RoxBariatric Health & Lifestyle Program


The RoxBariatric program continues to grow with as the most recent five patients who underwent lap band procedures continue to loose weight. We are starting to see not only significant reduction in weight of these patients, but ancillary physical signs improve as well. Notably one patient has lost a significant amount of weight in his neck and no longer snores at night. Not only has this improved his sleep patterns, but also those of his spouse.

Bariatric patients often loose greater than 100 lbs of weight over the course of six months to one year post surgery. Not only do these patients desire body contouring surgery, but also rejuvenation of their face and neck. I have found that facelift and necklift techniques provide a significant change in the facial aesthetics and be quite rewarding to these patients.

Traditionally when body contouring and facelift procedures, our patients stay over one night at an aftercare facility where they are examined by a physician that evening and the next morning at the aftercare facility or at the office.
