Do patients require plastic surgery due to weight loss following the LAP-BAND® System procedure?
Significant weight loss may sometimes require follow-up plastic surgery to remove excess skin folds. As a rule, plastic surgery should not be considered for at least a year or two after the operation since sometimes the skin will mold itself around the new body tissue. We counsel our LAP-BAND® System patients to give the skin the time it needs to adjust and to discuss their appearance concerns with us.
