Timing:
Body contouring procedures are an option to be considered by patients once stable weight has been achieved. Our practice recommends waiting for 12 – 18 months after bariatric surgery. Most patients have achieved a stable weight by this time. Body contouring procedures offer best results if this rule is followed.
Procedures:
Abdominoplasty, simple
Belt lipectomy
Lower body lift
Breast augmentation
Mastopexy
Brachiplasty
Thigh lift
Other cosmetic procedures
At this time we have the capability to perform Abdominoplasty and Belt lipectomy through our practice. We hope to be able to offer the full range of services through our practice relationships with plastic surgeons in the future.
Insurance:
Insurance very rarely covers Abdominoplasty and almost never covers any other body contouring procedures. |
