What are the risks and benefits of abdominoplasty after bariatric surgery?

Dear Harish ji,

It's great to hear that your bariatric surgery went well. However, loose hanging skin after major weight loss is quite common and can lead to significant discomfort—just like you're experiencing with back pain and leg fatigue.

Why Loose Skin Causes Discomfort

• Excess abdominal skin affects posture and body balance

• It puts strain on your lower back and leg muscles, causing fatigue and pain

• Skin folds can lead to rashes, irritation, or infections

Treatment Options

• Non-surgical: Physiotherapy, posture correction, and core-strengthening exercises may offer mild relief

• Surgical: Body contouring procedures like abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) help remove excess skin and relieve physical strain
