weight. 00:00:21.085 --> 00:00:28.360 Then is, when the patient has a lot of excess of skin and by removing 00:00:28.385 --> 00:00:34.340 that skin gives a much better definition in the body shape. 00:00:34.365 --> 00:00:40.060 That procedures are called the post bariatric plastic surgery. 00:00:40.085 --> 00:00:47.260 We remove all that excess of skin trying to achieve a new body shape for them, and, 00:00:47.285 --> 00:00:53.140 that's going to improve not only the body shape but also their self-esteem. 00:00:53.165 --> 00:00:59.300 It looks maybe similar procedure like a mummy makeover but are more extended 00:00:59.325 --> 00:01:04.280 procedures than a mummy makeover and covers more areas in 00:01:04.305 --> 00:01:09.980 the body like the arm, the thighs, the upper back, and so on. 00:01:10.005 --> 00:01:13.600 So it's different procedures that takes more time and maybe 00:01:13.625 --> 00:01:21.320 needs more stages to recover or to gain a good body shape.
