AFTER SURGERY

After Weight Loss Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Patients are usually required to spend the night in the hospital so they can be monitored. The recovery following this surgery can be a slow process. While the post-surgical results can be life-changing for many weight loss patients, scarring is an unfortunate part of this process. Every attempt is made during surgery to minimize scarring as much as possible. Patients should adhere to a healthy lifestyle so that the results achieved through surgery are not compromised.

FIRST 24 HOURS:

The first 24 hours after surgery are the most difficult part of the recovery process. Knowing what to expect can ensure a stress- free recuperation.
Moderate discomfort and tenderness
Headache
Swelling at surgical site
Temporary bruising

After Weight Loss Surgery PROCEDURE REVIEWS

After my granddaughter asked me if I was having a baby like her aunt, I started seriously looking at liposuction.  I'm on the thin side and have tried diet and exercise to remove the bulge around my middle.  I researched other facilities and options and found that none of them would give me the results I wanted.  Dr. Marvin Spann was brought to my attention by his wife, Dr. Candace Spann, who I was seeing for yearly skin cancer screenings.  Dr. Marvin Spann did a wonderful job on my liposuction, and a year later, I'm even happier with the results!  These are both dedicated, professional, competent and caring doctors who want to make sure that their patients receive the best care.  I travel from Henderson to see them because they are the best!

 You can tell you are in exceptional hands the moment you walk through the door. The office is beautifully appointed! The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Ashley, who along with Dr. Spann, answered all of my questions, before, during and after my surgery. Dr. Spann explained the procedures and even why he was making certain choices for me! There is no arguing with the results! LOVE my body! http://www.couturemedical.com/photo-gallery/ http://www.couturemedical.com/photo-gallery/ http://www.couturemedical.com/photo-gallery/

I had abdominal liposuction performed on me by Dr. Marvin Spann. I am so pleased with the results. I look fantastic. He took the time with me to consult me properly, giving me the pros and cons if I added any additional procedures. His staff was friendly and kind and they took the time to make sure I was taken care of during post-op. Dr. Spann is a perfectionist with his work so he will make sure you will get the best results in the safest way

Life Changing Experience - Dr. Marvin Spann is the best plastic surgeon! After 3 children my body was never the same. I struggled with weight loss. I was very unhappy with my body and hated mirrors. After my liposuction my life changed. I am a completely different woman. I am happy and confident. I stand in front of the mirror and admire the woman I see. I feel amazing in anything and everything I wear. The staff at Couture are simply amazing. Dr. Spann is professional and kind. The procedure was explained in detail and I felt comfortable through the entire process. The liposuction results exceeded my expectations. Thank you Dr. Marvin and all the Couture Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Staff!!!!!

Dr. Spann did my liposuction on stubborn, exercise and diet-resistant areas on my stomach and flanks. I'm so happy with my new body. After years of struggling, now in my mid 40's and after 3 pregnancies, I have the body I always knew was possible.

I’m about 5months post lipo and fat transfer. I’m so happy with my results, after trying to be consistent at the gym and not seeing results I wanted I finally decided to see Dr. Marvin Span. Very professional, healing process was much better then expected, minimal pain, scarring looks great and I still look natural which was my request and he meet my standards. Thank you for the confidence and thank you to the staff for being so helpful, highly recommend.

Am I a good candidate for After Weight Loss Surgery?

Candidate for breast augmentation should ideally be nonsmokers in good overall health. They should stick to a healhy diet and exercise routine because they might help them recover.
A consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will help you assess your candidacy based on your circumstances and goals.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common body parts that may need skin reduction surgery include the abdomen, buttocks, upper thighs, breasts, arms and neck. The breasts and abdomen are among two of the most popular areas addressed. A large majority of individuals will address the breasts (with a breast lift), and the tummy (with a tummy tuck) in a single surgery. As you lose weight, you will notice which areas are most concerning, and you can begin discussing cosmetic surgery with your plastic surgeon.
Most plastic surgeons require patients to be at or near their goal weight before moving forward with this surgery. However, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, removing the loose skin is all it takes to accelerate the loss of the final pounds—especially if the loose skin is getting in the way of exercise and mobility.
In most cases, no. Insurance companies consider this surgery to be cosmetic, and they usually do not cover any of the surgical expenses. However, each surgical case is different and may have a special circumstance. At Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, our billing coordinator works to provide accurate estimates and thoroughly checks the benefits of each provider.
