BODY-SURGERY
As people age there is a redistribution of the body's fat. Often the problem areas for women are on the stomach, hips, buttocks and outer thighs. The problem areas common in men are on the stomach, chest and waist.
Surgical correction of body shape should never replace a diet or weight loss program, but sometimes, despite exercise and a healthy diet, many of these problem areas persist. Here liposuction, among other things, serves by shaping and harmonizing the body surface. It is also possible to introduce the fat extracted from one part of the body to form the corresponding body region (sculpturing).
Liposuction (Liposculpturing)
During liposuction an infusion of a special solution of local anesthetic and other drugs is injected into the adipose tissue which is to be removed. This is then extracted ultrasonically with the assistance of fine needles. The procedure can be performed either under local or general anesthesia. After the procedure, a special compression garment must be worn for 6-8 weeks in order to achieve an optimal result.
Body parts that are well treated by liposuction:
- Waist / hip
- Thigh and knee
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Buttocks
- Upper arms
- Male Breast
- Neck
- Chin and neck
Tummy Tuck
In some people after significant weight loss or after pregnancy a flabby abdominal wall remains. Also strain or stretch marks frequently occur. With diet and exercise, there may sometimes be excess skin remaining.
An abdominal skin apron or apron belly fat occurs when the excess abdominal skin on the waistband folds over. Many people suffer from this phenomenon, which can affect the quality of life tremendously. With a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or a combination with suction of excess fat (Lipoabdominoplasty) the entire abdomen can be brought into an aesthetic form.
During the procedure, first the excess tissue is removed between the navel and pubic area. Subsequently, the abdominal skin between navel and sternum is brought down. The navel is displaced and relocated. It is also possible to tighten the muscular abdominal wall with this intervention.
After the procedure there is a seam (scar) that lies hidden in the underwear or bikini line. Following the surgery, compression garments should be worn for 6-8 weeks in order to achieve an optimal result.
Arm lift
After major weight loss and with increasing age, the skin is often not elastic enough to regress or to remain tight. This excess skin, usually on the upper arms and the thighs, is often perceived as very annoying and unattractive. It is not uncommon to see functional and social impairments.
With a surgical procedure, the sagging skin and excess fat can be removed and a more streamlined contour of the arms or legs can be restored. Often this procedure is supplemented by liposuction to achieve an optimal result. The incision is made in each case on the inside so as to make the scar inconspicuous.
In general, this procedure is performed under general anesthesia and afterwards a compression garment must be worn for a period of 6 weeks.
Thigh Lift
After major weight loss and with increasing age, the skin is often not elastic enough to regress or to remain tight. This excess skin, usually on the upper arms and the thighs, is often perceived as very annoying and unattractive. It is not uncommon to see functional and social impairments.
With a surgical procedure, the sagging skin and excess fat can be removed and a more streamlined contour of the arms or legs can be restored. Often this procedure is supplemented by liposuction to achieve an optimal result. The incision is made in each case on the inside so as to make the scar inconspicuous.
In general, this procedure is performed under general anesthesia and afterwards a compression garment must be worn for a period of 6 weeks.
Navel shaping
In some people, the shape of the belly button changes due to operations, piercing or through pregnancy.
With a relatively small outpatient procedure, similar to a scar correction, the shape of the belly button can be restored.
Liposculpturing
Liposculpturing is a method that can be employed to target specific body areas according to aesthetic criteria. Here, among other things, the body's own fat that was previously removed by liposuction, is used for contouring the body.
The new design will depend on the amount of fat gained, the respective body region and the changing needs and opportunities. Thus, for example the breasts can be augmented with your own fat tissue. But it can also be that smaller areas of the body may be changed. For example wrinkle injections can be used for the relining of scars or to fill the lower cheeks.
After liposuction compression underwear should be worn for 6-8 weeks.
