Last Minute Unique Gifts Boost Health and Self-Esteem

The American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons is offering $5000 gift cards for presents.

This holiday season, millions of people will receive presents designed to help them look and feel their best. Joining in the holiday cheer, the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons (ASBPS) is offering several unique gifts that provide these benefits to individuals who have experienced significant weight loss following bariatric surgery or intense dieting.

Going one better than department stores, ASBPS has created its own gift card. The unique stocking stuffer is redeemable for a wide range of face and body contouring cosmetic procedures, and is available in both $1,000.00 and $5,000.00 denominations. Accepted by all member plastic surgeons of ASBPS as well as the International Society of Plastic Surgeons (ISBPS), the card offers its recipient an opportunity for removal of the excess skin that remains after the significant weight loss.

Dr. Edward Domanskis, President of the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons, believes the novel gifts are very apropos for the times. “The number of cosmetic face and body contouring procedures has increased exponentially since a steadily rising number of people are electing to undergo bariatric procedures like gastric bypass,” he says. The massive weight loss that follows bariatric surgery or intense dieting invariably results in large areas of sagging skin. Not only can this condition be detrimental to one’s self esteem, it can lead to potential health problems such as difficulty in walking.

What is especially notable about the cards is that they allow individuals to receive medical treatment they may not otherwise get. Insurance companies limit their coverage to bariatric surgeries. Cosmetic treatments are usually excluded for they are considered cosmetic. “An ASBPS gift card is like a ticket that allows a person to complete the journey that began with bariatric surgery,” adds Dr. Domanskis.

A leading proponent of patient education, the ASBPS serves as an informational site for patients following their bariatric surgery. In addition to the gift cards, there are a wide selection of DVD’s covering a broad range of cosmetic procedures including Body Contouring and Facial and Breast Surgery. Further information about the gift cards is available on the ASBPS website at www.asbps.org.
