Massive Weightloss/
Post-Bariatric Surgery Pretoria

The human skin can shrink dramatically when we are young due to the presence of larger amounts of elastin. People unfortunately loose this capability over time and with a large amount of weight loss (typically following gastric bypass surgery) the skin that was overstretched does not shrink as much after 6 months of stable weight. Surgical procedures are tailored to the patients main area(s) of concern such as apronectomy.
