The patient with excessive body tissue, with some health alteration, is considered obese. Plastic surgery is indicated when these ex¬—obese patients (who have already stabilized their weight) lost many kilos through surgery or naturally and find themselves with alterations due to excess skin on the extremities (thighs, arms), buttocks, trunk, abdomen, chest. , breasts etc.
The incisions depend on the type of surgical treatment to be performed and whether combined surgeries are performed or not. Anesthesia is frequently general; these procedures must be performed in a clinic or hospital. The other recommendations are the same as those for other surgeries in non-ex-obese patients (see abdominoplasty, mammoplasty, etc.)
