Body Contouring, a Plastic Surgery Trend

A new shape is what Maria Diaz is focused on these days. Diaz, a 29-year-old mother of four from St. Paul says, "You know, four kids and a lot of weight loss you get some saggy skin. It's not very attractive." It was three years ago, when her size 26 pants didn't fit anymore, that Diaz decided to have gastric bypass, a form of bariatric, or stomach reduction, surgery. "I was just getting too heavy and I was worried about heart attack or diabetes," she says. After the surgery, Diaz went from almost 300 pounds to around 175. What she didn't lose was her stretched out excess rolls of skin. "It makes it hard to get clothes because a lot of stuff, with that excess skin, it doesn't quite fit right." So Diaz is having all the excess skin cut off to redefine her figure.
