Will I need plastic surgery for the excess skin when I have lost a lot of weight?
Excess skin after lap band or other weight loss surgery does not always require plastic surgery. With the Lap Band weight loss surgery, your weight-loss is healthy and gradual so it allows your skin to react more positively to the changes in your body. As a rule, plastic surgery should not be considered for at least a year or two after the operation since sometimes the skin will mold itself around the new body tissue. Give the skin the time it needs to adjust before you decide to have more surgery.
