San Francisco Post Weight Loss Surgery

Although massive weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery) can help an individual meet some of his/her weight goals, excessive amounts of hanging skin may remain. This can create the need for excess skin removal surgery. Joseph A. Mele, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a San Francisco post weight loss surgery professional who can perform a combination of body contouring procedures to diminish the appearance of excess skin.

At Dr. Mele’s practice in Walnut Creek, patients may anticipate a comfortable and rewarding experience. He and his staff will be attentive to your needs, listen to your cosmetic surgery concerns, and individualize a plan that directly meets your desired goals.

Post Weight Loss Surgery

After bariatric surgery, even with diet and exercise, some people find themselves with loose, excess skin that is resistant to a regular healthy regimen. For these individuals, Dr. Mele may perform a combination of breast lift surgery (“mastopexy”), arm lift surgery (“brachioplasty”) tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”), and/or thigh lift surgery. He may also perform liposuction (“lipoplasty”) in order to remove excess fat deposits on specific areas of the body. Depending on your anatomy and cosmetic surgery goals, Dr. Mele will help to create a weight loss skin removal surgery that is right for you.

A premier plastic surgeon in California, Dr. Mele can perform weight loss skin removal on individuals who are in good health and have realistic expectations. You will find out if surgery after weight loss is right for you during an initial consultation.
