“In body contouring my aim is proportion, not excess; I create a natural, balanced line tailored to each body.”
Post-bariatric surgery is the set of body-contouring operations that repair the excess sagging skin remaining after massive weight loss from bariatric surgery or diet. The abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts and body line are reshaped individually or in a staged plan.
It is for people who have lost a great deal of weight through sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass or intensive dieting and have advanced skin sagging (an abdominal apron, loose arms/thighs, sagging breasts, back folds). The aim is both aesthetic and to relieve hygiene/fungal/chafing problems from loose skin.
It is planned once weight has been stable for at least 6 months and nutrition is corrected. Multiple areas may be combined in one session, or a staged approach (2–3 separate operations) may be preferred for safety.
General anaesthesia; duration varies with scope and stage
Procedure and Recovery
Operations are performed under general anaesthesia; extensive cases may need a few days in hospital. Drains and a compression garment support healing; 3–6 months is usually left between stages.
Istanbul stands out in body-contouring tourism with experienced plastic surgeons, accredited theatres and affordable pricing. All surgery is performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın.
Post-Bariatric Surgery — Frequently Asked Questions
It is advised once your weight has been stable for at least 6 months and your nutrition/vitamin levels are corrected; operating too early can compromise the result.
Some areas can be combined in one session; however, for safety and healing, extensive cases are usually split into 2–3 stages. The plan is decided individually at examination.
Because excess skin is removed, scars are unavoidable; they are placed along lines hidden by underwear/swimwear where possible and fade over time.
For extensive procedures, 1–2 weeks of rest and a gradual return to heavy activity at 4–6 weeks are typical. 3–6 months is left between stages.
The removed skin does not return, so results are lasting. Stable weight and a healthy lifestyle preserve the outcome.
It is done under general anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during surgery. Post-operative pain and tightness are controlled with painkillers.
It can take 6–12 months for swelling to settle and scars to mature; the final body contour emerges over that time.
As major surgery, seroma, bleeding, infection, delayed wound healing and scar issues are possible. Nutritional support, an experienced team and a staged plan reduce the risks.
People whose weight is not yet stable, with uncorrected nutrition/anaemia, uncontrolled chronic illness or who will not quit smoking should postpone.
The number of procedures, areas covered, number of stages, anaesthesia and hospital time determine the cost. Send photos and your weight history for a transparent, all-inclusive quote.
