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.
