Abdominal Aesthetics
It is a surgical removal process of excess fat, excess and muscle laxity, which come into existence over time and cannot removed by irregular interventions. Abdominal aesthetics include aesthetics of basins, pubic area and waists as well.
This process, which is called Abdominoplasty, depending on the inclusion of the skin in the process, could sometimes be combined with liposuction. A new belly, more straight, tight and alive is formed through construction of a new naval. The surgical procedure lasts for 2-3 hours; the sutures are kept hidden under the underwear. The patient stays at hospital for 1-2 days.
The patient is forced to walk as soon as she recovers consciousness and she is allowed to move around with a protective corset for 2 weeks. Within w weeks after surgery, she can completely return to daily activities. By applying reinforcement stitches in rectus and other abdominal muscles, the body contour can be maintained again now in a tighter form.
Recovery Process
It is determined by many factors including age and general health condition of the patient, the presence of a condition requiring special follow-up and treatment, mobility, wound healing power, duration and extent of the intervention, whether there was an additional intervention during the operation, type, quality and depth of anesthesia applied to the patient, the cooperation of the patient and his commitment to the recommendations of her doctor.
If the surgery is performed in full, the recovery would not be fast and easy, as it will include, fat removal with liposuction, tightening the muscles with thick sutures under the midline rib cage under the ribs and tight suturing of the skin and the patients will lose 4-5 kg of weight.
Abdominoplasty may cause loss of work between 7-10 days. During the recovery period, the risky patients are asked to wear varicose stocking for e days and abdominal corset for 10 days. The controls are made on 3rd, 7th and 15th days after patient is discharged. Although there is an individual variability, the average time to start daily activities is 7th day after operation. Patients can start normal sport activities on 15th day. It could be necessary for weeks to start heavy sports.
Our Gains from the Procedure
Another advantage of this operation is the disappearance of the marks caused by subcutaneous fractures and dissociations observed in women who has been pregnant several times in the past and in people who lose a lot of weight in a short period of time.
In order to not regain your previous appearance, it is necessary to adopt a new life style that will include diet and exercise programs. It is scientifically proved that, in this way, cholesterol levels in blood is reduced, the tendency for diabetes is decreased with a reduction in insulin resistance, and permanent betterment in all body systems including cardio-vascular and muscoskelatal systems.
The number of operation made for abdomen lifting (forming body) has been increasing every day. It is a known fact that men that look fit and aesthetic with a flat and tight abdomen are perceived in social life as more successful, outgoing, decisive and more self-confident in comparison to their competitors.
Novelties
Abdominal surgeries alone have now been replaced by combined operations: together with body sculpting, liposuction and contouring interventions. While a mini-Abdominoplasty is preferred for thin women have with solitary fat deposits, sagging and laxity solely on the abdomen, it is necessary to apply additionally liposuction and contour plasty for the overweight patients with general body fat. As these additional interventions will increase the duration of the operation and consequently the risks, there is still a quest for completing Abdominoplasty as an improved technique in a shorter time. In our clinic, a full Abdominoplasty (normal duration is 4 hours) can be completed in less than 2 hours with this method we developed over the years and the patient is discharged the next day by minimizing the risks associated.
Among current issues, it is noteworthy that every day there are many new tools, techniques and methods that are being applied to regional fat deposits for weight loss and body shaping purposes. Many of these become famous and then fall from favor as their ineffectiveness in removing and preventing the deformities are experienced. Such interventions made for regional fat break-down/destruction are just one dimensional attempt to find solutions to a multi-dimensional problem. Although their activities are limited, variable and not sustainable, they can be used in suitable patients as complementary to body-building (liposculpture), by pulling a tummy or fat.
Weight loss of up to 30-90 kilograms can be achieved in patients who have undergone successful gastric minimizing or small bowel shortening bariatric surgery, and naturally there is a need for a corrective forming surgery for all deformed bodies. Post-bariatric surgery is the name given to surgical recovery operations applied to these patients. With this technique, corrective operations (breast-thigh-abdomen-arms etc.) can be performed on the whole body half in selected patients. As in all aesthetic operations, these operation techniques should be performed by experts who have received plastic surgery training.
