DENVER, CO, March 09, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Every year millions of Americans resolve to get in shape and lose weight on a daily basis. But for the 34 percent of the American population that is considered obese, dramatic weight loss - whether lost through diet and exercise, a nutrition program or weight loss surgery - results in an excess of loose, sagging skin. For those who have lost a significant amount of weight, the excess loose skin can detract from their weight loss achievements and will have many turning to post weight loss plastic surgery.
"The skin and underlying fat layer between the muscle and the skin expands and fills. After massive weight loss the skin remains lax. This is similar to laxity seen when a balloon is filled to capacity and then emptied of air. The overall shape remains loose." Body contouring is often an excellent option for someone who is close to their goal weight and wants to fine-tune their body shape," said Denver plastic surgeon, Dr. Nick Slenkovich.
A board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Nick Slenkovich specializes in body contouring procedures after weight loss. Throughout March, he will be a featured guest speaker at bariatric and weight loss support groups throughout the metro Denver area where he will provide insightful information for people who are just starting to plan their weight loss journey, as well as those who've already lost the weight and are now looking for a solution to rejuvenate their body shape and fully reveal their achievement. Dr. Slenkovich will be presenting:
- 7-8 pm, March 8 at Skyridge Medical Center ,
- 7:30-8pm, March 12 at Swedish Medical Center,
- 7-8pm, March 21 at North Suburban Medical Center.
