Massive Weight Loss Surgery in Delhi

Obesity is a global disease with epidemic proportions. Bariatric surgery or modified lifestyles go a long way in mitigating the vast weight gain. Patients following these interventions usually undergo massive weight loss. This results in sagging tissues in various parts of the body. Loose skin causes increased morbidity including skin problems and psychological trauma. This demands various body contouring procedures that are usually excisional. Liposuction may be included at surgery, but as a sole modality of treatment, it often fails. These procedures are complex and part of a painstaking process that needs a committed patient and an industrious plastic surgeon.

Massive Weight Loss Surgery

Losing a large amount of weight can be a huge achievement. However, the journey doesn’t always end there. Many people, after losing massive weight, are left with loose, sagging skin. This makes them feel uncomfortable, limits movement, and affects self-confidence. 

This is where body contouring surgery after massive weight loss comes in. These are customised procedures which are designed to remove excess skin, tighten tissues, and reshape your body for a smoother, firmer look.

At Langersculpt, we help you achieve and help you feel comfortable, confident, and proud of the body you have worked so hard to achieve.
