Managing Excess Skin After Weight-Loss Surgery
Weight-loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, can significantly improve overall health and quality of life. However, it often leaves individuals with excess loose skin. This can be distressing, affecting both appearance and function. While there are surgical options to remove excess skin, many people turn to shapewear as a non-surgical solution.
Shapewear can provide a range of benefits for those managing excess skin after weight loss surgery and postsurgery recovery.
Here are the top five shapewear options to consider:
1. Fajas Body Shapers & Compression Garments
Colombian Faja body shapers, cinchers and bodysuit compression garments provide comprehensive coverage, supporting areas like the abdomen, tummy, thighs, and buttocks. They help contour the body, offering a smoother appearance under clothing. These garments can be especially beneficial for those who have excess skin in multiple areas.
They also improve circulation and reduce swelling, which is often a concern after weight loss surgery. Many people find them comfortable enough to wear daily.
