Significant weight loss through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery can result in loose, sagging skin and soft tissue along with residual fatty pockets that can be quite troubling. Dr. Joseph O’Connell has great empathy for weight loss patients and he coined the term “bari-plastic surgery” in the medical literature several years ago.
