For removal of subcutaneous tissue and excess layers of skin after successful bariatric surgery and weight loss, a plastic surgeon may suggest the patient follow up with panniculectomy. Panniculectomy before and after photos will show the potential benefits of the procedure. Although it is not a cosmetic miracle, the surgery can eliminate the trapping of moisture in the folds of skin that can cause uncomfortable rashes and create a breeding ground for infections. Of course, body odor can be a big problem that can ultimately make people consider that obesity is actually better, regardless of the health issues. However, the procedure can remove the final barrier to ultimate health and wellness. Exercise will be much easier, clothes will frame a slimmer individual, and potential health problems associated with loose fitting skin will be a problem of the past.
