Post Massive Weight Loss

Gastric bypass and other procedures to treat morbid obesity are becoming more and more common. Once these patients loose their weight, however, they are left with extra loose skin all over their bodies. Various combinations of body contouring surgery may then be used to remove this excess tissue. Most often, these procedures are staged over 1 to 3 operations. As each patient has very individual needs, candidates for operation should make a consultation with Dr. Wigod for further counseling. Insurance rarely covers body reduction surgery, so Mark D. Wigod, M.D., P.A. will not request or accept insurance payment.
