Summer is coming, preceded by spring, a season where everything is renewed, restarts, blossoms again! Spring is a time of great revolution, fundamental in the path of nature and of every person. Spring is certainly the most fascinating season, but also that of the “showdown”: the mirror becomes a tyrant and we are looking for the right diet to deal with all the imperfections that appear to us, at this moment, inexorable and cruel. But as the saying goes “soon and well” they cannot coexist, as speed also creates other problems …

The weight loss patient with a strict diet, drugs and in some cases with bariatric surgery always presents considerable imperfections , the severity of which is in relation to the starting weight state, the time taken to lose weight and other factors such as age, elasticity of the skin and ligaments that support the structures.

Patients undergoing bariatric surgery who undergo a significant weight loss, once the balance is stabilized, have a reduced elasticity of the tissues caused by the descent of the excess skin now emptied of adipose tissue, especially in the case of significant weight loss obtained in time short, the fat mass disappears and the skin, which does not have the same path as fat, forms large unsightly and, at times, disabling folds, presenting excesses on the face, at the level of the abdomen, thighs, arms and breasts.
A great help for these patients is bariatric plastic surgery which allows these people to greatly improve their quality of life. 

Plastic surgery after bariatric surgery  is important precisely for the body remodeling that is obtained and allows, through sometimes long and demanding surgeries, the removal of portions of skin and subcutis, the reduction of excess tissue, thus improving the profile body of the patient in all affected areas.

The surgical techniques most used in post bariatric plastic surgery are abdominoplasty (which allows the abdominal region to be remodeled), reduction mammoplasty and mastoplexes (the operation of reduction and lifting of the breast that allows an improvement in the shape and volume of the breasts), brachioplasty (surgery that allows the remodeling of the upper limbs by removing excess skin and adipose tissue), lifting of the thighs (to eliminate excess skin and restore tone to the area of ​​the inner thighs) and, finally, the face lift.

It is always important to evaluate these interventions following a significant weight loss with the help of a competent and specialized cosmetic surgeon, recognized by trade associations such as SICPRE and AICPE . Consulting a good cosmetic surgeon is the basis for being able, eventually, to decide to face a post-bariatric plastic surgery course and harmoniously restore the morphofunctional balance of the body.
