You have achieved great things. You have lost weight, changed your life, fought through highs and lows. But what often remains is a shell: excess skin, excess tissue, friction, limitations – where your new self should actually be free.

The Weight Loss Surgery at BONITAS is more than just body contouring. It is the aesthetic and functional completion of a profound transformation. Specialist physician The Plastic Surgeon accompanies you with surgical expertise, a holistic view – and genuine respect for your achievement.

What is post-bariatric surgery?

Post-bariatric surgery includes plastic-surgical procedures for body contouring after massive weight loss – e.g., after gastric reduction, a gastric bypass, or through personal lifestyle changes.

The goal is to permanently eliminate excess skin, sagging tissue, and functional discomfort – for a body image that reflects your new life reality.

Who is eligible?

You are ready for post-bariatric surgery if:

  • you have lost at least 30 kg of weight
  • your weight has been stable for at least 6 months
  • your BMI is ideally < 30
  • you are healthy & psychologically stable
  • you want to complete your body now – not just visually, but also emotionally

Which body regions are treated?

Depending on the individual situation, several zones can be tightened, contoured, and harmonized:

Body Region Possible Procedures
Abdomen Abdominoplasty with muscle reconstruction
Breast (m/f) Breast lift, possibly with implant or gynecomastia surgery
Arms Arm lift
Legs Thigh lift
Back & Flanks Back lift, Body lift
Buttocks Buttock lift or autoaugmentation with autologous tissue

BONITAS offers tailor-made overall concepts that are medically sound and aesthetically coordinated – no standard surgeries, but true body composition.

Combination surgeries – possible & safe?

Yes – depending on health status, surgical region, and objectives. Common combinations:

  • Abdomen + Breast
  • Upper Arms + Thighs
  • Body lift (360° lift)

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Does Everything Have to be Done in one Surgery?

Not necessarily. Often, treatment occurs in 2–3 procedures, depending on the region, resilience, and desired result.

What Does Post-Bariatric Mean?

“Post-bariatric” refers to the state after massive weight reduction – usually as a result of bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Subsequently, excess skin often occurs on the abdomen, arms, thighs, or chest. Post-bariatric surgery includes targeted lifting procedures to restore form, function, and quality of life.

Which BMI is Ideal for Reconstructive Surgery after Weight Loss?

A BMI under 30 is generally a prerequisite for reconstructive surgery after massive weight loss. With a higher BMI, the risk of wound healing disorders and complications increases. It is also crucial that the weight has remained stable for at least 6 months. At BONITAS, we check in a personal consultation whether all prerequisites are met – medically and aesthetically.

How many Kg Does one Lose with an Abdominoplasty?

During an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), excess skin and subcutaneous tissue are removed – usually between 1 and 3 kilograms. However, the actual focus is not on weight reduction, but on the functional and aesthetic improvement of body contour. Many patients report increased mobility, better skin care, and enhanced self-esteem after the procedure.
