Have you recently lost a lot of weight, such as through devices like Ozempic or gastric bypass? If so, you may be suffering from excess skin, sagging muscles or an altered body shape. This can make it difficult to be happy with your new body, despite the major weight loss. At Essenza Clinics, we are here to help you with this.
What happens after significant weight loss?
While losing a large amount of weight is a huge accomplishment, it can also bring new challenges. Excess skin on your arms, legs, abdomen or breasts has a disfiguring effect and can even lead to physical discomfort, such as blemishes. In addition, the shape of your body after weight loss may be different from what you are used to because the distribution of fat and muscle has changed.
Surgical solutions after weight loss
Surgery is the fastest and most effective way to get rid of excess skin. During a tummy tuck, thigh elevator and/or breast elevator, excess skin is removed to restore your body contours. With each of these treatments, you go under full anesthesia and need 1 to 2 weeks to recover. After that, you’ll see the difference immediately. Results continue to improve for up to 1 year after surgery.
Reimbursement through your health insurance company
Surgical procedures are not routinely reimbursed by health insurance companies. In specific cases (depending on insurer, coverage and medical indication) the procedure is (partially) reimbursed. Are you curious how this works in your case? We can help you with an application with your health insurance company, if you meet the right criteria.
Why choose Essenza Clinics?
The surgeons at Essenza specialize in treating patients with significant weight loss. For example, patients with a gastric bypass in their history need special preparation to reduce the risk of complications. This is where we can offer guidance, in collaboration with the expert specialists at Weightworks.
In addition to this personal approach, your safety is of course paramount. Our experienced surgeons always perform major procedures together, which ensures a much shorter operating time. In this way, we reduce the risk of complications such as wound infections, post-operative bleeding and pulmonary embolisms.
Look in the mirror with pleasure
At Essenza, you are our focus. We understand that everyone is unique and therefore always go for customization. So, are you ready to look in the mirror with pride and joy again? Contact us for a free consultation and let us help you achieve your dream body!
