There is not any doubt that bariatric surgery procedures, along with specific lifestyle changes, brings impressive weight loss results. A patient undergoing gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery loses 50-60% of the excess weight post-surgery! While <a href=\"https:\/\/mohakbariatrics.in\/bariatric-surgery\/\">bariatric surgery<\/a> works wonders for your body- there is one more side to it. We can\u2019t call it a side-effect, but a drastic change in body weight naturally leads to changes in your skin.<\/p>\n<p>When the body gains weight- the skin stretches to provide space to the additional fat tissues that accumulate. Since there is a drastic weight loss post-surgery, the skin cannot adapt to such a change, and It remains hanging in the areas where primarily fat tissues were accommodated. But if there is a will, there is a way. It does not mean you have to live with loose skin. Let\u2019s understand it better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight-Loss Surgery and Loose Skin: Cause<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your skin is a highly flexible and adaptable organ, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. In case of any growth in the body, whether by weight gain, pregnancy, muscle gain, or a growth-your skin stretches to accommodate additional tissues.<\/p>\n<p>Since obese people hold on to this weight throughout their adult life- the collagen and elastin in the skin are damaged. Hindering it to go back to normal. When the weight is lost- the damaged skin does not retract, and then it simply hangs.<\/p>\n<p>Though the amount of loose skin depends on factors such as age, genetics, smoking, amount of weight lost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can you tighten the skin?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou don\u2019t have to live with the skin hanging around. After your weight loss surgery, you can go for either of these options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Body contouring is one of the best options. It focuses on generally these areas- abdomen, breast, neck, thighs, upper arms. I thought this isn\u2019t the only option since various surgeries are done on people who have lost drastic weight. Velashape is also one of the medical treatments.<\/li>\n<li>When you build muscle mass, it helps in additional tissue growth- and \u201cfilling in.\u201d A great way to avoid surgery is to practice resistance exercises. Like bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, weightlifting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You deserve a more agile, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle- one that\u2019s free of any such crisis.
