Lap Band is a type of bariatric surgery used for weight loss. As a plastic surgeon, I am concerned with the aesthetic aspect of the body. While Lap Band can lead to weight loss, it does not directly address the aesthetic concerns that are typically the focus of my practice.

In plastic surgery, we focus on procedures such as breast augmentation, facelifts, tummy tucks, and liposuction, which aim to enhance or restore the appearance of specific body areas. These procedures are often sought by individuals who desire to improve their physical appearance and self-confidence.

However, it's important to note that plastic surgery is not intended as a primary solution for weight loss. In cases of significant obesity, it's typically advisable to explore other weight loss methods, such as diet, exercise, and medical management, under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.

That being said, if an individual undergoes Lap Band surgery and achieves significant weight loss, they may choose to pursue additional plastic surgery procedures to address any excess skin or tissue that remains. This can include body contouring surgeries like abdominoplasty or brachioplasty to improve the shape and contour of the body.

Ultimately, the decision to undergo Lap Band or any other surgical procedure should be made in consultation with a qualified medical professional. They can assess an individual's specific circumstances, goals, and overall health to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
