The Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery (http://www.yourplasticsurgeryguide.com), a new website that helps consumers make educated decisions about a variety of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, has launched a section on weight loss surgery - http://www.yourplasticsurgeryguide.com/bariatric/. According to data from the American Society of Bariatric Surgery, more than 40 million Americans are considered obese, with more than eight million considered morbidly obese.

Articles in the section include:

Further underscoring consumer interest in the category, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported a 22% increase in 2005 in body contouring procedures after massive weight loss. The most popular procedures included, among others, panniculectomy, lower body lifts, thigh lifts and upper arm lifts.

The Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery offers in-depth information on procedures, candidacy, expectations, techniques, risks and cost for each of these areas:

In addition, the site offers broad coverage of non-surgical topics, including anti-aging treatments, facial rejuvenation, injectables and fillers, and laser skin procedures.

To complement this robust content, a before-and-after photo gallery is in development.
