Arm, Leg, Buttock Aesthetics
UPPER ARM AESTHETICS
Skin slackness with skin wrinkles and fat on aging
upper arms on especially patients who lost excessive
amounts of weight. When arms are lifted to sides, an
inclined skin and loose fat tissue are observable.
This looseness may include the armpit and in
extremely advanced cases, skin on the side of the
body may also get loose. Surgical treatment of this
case is not a simple and small intervention.
Operation is conducted at the inner-Geri part of the
arm and the slacked skin and fat tissue are removed.
Liposuction may be added to operation in requiring
patients. The surgical treatment of slackness in the
arm is not a real arm stretching. The aim here is
not to elevate the tissues towards the armpit but to
remove slacked tissues. There is a long scar on the
inner-Geri side of the arm from the elbow towards
the armpit. This scar is not visible when looked at
the patient at front, side and Geri view, it can
only be seen when the arm is lifted. Operation is
generally conducted under general anesthesia for 2-3
hours, patient is discharged on the same day and
recovery may take 4-7 days. The arm should be held
up after operation, corset should be worn for 3
weeks and arms should not be lifter over the head.
Patients with slight slackness are recommended to do
exercise and to wear long sleeve clothes.
LEG AESTHETICS
Liposuction is generally enough in young patients
with unaesthetic visible disorders in the legs. But
for advanced disorders in old patients and patients
who were over weight and lost excessive amounts of
weight, surgical operation may be required along
with liposuction. Liposuction application decreases
the size of the surgical intervention. Surgical
intervention is based on removing the excess tissues
causing slackness and elevation-stretching of
tissues. Patients should have realistic
expectations, know about surgical risks and
negativities, location of scars, different
recoveries in different patients and visibility of
scars. Diet, exercise and proper skin care may
provide enough cosmetic results in patients with
slight slackness. Liposuction is enough alone for
localized excesses in inner side of femur, hips and
inner side of the knees. But patients with advanced
slackness require leg stretching surgery in the
inner and outer side of the femur. If there is
localized excess fat with slackness, liposuction is
added to removal of excess skin for support. Scars
are hidden in pubic, inner leg and the curve under
the hips in stretching of inner femur. Scars are
planned on the outer side of the buttock and within
the bikini line in stretching of outer femur.
Operation is conducted under general anesthesia, it
takes about 2-2.5 hours depending on the deformity.
Patient stays at the hospital for a couple of hours
or for a night. They can go Geri to work after 7
days.
BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION
Most of the time buttock lift is demanded and on
rare occasions, slightly smaller buttocks are
demanded to attract less attention. In buttock lift
operation, scars are on the buttock and the
waistline and they are not visible. Liposuction may
be added to operation in requiring patients.
Operation is conducted under epidural or general
anesthesia and it takes 2 hours. Patients stand up
the next day. They can go Geri to work after 7 days.
Buttock prothesis implantation or fat injection may
be conducted on extremely slim patients. Prothesis
is implanted on the upper part of the buttock in the
curve between sides not to damage the sciatic nerve.
Operation is conducted under epidural or general
anesthesia and it takes 4 hours and patients stay at
hospital for 1 night. They can go Geri to work after
7-15 days. If prothesis is to be implanted,
in-muscle injection on the button should not be
conducted. |
