What is Post Bariatric Surgery ?

What Is A Post-Bariatric Surgery?

People who deal with overweight problems try to lose weight in traditional ways before considering surgery. When they decide that these methods are useless for their situation, they consult a doctor. If they are good candidates for bariatric surgery, they undergo an operation to fix their metabolism.

People who have bariatric surgery start to lose weight immediately after the surgery. Every individual has a different pace of losing weight, but eventually, they lose weight in 1 to 3 years. The need for post-bariatric surgery shows up here. People who lose almost half of their body weight in time need to remove their excess skin from their bodies. Plastic surgeons do that for them with post-bariatric surgeries.

How Much is a Post-Bariatric Surgery in Turkey?

Turkey has 81 cities in total and, 30 of them are considered a metropolis. Surgeons perform post-bariatric surgeries in many of these big cities. The price range varies depending on the cities, the surgeons, and the health facilities.

What determines the cost of a post-bariatric surgery is firstly the surgeon. Secondly, the type of surgery is a principal factor that changes the price. Post-bariatric surgeries consist of different skin tightening operations.

After the first medical examination of the patients, the surgeons decide what kind of surgeries they need to perform to fix the situation of the patients. Once they decide on the type of surgery, the price will be clear.

Sometimes a surgeon may do more than one surgery on a patient. Surgeons may plan an arm lift surgery together with a tummy-tuck and neck lift. Or, a thigh lift surgery may be necessary as much as the other skin tightening operations.

The average price of a post-bariatric surgery is $3500 US.

Does Insurance Coverage Apply to Post-Bariatric Surgery?

Post-bariatric surgeries are considered aesthetic surgeries, and insurance doesn't cover these surgeries.

Are there any risks or side effects of Post-Bariatric Surgery?

How Painful Is A Post-Bariatric Surgery?

Patients undergo general anesthesia during the surgery. Because they are unconscious, they don't feel pain.

What Parts Of The Body Can Post-Bariatric Surgery Treat?

Post-bariatric surgeries can treat many parts of the body. After losing massive weight, patients need to fix their bodies. Surgeons help them treat their bodies by removing the excess skin and lifting the distorted areas of their bodies. These combined or solo surgeries include face and neck lift, thigh lift, arm lift, abdominoplasty, breast lift, and hip lift.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Post-Bariatric Surgery?

Patients who have completed losing weight after the bariatric surgery are good candidates for post-bariatric surgery. The ideal candidates should be maintaining their healthy weight for six months at least.

How long does it take to recover from bariatric surgery?

Depending on the number of surgeries, recovery can take up to two weeks. Every individual has a different timeline of recovery. Even so, a patient who underwent post-bariatric surgery needs time to heal and has to stay at home for a couple of weeks.

If the surgeon doesn't perform all of the necessary surgeries at once and does the surgeries separately, each surgery will require a different recovery period.

What To Expect After Post-Bariatric Surgery?

Patients' satisfaction rate is high after having a post-bariatric surgery. They boost self-confidence after the post-bariatric surgery fixes their bodies.
