Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty, sometimes referred to as a tummy tuck, is a type of cosmetic surgery that seeks to enhance the abdomen’s appearance. The excess skin and fat that can be present at the abdomen are removed during a stomach tuck procedure. The muscle fascia, the connective tissue in the area, is also tightened during the procedure. The remaining skin will then be moved to give you a more toned appearance.
If you have difficulties with excess skin, fat, or your lower abdominal wall is weak, abdominoplasty may be the best option for you. With a new body image and the help of a successful abdominoplasty procedure, you can regain your confidence.
There are various justifications for getting a belly tuck. The most typical one is having too much belly fat. Other typical causes include muscular fascia weakness or poor skin elasticity in the abdomen. The causes of excess skin or fat in the abdomen typically include;
- Rapid and significant weight loss
- Undergoing abdominal procedures like C-sections
- Pregnancy
- Your physique
Combining an abdominalplasty with other cosmetic procedures, such as different breast surgeries, is an option. Furthermore, since the excess skin is not removed during liposuction surgery, you can also get a stomach tuck if you recently had liposuction. Only the fat beneath the skin is removed.
When considering a prospective stomach tuck procedure, we suggest that you select Zeta Clinic, the top medical tourism company in Turkey. Our skilled surgeons will assess your body and overall health in order to determine whether you are a candidate for the abdominoplasty or not.
Arm Lift
When the skin is drooping and loose due to severe weight loss after excessive fat buildup or obesity surgery, we typically do arm lift surgery in the region between the elbow and shoulder.
What circumstances require arm lift surgery?
- Excessive arm fat
- Sagging arm region,
- Arm skin that sags when weight drastically fluctuates
- Modifications brought on by post-bariatric patients’ significant weight loss.
Typically, liposuction can be performed alone if there is no skin sagging on the arm. The arm lift operation can be performed with liposuction if the arm has extra fat and is sagging. Only arm lift surgery is carried out on patients who have severe sagging but no extra body fat.
For a period of four weeks, we advise wearing compression clothing; arm-shoulder exercises are not advised.
Thigh Lift (Leg Lift)
After major weight reduction, liposuction, or sagging brought on by aging, pregnancy, or genetic causes, a thigh lift is a surgical operation that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs. A thigh lift and liposuction may be advised in cases with poor skin elasticity.
Thigh lifts come in a variety of varieties to treat various anatomical issues.
- Laxity that might run from the inner thigh to the knees can be treated with an inner thigh or medial thigh lift.
- To treat drooping in the upper legs, a minor thigh lift can be done by making an incision in the groin crease at the top of the inner thighs.
- Along with a lower body lift, a bilateral, lateral, or outer thigh lift is an option.
- A bikini or a pair of underwear would hit where the incision is created right below the butt, and it extends to the outside of the legs.
- Skin on the rear of the thighs is tightened with a posterior or spiral thigh lift. An incision is made beneath the buttocks to perform the procedure.
A thigh lift may be an useful option for people with considerable skin excess or significant sagging caused by elasticity loss that cannot be resolved with exercise or nonsurgical treatments. The ideal candidate for cosmetic surgery is a nonsmoker who is close to their target weight, has a healthy lifestyle, and has reasonable expectations for the procedure.
Back Lift
Even while decreasing weight is a good thing and drastic weight loss has many positive effects on a person’s health, many body parts may have ugly sagging skin after weight reduction surgery or any significant amount of weight loss. The skin on the back may sag or take on the appearance of “rolls” after significant weight reduction because the tissues and skin there frequently lack the suppleness to adapt to the smaller frame. The problem of extra skin and fat on the back can be solved surgically with a back lift, also known as an upper body lift. By removing extra skin and fat, a back lift is a surgical operation that targets recontouring and tightening up the back. The bulging areas above and below the bra line, which can bother certain women, are also addressed by this operation.
While the patient is under general anesthesia, a back lift is done. During the surgery, patients are lying on their stomachs. The mid-to-upper back region, as well as the sides of the upper abdomen under the arms, are the focus of a back lift treatment. For women, this is a particularly challenging area because these rolls of skin frequently appear above and below the bra line. The term “bra-line back lift” was used to describe the procedure’s original intent to best hide the incision beneath any conceivable undergarments worn by women, such as a bra. Excess tissue is removed after making a back incision. You could also utilize liposuction to get rid of any extra fat there. After being sutured shut in several layers, the residual skin has a smooth and toned appearance. After the treatment, the incisions are bandaged, and small, thin tubes or drains are typically inserted beneath the skin before closure to remove any extra blood or fluid that may have accumulated. Most back lifts are performed as outpatient surgeries.
Liposuction
One of the most common cosmetic procedures worldwide is liposuction. This risk-free method is used to get rid of stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diets and exercise. Small incision sites, quick recoveries, and notable cosmetic outcomes are all made possible by modern surgical expertise and techniques.
Liposuction is a safe cosmetic operation for body contouring that reduces extra fat and reshapes the body in specific places. It frequently boosts the patient’s self-confidence while assisting in lowering the chances of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other weight-related health concerns.
If you want to get rid of tiny fat deposits, liposuction can be the right procedure for you. These are frequently located on the stomach, buttocks, hips, and thighs.
By removing fat deposits from the targeted location, the technique will reduce bulges and improve shape. Liposuction is not advised as a weight loss method, though.
An incision between 0.5 and 1 cm is made during this surgical operation, which is typically carried out in an operating theater under general anesthesia. Before it, a fat-dissolving liquid is injected into the application region. After that, using liposuction cannulas and a negative pressure device, a closed technical procedure is used to remove the adipose tissue from this region.
A specific compression garment must be worn after the procedure. For three weeks, you should wear this corset. There is no requirement for movement limitations, and the patient can simply resume their normal activities. An edema (fluid retention) decreasing and fat-burning diet, along with regular exercise, can help the patient improve the effectiveness and satisfaction of the surgical results in the time following the procedure.
Additionally, liposuction is the surgical procedure that is most frequently combined with other procedures. Depending on the situation, fat can be injected into the right places to apply the liposuctioned fat.
When a person has extensive stretch marks and drooping skin due to poor skin elasticity, liposuction alone will not be sufficient. As a result, performing a proper stretching-lifting procedure on the area would be appropriate.
