Today, as a result of the widespread use of fast food nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle, there is a serious increase in the incidence of obesity.
Obesity, which means abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the body that can pose a health risk, can lead to secondary diseases such as high blood pressure, heart diseases, diabetes and health problems such as sleep apnea. Surgical methods are applied to people who cannot get rid of their excess weight through bariatric surgery procedures, diet and exercise, and who encounter health problems that may have serious consequences, and with the application of the right techniques, patients can lose significant amounts of weight.
Patients who undergo post bariatric surgical procedures and experience dramatic weight loss as a result have sagging and deformations in their bodies. With post bariatric surgery procedures, excesses, sagging and deformations that occur in the body of people due to weight loss after bariatric surgery are eliminated. Post-obesity aesthetics has a combined aesthetic quality and is determined individually according to the needs of the patient.
Post-obesity plastic surgery;
The most preferred post-obesity aesthetic surgeries are leg lift, tummy tuck, back lift, arm lift, face lift, breast and butt lift, and the planning for their application together or sequentially is done on a patient-specific basis. With post bariatric surgical procedures, the patient’s body is put into the desired form. In this way, the patient is provided with the desired body shape. At the same time, self-confidence problems in the person are eliminated by removing sagging, deformations and sagging in the body.
Since aesthetic surgeries after obesity can have a combined nature, they are planned according to the needs of the patient. In this context, it may be possible to intervene in the hip, back abdomen, breast, back and arm regions, face and neck regions together, and to perform more than one operation with a single operation.
It is recommended to leave a period of 4-6 months between surgeries to be applied to different areas. Thus, the risk of anesthesia and surgery is minimized. And in case of a change in the needs of the person, new planning is made.
The recovery process after plastic surgery after obesity varies according to the scope of the procedure applied and the techniques used. Depending on the procedure applied, bandages or dressings may be applied to the incisions and temporary drains may be placed. Depending on the procedure, the patient may need to wear a corset for 1-3 months. Bruises and swellings that occur after the operation usually resolve spontaneously within 1-2 weeks. In case of pain in the first few days, simple painkillers prescribed by the doctor can be used. In addition, antibiotics given by the doctor should be used regularly in order to eliminate the risk of a possible infection.
Although the average time to return to work is 10 days, it would be more appropriate to take a break for the patient by evaluating according to the working environment and the qualifications of the job.
Procedures within the scope of post bariatric surgery have the feature of being a body shaping surgery, not a weight loss surgery. For this reason, if a balanced nutrition program is not applied and regular exercise is not performed after the operation, weight can be gained.
Post bariatric surgical procedures can also be applied to men if they provide the appropriate conditions for surgery.
Since anesthesia is applied during the operation, pain is not felt. The pain felt after the operation is also at a level that can be controlled with painkillers.
