5 Quick Facts: Belt Lipectomy.
Dec 24th
Scottsdale – The popularity of plastic surgery after major weight loss continues to grow. Today, we are going to discuss belt lipectomy. These are the 5 quick facts about the procedure we feel all patients should know about:
1. Belt lipectomy is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and rolls, that develop after major weight loss.
2. Belt lipectomy creates an incision all the way around the body.
3. The procedure is better applied in patients without saggy outer thighs.
4. Belt lipectomy can be performed in 4 to 6 hours.
5. Hospital stay is recommended to improve outcomes and reduce risks.
Know your Options: Body Contouring.
Dec 21st
Scottsdale – The plastic surgery procedures known to improve the shape and size of the body are known as: Body Contouring. These surgeries can include well-known procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction, body lift and many others.
When are you a candidate for any of these procedures? The answer is not simple, unfortunately. However, three basic tips can help most individuals answer when and which of these plastic surgery procedures will serve their interests best.
Tip 1. When you have unwanted isolated fat pockets with good to excellent skin tone and you want to have a better body shape, then liposuction is likely the best procedure for you. Look at the area that bothers you and look at the skin. If you have stretchmarks, loose and flabby skin, then lipo will not work the best.
Tip 2. When you find yourself with fat pockets, flabbiness, loose skin, and strechmarks in any area of the body, then a procedure which can remove the unwanted fat and skin is going to give you the best results. If the excess is in the arms, then an arm tuck is best compared to lipo. If the excess is in the thighs, then a thigh lift is better than lipo. If the same occurs in the tummy, then a tummy tuck is a better operation, especially if you have had children.
Tip 3. If you find that you have lost a lot of weight with or without bariatric surgery and developed tremendous amounts of excess skin then a procedure like a body lift may be better for you. The only way to remove all that excess skin is by having a comprehensive body contouring procedure designed for patients after major weight loss.
I hope these three simple tips are helpful. The best way to find out which procedure best fits your needs, is to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
