The most effective and permanent treatment for excessive fat accumulation in the waist area is the surgical procedures we call "abdominoplasty".
The abdomen and especially the waist area have become one of the body parts discussed today. Recent scientific studies have revealed that fat retention in the abdominal and waist area is more important than general fat retention in the body. It is possible to make the following inference from this determination. Excess fat retention around the waist is more dangerous and more life-threatening than "obesity", which is the body's general excess weight gain. Obese people; Those who are overweight and overweight; They are people who have various diseases, have poor general health, and are at risk of dying at an early age. In other words, excess weight not only disturbs the person as excess weight, but also brings with it many diseases.
I think it is useful to emphasize once again that the most dangerous formation of weight problems and obesity is accompanied by widening of the waist circumference and getting a belly. So you may not be obese, you may even be of normal weight, but if the fat is in the waist area, you should be much more careful. Because the risk of dying from heart disease for those with fat in the waist area is higher than the risk of dying from heart disease for obese people. The fat in this area is called "bad fat".
One of the most valid methods used to determine the degree of obesity, defined as the disease of the age, is " It is the calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is calculated by dividing body weight (kg) by height squared (m²). A body mass index of over 30 kg/m² is defined as obesity. This calculation alone is not sufficient for the diagnosis of obesity. Because obesity is an abnormal increase in the amount of fat in the body, not the body weight. “Body Mass Index” is independent of age and gender.
What is not independent of gender is the development that is against men. Because, due to anatomical features, the fat accumulation of a woman who gains weight usually occurs in the hip and hip areas and is called "pear type" obesity. However, in men, fat accumulation generally occurs in the abdomen and waist area and is called "apple type" obesity. is simulated. Studies show that "apple-shaped" obesity causes more serious health problems, so waist circumference measurement must be taken when evaluating obesity. As a result, men with excessive fat accumulation in the waist area have to be very careful, especially if they are over middle age. In this group of individuals, who have excessive fat around the waist and whom we will briefly call "pot-bellied", the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and myocardial infarction increases due to the fat in the vessels. The main discomforts caused by obesity are; We can list them as "diabetes, hypertension, artery diseases, psychological disorders, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, loss of activity, hormone disorders, sleep apnea, stroke, insomnia, hernia, various cancers, liver diseases and kidney diseases." is the most important step.
Various methods have been defined to get rid of fat tissues localized around the waist. We can classify these methods as surgical methods and non-surgical methods. The main non-surgical methods are "balanced nutrition" and "constant diet". exercise programs are coming. If these methods are applied consciously and especially with the help of a doctor, it may be possible to get rid of excess weight.
Medication treatment in advanced stages of obesity is also a non-surgical option. Many drugs have been used in the treatment of obesity to date. These drugs either work by reducing the amount of serotonin in the brain, thus shutting down the patient's appetite, or by reducing fat absorption from the intestines before entering the bloodstream, reducing the amount of calories taken. Among the non-surgical approaches applied to the waist area; We can also list the "laser", "radiofrequency" and "cavitation" methods. These applications are recommended together with diet therapy such as acupuncture. However, the debates about their effects and duration of permanence continue without losing their currency.
With these methods, localization to the abdominal area is recommended. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to achieve success in patients with fat accumulation. In this case, use more professional methods. It is necessary to make. This is where surgical procedures come into play. We can talk about two surgical approaches applied to fat tissues localized to the waist area.
The first and relatively easier of these is "liposuction" applications. With liposuction, it is of course possible to intervene in a limited amount of fat tissue localized to the waist area and completely destroy these tissues. “The most important difference of the 'Liposuction' method compared to non-surgical methods is that the fat tissues are absorbed and moved out of the area. As a result, the method offers a radical solution since there are no fat tissue cells left in the treated area. Since the re-formation of fat cells in the area where the fat tissue is removed is not possible, The result is permanent and definitive. However, if the "liposuction" method is applied in each case without evaluating the conditions, it may be possible to make some mistakes.
Because the skin elasticity capacity of the patients to whom "liposuction" will be performed is very important. After the fat tissue is removed from the area, the overlying skin is applied to the area. It must be elastic in order to adapt. Otherwise, if the skin in the area where fat is removed cannot adapt, it will sag. In this case, even if you have gotten rid of the fat tissue, the excess sagging skin will disturb you. Therefore, be careful when selecting patients for whom "liposuction" will be indicated. It will prevent some problems after the operation.
The most effective and permanent treatment of excessive fat accumulation in the waist area is the surgical procedures we call "abdominoplasty". With the “Abdominoplasty” operation, it is possible to cut and remove all the skin and fat tissues below the belly button level. During this procedure, a new belly button is made for the patient. During the operation, the loosened abdominal muscles are also intervened and the looseness of the muscle tissues is eliminated in the same session as the "diastasis recti" operation. Thus, it is possible to get rid of excess fat tissues and have an extremely smooth and tight complexion. The only disadvantage of this method is the scar that occurs in the abdominal area after surgery. However, this scar is considered a scar that can be ignored because it is hidden in underwear. . Since the scar in question remains inside the swimsuit, you can easily swim in the sea and go out in the sun. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and it is recommended to use a waist corset for a month after the surgery. Pain can be easily controlled with painkillers, and if necessary, the pain can be completely eradicated by establishing a "patient-controlled anesthesia" mechanism by the anesthesiologist. After a one-day stay in the hospital, it is possible for the patient to return to work within 15 days.
Obesity is accepted as the disease of our age. However, as much as obesity, it is also important in which parts of the body the excess fat tissues settle. It is known that the most dangerous area for the fat tissues to settle in the body is the waist area. When evaluated in terms of gender, men with "apple type" fat tissue placement are appears to be at greater risk.
