Arm and Leg Lift Operation
As a common condition due to rapid weight gain or loss or genetic factors, sagging in the arm or leg areas is re-shaped by lifting operation. Sometimes these sagging can be healed with regular sports and exercises, but occasionally such measures are not enough. Arm lifting operation is applied to the part of the arm between the shoulder and elbow. Sagging in the leg section also usually occurs in the back section. After these areas sag, the body loses its elasticity. Thus, trembling-and-shaking excess pieces of tissue accumulate outside the moving muscles. In the lifting operation, these excess parts are removed. This deformation, which spoils the appearance of the clothes worn, is a situation that patients often complain.
Who Can Have Arm and Leg Lift Operation?
The average age of people who want to have arm and leg lifting operations shows great diversity. The most accurate operation method is to apply to patients who have completely completed their development.
Patients who can have arm and leg lifting operations can be listed as follows;
- Patients with extreme arm and leg droop
- Patients who have serious problems with clothes and daily life
- Those who have a serious lack of self-confidence due to sagging
- Patients who experience difficulties in the use of arms and legs due to sagging
Sometimes the repair of the sagging area is performed with a liposuction operation. For this reason, it is extremely important to do serious research before the operation and get opinions from several physicians.
How Does the Arm and Leg Lift Operation Process Proceed?
Therefore, arm and leg lifting operations are surgical procedures and should be performed by a specialist plastic surgeon. General anesthesia is applied before the operation. For this reason, the patient is asleep during the operation. The fat layer and excess tissue are removed from the body with a thin incision in the selected area. During this process, aesthetic applications are also performed for the appearance of the operation area.
Abdomen Lifting Operation
However, the fat and excess tissue layer accumulated in the abdominal region may sometimes be prevented with regular sports and diet measures; in some cases, this body area performs an independent accumulation from the body. The abdomen lifting operation removes excess fat and tissue layer from the navel and under the belly button, which occurs due to rapid weight gain and loss, fat layer seen in post-pregnancy, and similar reasons. Abdominal sagging, which can be seen in all ages, is a common complaint. Although the abdomen lifting operation is generally seen as an operation applied by female patients, it is frequently performed by male patients.
How is The Abdomen Lifting Aesthetics Performed?
Abdomen lifting operation takes longer than other aesthetic interventions. The average operation time is between two and four hours. The operation tries to preserve the aesthetic appearance. For this reason, the incision to be made is usually the lower part of the abdomen. The incision opened here is determined that the incision is to be covered with underwear. Thus, it is extremely easy to hide the incision in everyday life. Then, a drain is installed to pull the fat layer in the area. After the fat layer is taken out with a drain, the incision is closed with a careful suturing process. In some cases, a urinary catheter is placed in the patient, which helps to meet the patient’s needs for a day.
When Should The Abdomen Lifting Aesthetics Be Performed After Pregnancy?
The Abdomen Lifting operation is highly preferred in the post-pregnancy period. Abdominal deterioration usually occurs due to rapid weight gain and loss and pregnancy. For this reason, post-pregnancy plastic surgery is ideal for female patients. If there is no serious health problem, the abdomen lifting operation can be safely performed one year after birth.
What Should Be Done After The Abdomen Lifting Operation?
The Abdomen Lifting operation is relatively long. Since the fat layer formed in the belly can reach large sizes, the purification process also takes longer. Staying in the hospital for one night after the operation is the right choice in terms of health. The main points to be considered after the operation can be listed as follows;
- Resting in a lying position for the first two days after the operation
- Avoiding heavy exercise for the first few weeks
- Performing light exercises such as walking to accelerate the healing process
- To speed up the healing process, the use of alcohol and tobacco products should be avoided in the first few weeks.
- The operation area should be protected from physical interventions.
- Attention should be paid to the hygiene of the operation area.
- Regular doctor visits should be carried out without interruption.
- The immune system should be strengthened with regular and adequate nutrition.
- Increase blood flow by drinking plenty of fluids
- Comfortable clothes and underwear should be preferred
Paying attention to all these issues is extremely important in accelerating the healing process.
