Abdominoplasty & Panniculectomy at RoxBariatric



The post-bariatric body contouring surgery program at the Roxbury Clinic & Surgery center continues to grow with more patients enrolling in post-bariatric body contouring procedures.

Patients present to our office and are very excited about having their body contouring procedures done at either the Newport Beach or Beverly Hills, CA surgery centers.

We encourage all patients who desire to have post-bariatric body contouring procedures to bring their insurance cards with them during their consultations. It is a great time to utilize health insurance plans to undergo lap band procedures. Typically after patients undergo their lap band operation they return for their post-bariatric body contouring surgery within 9 months to one year. Patients are very happy after having their panniculectomy and abdominoplasty surgeries and greatly look forward to having their mastopexy, breast reduction, brachioplasty, or medial thigh lift.

Performing post-bariatric plastic surgery is very gratifying for the patient and physician.

Rox Bariatric: A Team Effort



The Rox Bariatric program continues to grow. I was very fortunate today to hear some excellent feedback from one of our patients who is recently post-op from her panniculectomy and medial thigh lift.

She was very thankful for her results as well as to have had an excellent team of surgeons tend to her care. This group of surgeons not only pays close attention during her surgery, but also to the post-operative care that is so important to ensure proper healing.

I was truly thankful to hear how highly our patient spoke of our team of doctors. Specifically, the patient expressed her gratitude to Dr. Jay Calvert, Dr. Anita Patel, as well as the USC plastic surgery resident Dr. Joe Carey was so helpful during our case.

Dr. Patel has been taking a great interest in post-bariatric body contouring surgery and post-bariatric patients. Together with Dr. Patel, Dr. Shafipour, and the help of the USC residents we are able to provide complete and excellent care to these great patients who have lost massive amounts of weight. I am very proud of how hard our patients work to achieve their goals.

RoxBariatric. More Body Contouring. More Patients Enroll for Lap Band.

The Rox Bariatric program continues to gain significant traction. We are seeing many patients return for the second stages of their operations. I continue to be impressed by the power of panniculectomy to facilitate weight loss.

Not only does the removal of the abdominal pannus seem to allow patients the ability to workout and exercise, but also significantly motivates them to loose weight through appropriate dietary measures.

Today in the operating room I was truly impressed with a patient who returned for her bilateral mastopexy and bilateral brachioplasty after she continued to loose weight after her panniculectomy a few months ago. I continue to be very proud of how hard our patients work to improve themselves and their health.
