Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán — Post-Bariatric

What Is Post-Bariatric Body Contouring Surgery?

After losing a large amount of weight, whether through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, the skin often ends up with excess that doesn't retract on its own. Post-bariatric surgery removes that excess skin and tightens the body's contour.

Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán works mainly on two areas in this group of procedures: the arms and the breasts, each with its own specific procedure depending on where the excess skin is concentrated.

How Is the Right Procedure Decided?

The process starts with a consultation where Dr. Manuel Díaz Guzmán evaluates where excess skin is concentrated on your body after weight loss, and determines whether you need an arm lift, a breast lift, or a combination staged over several surgeries.

Before any surgery, a complete preoperative evaluation is done, which for post-bariatric patients includes reviewing your nutritional status. The medical results determine whether you're in condition to safely undergo surgery.
