Advantages and Reduction of Risks: Bariatric Surgery, Slimming and Plastic Surgery

With the advent of bariatric surgery, the obese client began to have a new option of more humanized social life after the result of body weight loss. Evaluated by the Body Mass Index (BMI), the obese subject can present deformed body part, causing psychological problems capable of leading to depression and behavioral disorders. Surgical risks decrease in proportion as the weight/height ratio brings benefits to the patient before repair surgeries. More common are breast or abdomen exaggerations that increase the risks and number of corrective surgeries. The advantages are countless and result mainly in the considerable improvement of aspects of walking, clothing, work, interpersonal relationships, communication and physical and psychological well-being. We emphasize the advantages of weight loss by free will or through body relief surgeries before bariatric surgery. After gastric reduction, due to decreased feeding, we wait for the stabilization of the slimming for subsequent corrections of the deformed parts of the body.
