Post-Bariatric FAQs
Will insurance help?
Purely cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. Functional concerns (rashes, infections, hygiene problems) may qualify for partial coverage—our team can help you navigate requirements.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on which areas you treat and whether surgery is staged. You’ll receive a detailed quote and financing options after consultation.
When should I schedule?
Once you’re at or near your goal weight and stable for several months. We’ll coordinate timing with your bariatric provider if needed.
How long is recovery?
Most people take days to ~2 weeks off work; avoid strenuous activity ~6 weeks. A single combined session means one recovery period.
