Dr. Loren Borud on the Description of Body Contouring Procedure

In 2009, CineMed published the “Atlas of Body Contouring after Massive Weight Loss” – the book where Dr. Loren Borud served as the Editor-in-Chief. This was in fact one of the major contributions of Dr Borud in the promotion of the new, more effective, and much safer methods for body contouring procedures. As one of the pioneering cosmetic surgeons for modern weight loss solutions, Dr Borud has become the most trusted surgeon in the US. A simple proof for that fact is his record of more than 52,000 post-gastric bypass body contouring procedures successfully handled.

People who are planning to undergo a weight loss surgery to get rid of large amount of fat deposits are advised to know first the importance and some other basic details about body contouring. Basically, this procedure is necessary for obese people who had just undergone a drastic weight loss. The human skin is elastic to adjust with the increase in body fat. However, it loses its elasticity as the body absorbs large amount of fat deposits and holds them for a long period of time. This explains why obese people who successfully lost very large quantity of weight appear to have loose, floppy, and overhanging skin in different parts of their body.

In its simplest essence, a body contouring procedure can get rid of the problem with the overhanging skin after a drastic weight loss. It comes in several forms and techniques but most of these primarily involve extraction of skin fat and tissues. According to Dr. Loren Borud, ignoring the presence of excessive skin in any part of the body can cause some problems aside from the fact that it brings an unpleasant appearance to a person. Most people with overhanging skin suffer from rashes and scratches caused by the rubbing of the extra skin into the other. Rashes can also be caused by the retained moisture in the skin surface covered by the overhanging skin.

In a statistical study made by Dr. Loren Borud, people who had body contouring procedure under him achieved an overall better quality of life. Many of them have remarked that they have become more capable of doing tasks that they can’t do before. They also testify that having a lighter weight without excessive skin has made them feel more comfortable in doing their daily activities. There are also some patients saying that the procedure has helped them improve their mood and emotion control. Thus, it can be said that body contouring has a number of benefits other than providing better looks to a person.
