Reconstructive Surgery
While plastic surgery after weight loss has become extremely popular, the truth is it’s not really a matter of patients wanting surgery after significant weight loss – most people actually need it.

Because the skin stretches to accommodate extra weight, it loses its elasticity and tone and typically becomes extremely loose after the rapid weight loss that accompanies bariatric surgery. The extra skin usually sags and can affect patients’ mobility, predispose them to skin rashes or infections, and keep them from fully appreciating their weight loss success.

That’s why Mount Carmel West offers a variety of reconstructive surgical options for our bariatric patients. We want you to be both healthy and happy after your weight loss.

There are as many reasons to choose Mount Carmel West for your bariatric reconstructive surgery as there are to have the surgery in the first place. But chief among them is the surgical team. At Mount Carmel, our surgeons are not only experienced and respected, they’re specialists, so you know you’ll have a doctor you can trust. And if you had your bariatric surgery at Mount Carmel West, the surroundings will be comfortable and the procedures familiar. In fact, you’ll probably be on the very same floor when you continue your weight-loss journey with us.

While we hope you’ll choose Mount Carmel West for your bariatric reconstructive procedure, the most important thing to us is that you select a surgeon who is experienced and with whom you feel comfortable. If you’d like to get more comfortable with our surgeons, please plan to attend one of our educational sessions or schedule a personal consultation by calling 614-234-LIFE.
