Post-Weight Loss Surgery
At North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center, we want our patients to have a speedy recovery after their weight-loss procedure. To achieve this, we work alongside our patients to create an individualized post-operation plan. By closely following their doctor’s recommendations, patients can minimize discomfort and quickly start enjoying their new body.
What Is Weight Loss Surgery?
Surgical weight loss procedures can help overweight or insecure patients achieve their dream body. Besides boosting confidence and quality of life, weight-loss surgeries can also eliminate previous health conditions. Health issues caused by obesity or fluctuating weight may become more manageable or disappear entirely after weight-loss surgery is performed.
Body Countering
After your weight-loss surgery, you may find that unwanted or excess skin is left behind. With body countering, patients can have their skin tightened and smoothed to fit their new form. By removing sagging skin, patients can achieve a more proportional appearance.
Dr. David Mateo de Acosta specializes in a variety of body countering techniques designed to increase patient self-confidence. From sagging arms to dreaded “muffin-tops,” Dr. David Mateo de Acosta can target and eradicate unwanted body fat with arm lift, thigh lift, and tummy tuck procedures.
Recovery Process
After weight-loss surgery, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to ensure safe healing. At home, patients should closely follow their treatment plan. It is recommended that post-operation patients drink plenty of water and only consume liquified or puréed foods for up to two to three weeks. Soft foods should slowly be added to the patient’s diet over time to avoid nausea or pain while eating. Prescribed vitamins and minerals should also be taken regularly, as per Dr. David Mateo de Acosta’s orders.
Liposuction and other surgical weight loss solutions are not permanent. Because of this, it is important to maintain your current body weight after receiving weight loss surgery. In your personal schedule, try to fit in balanced meals and daily exercise. North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center can help you create a manageable lifestyle plan that prioritizes physical health, fitness, and holistic wellbeing.
