After Weight Loss Surgery
After Weight Loss Surgery In Reno, NV
Losing a significant amount of weight (around 100 pounds) with either bariatric surgery or other methods is a huge accomplishment that should be enjoyed. Unfortunately, the skin doesn’t always shrink along with your weight, leaving you with excess, sagging skin that can hide your hard-earned results. Patients in Reno, Nevada can complete their new look with after weight loss surgery at Charles P. Virden, MD. Dr. Charles Virden, board-certified plastic surgeon, offers several different techniques to help remove extra skin, fat, and tissue for sculpted, lean body contours. Dr. Virden will create a unique treatment plan for every patient based on their concerns, needs, and goals. Some patients may only need 1 – 2 areas treated, while other may need an upper, lower, or a full body lift. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Virden to learn more about revealing your new curves with body contouring surgery.

“Love walking in there after months and saying hello to all the staff. I met Cat for the first time and it was great to talk with another wonderful staff member. Cat inserted my pellets and I didn’t feel a thing. Easy peezy. I was happy to see Michelle on my way out. Love the people in this office. Look forward to my next visit !!!”

WHAT TO EXPECT
Considering the extensive amount of skin to be removed, this surgery is performed at a local hospital or an accredited ambulatory surgical center with overnight stay capabilities. The plastic surgeon may also schedule the surgeries to occur 3 – 6 months apart to allow for healing, depending on the patient’s health and other medical conditions or to curtail excessive blood loss and limit the risk of infection.
ANTICIPATED RESULTS
Once cleared by the surgeon to perform regular physical activity, our patients report to having more mobility and range of motion when doing basic everyday activities. With all of the extra skin eliminated, they also report feeling dramatically different in their clothes and exude a higher self-confidence. Recovery time for each patient is different and it will depend on the nature and extent of the surgery performed, as well as the combination of surgeries. Our plastic surgeon does our best to educate each patient on the procedures and how to care for their body after surgery.
