After rapid weight loss, sagging may occur as the skin loses its elasticity, depending on factors such as the amount of weight lost and the age of the patient. Sometimes these sagging cannot be eliminated despite regular exercise. Assoc. Prof. stated that body shaping surgeries can be applied to people who have sagging in various parts of their body such as breast, abdomen, arm, back, waist, thigh, face and neck and have reached the target weight. Dr. Osman Kelahmetoğlu: “We mostly plan these surgeries in stages. It is beneficial to perform surgery on a maximum of two different areas at one time. Of course, the duration varies depending on the region and surgical technique. However, I recommend that the surgery last a maximum of 6 hours in each session and that the interval between sessions be at least 3 months,” he said.
“SOMETIMES MEN HAVE SURGERY TO LOOK MUCULAR”
Assoc. Prof. stated that the most common procedures performed in body shaping surgeries are performed in the abdomen, hip, breast, face and neck areas. Dr. Osman Kelahmetoğlu “Apart from these, arm, back and thigh stretching procedures are also performed very frequently. Recently, men have also been applying with the request of building abdominal and chest muscles. People who come to us with this request generally have normal body mass indexes or may be overweight. "In these people, with new liposuction techniques, abdominal and chest muscle shapes can be shaped without the need to lose weight beforehand," he said.
Yeditepe University Koşuyolu Hospital Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Assoc. Prof. points out that sagging skin, which occurs due to excessive weight loss after stomach surgery, may cause psychological problems in some patients. Dr. Osman Kelahmetoğlu said, “The surgeries we perform for sagging of the body should be performed under appropriate conditions and at the right time. "It is important not to rush for the surgery, but also not to be late, taking into account the patient's psychology," he said. It can be done if the moon remains constant. Assoc. Prof. emphasized that these surgeries can be performed on adults. Dr. Osman Kelahmetoğlu, if the patient is of advanced age, there is no additional disease. He added that after evaluating the presence of pain, risk factors and the general condition of the patient, it is decided whether the surgery will be performed or not.
LONG REST AFTER THE SURGERY IS IMPORTANT
Body shaping surgery is the same. Assoc. Prof. stated that if the surgery will be performed in more than one area at the same time, the patient will stay in the hospital longer after the surgery. Dr. Osman Kelahmetoğlu “It may take up to a year for the scars after surgery to heal to an acceptable extent. "A corset is worn for 4-6 weeks to resolve edema, support tissues and accelerate healing," he said.
