As weight loss surgeries are increasing so do surgeries for excess hanging skin

New information from The American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASAP) data has indicated, weight reduction surgeries have been on demand, so have procedures like tummy tucks, bosom lifts, thigh lifts and upper arm lifts, which are normally connected with noteworthy weight loss.

There has been exponential growth in multiple procedures, especially hanging skin, which is a result of extreme weight loss. Private- practice surgeons from New York are realizing that this is necessary for some patients

There has been wide range of cosmetic and constructive surgeries performed by board certified surgeons in the US since the year 2000 with the gathered information through the mailed questionnaires. The 2014 report suggested that there have been a 1.7 million estimated cosmetic surgery performed and has been a slight increase from the 2013 and reduced from 2000. However one of the top Procedures that have been very popular was breast augmentation since the year 2006.

Since 2013, procedures like breast lifts were 3 percent and 75 percent were since 2000. The overall performed surgeries in 2014 were an estimated 92,724. Moreover, the procedures have increased by 10 percent since 2013 and were experience among the people who had massive weight loss. Between 2013 and 2014 thigh lifts and tummy tuck procedures have been increased by 5 percent and 70 percent since the year 2000.

In 2014, 16,000 were upper arm lifts compared to about 300 in 2000 and has increased by more than 4,000 percent over the 14-year period. These procedures continued all up specifically after massive weight loss as well.

As indicated by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, there were about 180,000 weight reduction surgeries in the U.S. in 2013.
In order to better understand bariatric or other weight loss surgeries, It is very important that patients go for consultation about weight loss surgery procedures.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have indicated that over the past decade, Bariatric surgery is one of the most common procedures.
Some patients have excessive loose skin after their weight loss and require plastic surgery procedures in two years after the initial surgery to remove the excess skin. Almost one in five patients who had surgery will require body contouring.

Weight loss is complete before assessing whether a patient is a good candidate for skin removal procedures, and then only performing one at a time. Procedures can have some risks and these can add up to multiple procedures at the same time.

At present, most bariatric surgeries are covered by the insurance and it only covers half of the post weight loss body contouring procedures.
Most patients are not able to afford the body contouring procedures out of their pocket. The price range varies generally by the region and the providers and can cost up to $20,000 per procedure in most areas such as New York and Beverly Hills.

It's unfortunate for some patients have to deal with the other issues after their tremendous weight loss. Hanging or excess skin can lead a formerly obese person to live with other body image issues.

Researchers concluded, Patients who are able to afford and get body contouring after their weigh lost are the happiest and successful people in their practice. Therefore patients pursuing weight loss surgery and body contouring should make sure they consult a board certified plastic surgeon at an accredited facility
