Body aesthetics surgeries encompass all applications performed to correct body contour irregularities. Those who undergo body aesthetics begin to feel greater self-confidence as a result of the operations. This is indeed the starting point of these operations; all applications performed within the scope of body aesthetics are done to meet patients' expectations in the most appropriate way. The most commonly performed body shaping operations are abdomen, arm, leg lifts, and liposuction.
Liposuction is the process of removing localized fat using a thin tube called a cannula with the help of negative pressure. Cannulas are placed into the fat tissue through very small incisions, and the volume in the area is reduced by pulling the fat tissue out with the vacuum applied during this process.
Localized areas where liposuction is applied include the abdominal region, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, knees, and under the chin. Breast enlargement observed in men, referred to as gynecomastia, can also be successfully treated with this method. Therefore, male body aesthetics also falls within the application area of liposuction.
In addition to the classical method, liposuction can also be performed using ultrasound and laser energy. The advantage of these methods, known as Vaser and laser liposuction, is that the operation time and the intensity of edema and ecchymosis that may occur after the operation will be less than the classical method.
Ideal patients for liposuction are those with a body weight close to normal, a tight and elastic skin structure, but with excessive fat masses in certain parts of their body. While age is not very important for liposuction, the ideal result that can be obtained from liposuction is also affected because skin elasticity decreases with aging. Recovery is faster in younger patients after the application. If a patient who wants to shape their body with body aesthetics surgeries has excess skin and decreased skin elasticity due to advanced age, different surgical procedures (such as removing fat and excess skin together) may be recommended instead of liposuction.
Many additional procedures can be applied to the patient after or along with liposuction. With body aesthetics surgeries such as fat injection applications, thigh lift, breast lift, buttock lift; calf, buttock, and breast implants; arm lift, tummy tuck, and buttock lift, the desired shape is tried to be given to the body.
Patients who experience excessive weight loss after bariatric surgery intervention (bariatric surgery is gastric reduction operations applied to overweight and obese patients) and consequently have skin sagging in their bodies are suitable candidates for body aesthetics surgeries. The areas of the body most affected by weight loss are the arm, abdomen, breast, buttock, and inner leg regions. With appropriate lifting procedures for these regions, a new body shape can be successfully created.
