What Is After Weight Loss Surgery?
Individuals who undergo significant weight loss are to be commended for achieving such a wonderful milestone. Unfortunately, while their weight loss represents a huge accomplishment, sometimes they will face more frustrations. The new challenge is usually the stretched-out skin left behind on the body.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scot A. Martin offers after weight loss surgery for Las Cruces, NM patients at Martin Plastic Surgery. This is often a life-changing treatment and also serves as a final step in their weight loss journey.
How Is After Weight Loss Surgery Performed?
After weight loss surgery is almost always considered a major treatment. It is performed using general anesthesia and, on average, takes 3 – 7 hours, depending on the combination of procedures. For most patients, a hospital stay is necessary. Fat removal through liposuction or another method is usually incorporated during the procedure to remove pockets of fat, followed by skin removal. Surgical skin removal does require larger incisions than other cosmetic surgeries, so varying degrees of scarring will be a result of this treatment. However, every attempt is made by Dr. Martin to make the incisions as inconspicuous as possible. Additionally, we provide comprehensive scar-healing instructions in an effort to help reduce the scarring as much as possible. Even with scarring, many of our patients find the outcomes to be worth it.

Martin Plastic Surgery Reviews
Best Dr. Ever, recommended 10000 % he and his staff make you feel so comfortable and secure. Love my twins. đ
I can not express how much I love this surgeon and his staff. I had a breast lift and reduction done. I had 385cc implants from a previous surgery and exchanged them for 290cc, i reduced them by 100cc. My incisions are super thin like thread, very light. He only uses dissolvable stitches so no coming back to get anything taken off and no drains. The less tugging and pain the better! My nipples are beautiful, i was left with unattractive scars from a previous surgeon & dr Martin corrected them. I have perky, firm breast that fit my tiny frame. He knows exactly what your body is built for, he knows exactly how firm , how round or how much fullness needs to be up top. Iâm so happy. I just want to add that itâs not just the work that gets done, itâs the genuine care the staff and Dr Martin provide. They provide the reassurance you need the entire time. Theyâre readily available for any emergency or concern. Surgery is quick and painless. The anesthesiologist knows her stuff, sheâs good. Iâm tiny 105lbs 4â11, I always get so scared because Iâm so small but youâre in good hands. I had to go under twice because freak accident I did something to my left breast the first night, I had blood leaking which led to a small hematoma. The staff or Dr Martin didnât cease contact with me or disappear, consistently calling or texting me to advise me, brought me back in immediately and put me in immediate surgery. Cleaned me up and had a new implant put in. None of my work was compromised. They genuinely cared about my well being, if I was in any pain, about my concern for the scars. I felt taken care of and wasnât left anxious. I truly wish I had come to Dr Martin the first time I had breast implants put in. I made the mistake of going with a different surgeon and I paid the price financially, physically, mentally. 7 years later I corrected it. Do yourself the favor. Youâll be happy you had your surgery with Dr Martin. Donât worry youâre given good pain meds after the surgery so youâre not in pain. They actually work too. Nicole the RN in the office is a living gem. She will be with you till your last check up. Nothing is ridiculous or too small to ask. I live in Florida, traveled to las cruces so Dr Martin could do my surgery. I was actually sad to leave this office, wish they were in Florida! Good luck ladies! Book your surgery ASAP! you love your body â„ïž
