Is body shaping a good choice for you?
There are many reasons a persons want to reduce their weight. They either want to achieve the so-called ideal body contour or want to do away with the loose skin hanging from their body after a drastic weight loss. Some people even suffer from rashes and chafing of skin due to continuous contact of body parts or rubbing of skin against their clothes. Irrespective of reason and the kind of fat reduction one aims for, it may take more than one procedure to get the desired results. There are many times when a person goes to a doctor with queries for a tummy tuck and after a thorough examination, they are suggested a Panniculectomy, which is the removal of skin and tissue below the belly button or liposuction in another part to maintain the body proportion.
Plastic surgery is a complex procedure, wherein the surgeon has to take a judicious decision from where and how much fat has to be removed or how much muscle should be cut. It is very important to get an overall picture of the procedures before you can see a surgeon.
Following are the surgery options you can choose from
Reshaping waist or stomach
Removing fat from the abdomen area can be done using three methods. Abdominoplasty, popularly known as tummy tuck surgery, panniculectomy or liposuction, or a combination of any two of them. A tummy tuck involves the removal of fat from the abdomen area by making an incision below the belly button. In complete abdominoplasty, the surgeon cuts the abdomen from hipbone to hipbone to contour the skin, tissue, and muscle. Whereas, a partial or mini abdominoplasty is a lesser invasive option for people who are within their recommended weight range but have little extra fat below the belly button which is hard to get rid of with diet or exercise.
A panniculectomy also involves removing excess skin and muscle from the abdomen but unlike tummy tuck, it doesn’t tighten the muscle to give the abdomen a more cosmetic look. Therefore this procedure doesn’t qualify as a cosmetic procedure. However, removal of skin and muscle can make the tummy look flat. It is usually performed along with other cosmetic procedures like tummy tuck and liposuction.
In Liposuction, the surgeon injects a sterile solution along with an anesthetic drug into the area to be treated. Small cuts are made to insert a thin tube called a cannula under the skin. The cannula which is connected to a vacuum sucks out fat and fluids from the body. It is usually performed for the abdomen, thighs, or any other area, to balance the amount of fat present in other parts of the body.
Hips, thighs, and buttocks
These are the tougher areas where fat deposits are hard to remove. Those who have disproportionate hips, thighs, and buttocks go for liposuction. In liposuction, excessive fat is removed from the buttocks, hips, or thighs. Although it removes fat from the targeted areas, it doesn’t fix the loose skin in the buttocks or thighs. A thigh lift or a buttock lift treatment can complement the liposuction process to achieve a sleek appearance.
Thigh lift surgery involves the removal of excess skin and boosting of sagging tissues. When it is combined with butt lift surgery, a complete rejuvenation of the body structure can be achieved by improving the shape of the lower body.
Arm lift surgery
Brachioplasty or arm lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure to remove excess fat and tissues from under arms giving them a more toned and defined look. People develop bat arms because of age, genetics, or weight loss. Just like thigh and hip surgery it might need a combination of liposuction and lift surgery.
Body lift surgery
A body lift surgery includes treatment of thighs, tummy, waist, and hips in one procedure. An incision is made slightly below the waist to remove excess skin and the skin is closed under some tension. Usually, a circumferential incision around the body is made to remove an apron of excess skin and fat and the tissue is repositioned and tightened. A combination of surgeries with liposuction may be required to contour the body to give it a complete toned look. It may take years to complete the procedure when done in parts. Only the surgeon in charge can decide on the course that is best suited for your body type, nature of fat distribution, and specific expectations you have.
Expert’s Advice
Caution is the word you should keep in mind when you want to go for artificial methods. For sure looking good is important for you, but that shouldn’t throw caution to the wind. The first step is to choose a board-certified doctor who has years of experience in performing multiple surgeries. The second one is not to hide your underlying health conditions from the doctor while taking these treatments. The third one is not to expect the procedures to keep you in shape permanently. Fat cells tend to regrow and so it is your responsibility to have a healthy lifestyle by working out and taking a proper diet to keep body growth in check.
