What are body aesthetic surgeries?

Plastic and Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Op.Dr. Deniz Küçükkaya explains body aesthetic surgeries.

Body aesthetics (Bariatric surgery) is a series of aesthetic surgeries to correct body sagging in patients who have lost excess weight for various reasons. In patients who lose 1/4 or more of their body weight rapidly through diet or surgery, sagging and contour deformities occur in various areas. In aesthetic surgery, different types of surgical operations are applied according to the areas where sagging occurs.

Face and jowl sagging: Fat injections to the face in young patients and facelift methods can be used in middle-aged and older patients. In the area under the chin, the most appropriate method is neck lift.

Breast sagging: Depending on the degree of sagging and the amount of fat underneath, breast lift surgery is performed in men and breast lift surgery with or without prosthesis in women.

Sagging abdomen: Again, tummy tuck surgery can be performed in different sizes in proportion to the amount of sagging. Normal tummy tuck or circumferential tummy tuck surgery can also be performed. If necessary, liposuction can be performed on the upper abdomen and waist area during all these stretching procedures.

Arm sagging The sagging of the arm, especially between the elbow and armpit, can be very disturbing, especially for women wearing low-cut or short-sleeved clothes, and liposuction and/or arm lift surgery can be applied to this area.

Thigh sagging Thigh sagging may occur in the entire upper leg, i.e. inner thigh, anterior thigh, hip area and posterior thigh, or only one of them may sag. The most appropriate plastic surgery is selected according to the amount of sagging and the patient’s skin type.

Butt sagging Due to the loss of volume of the muscles, the butt mound disappears and when the patient looks at the patient from the side, it is seen that the butt hangs down and flattens. In this case, butt lift or butt lift surgeries are performed. If the decrease in the volume of the butt is significant, fat injection or butt prosthesis surgeries can be added to these surgeries.

In some cases, body aesthetic surgeries are important surgical operations that need to be completed in several stages. If your current health condition allows, you can also have several surgeries together. These surgeries, which we call combined surgeries, are applied much more comfortably with the advancement of anesthesia.

If your body has started to sag due to rapid weight loss, childbirth or aging and this negatively affects your quality of life, you can also benefit from body aesthetic surgeries. However, in order for the operation process and its aftermath to go as well as possible, you must have a complete sense of trust with your doctor and follow all his/her recommendations.
