Comprehensive body restoration after weight loss

Вody restoration

People who have decided to fight against overweight, after losing weight, want to see a toned slender figure. But, unfortunately, this is not always possible. Often, after significant weight loss, unattractive excess skin is visible in the mirror. Thus, the joy of victory over one’s own imperfections is replaced by sheer disappointment and serious complexes.

The skin is a fairly flexible organ that contracts and stretches with significant fluctuations in weight. The plasticity of the skin depends on various factors, namely: the rate of weight loss, age, physical activity, daily care and heredity. In addition, external circumstances play a role in the damage to elastin fibers. This category includes bad habits, stress, ultraviolet radiation.

It is not necessary to count on the fact that the skin will significantly decrease after rapid weight loss. Collagen fibers lose their elasticity over time. In other words, we are talking about the so-called “deflated balloon effect”. The volume of the body is significantly reduced, but, at the same time, the area of ​​the skin remains the same.  With proper care, 10 pounds lost does not affect the overall condition of the skin. If we are talking about 15-20 kilograms, one cannot do without a long visit to a masseur and a cosmetologist, over 30 kilograms – the only option is the services of a plastic surgeon.

After losing weight, first of all, the chest, waist, abdomen, thighs, inner surface of the arms, buttocks suffer.

Undoubtedly, the most problematic part of the body is the belly. Excess adipose tissue leaves unevenly and slowly. After losing weight in the abdomen, most often there is a “leather apron”. In addition, after losing weight, the mammary glands suffer greatly. They lose volume and, as a result, sag.

Thus, it is impossible to avoid surgery for total weight loss: diets and sports do not affect excess skin.

Indications for complex body restoration after weight loss

Restoring the figure after losing weight is shown in the presence of the following problems:

• Formation of skin folds and sagging skin after rapid weight loss.
• Preservation of an excess amount of fatty tissue in certain areas of the body. They are not amenable to correction using other methods. Also, surgery is resorted to if the patient wishes to significantly improve the contours and shape of the body.

Particular features of complex body restoration after weight loss

The clinic of Andrey Leonidovich Kharkov offers its patients progressive methods of body correction. Their main advantage is an integrated approach. The essence of this approach is to correct the body as a whole, not individual areas.

To quickly cope with the consequences of large-scale rapid weight loss, a variety of plastic surgeries are performed. In most cases, patients go through tummy tuck and skin tightening. Any of the surgical interventions can be supplemented with liposuction, which allows you to locally remove the remnants of fat deposits. We propose to consider the most popular components of the program for complex body restoration.

• Tummy tuck

The largest accumulations of fat are concentrated in the area of ​​the anterior abdominal wall. This area suffers the most after losing weight. It is possible to tighten the abdominal muscles, remove excess fat and skin by using abdominoplasty. In the process of surgery, it is also possible to correct the location and shape of the navel. Depending on the task and the clinical situation, the following abdominal correction options can be used:

• Classical (complete) abdominoplasty. The surgeon cuts off excess skin, removes fat from the entire abdomen. The next step is to tighten the abdominal muscles and move the navel to its place.
• Mini abdominoplasty. It is used when there is a slight excess of fat and skin in the lower abdomen. At the same time, the abdominal muscles are stretched, the navel remains in place.
• Endoscopic abdominoplasty. Belongs to the category of the most sparing types of surgical intervention. It is carried out under the close supervision of a small video camera. The surgeon inserts endoscopic instruments through small incisions. The recovery period is much shorter than with classical methods.
• Liposuction

If the skin is sufficiently elastic, it is sufficient to remove the fat deposits. In this case, liposuction is ideal.

A special cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue, under the skin. Through it, the fat is pumped out into a special container. Once it has gone through the appropriate treatment, it can be used for lipofilling.

• Skin tightening
• Thigh lift. Ideal for stretched skin, weak muscles, and a large amount of fat in the outer and inner thighs.
• Breast lift. It can be combined with a decrease or increase in the mammary glands. The type of surgical intervention depends on the problem.
• Circular body tightening. May include a waist, hip, buttock lift. This is a fairly serious surgical intervention that covers almost the entire body. Shown with significant weight loss – from 50 kilograms or more.

A neck and face lift can also be used. A circular facelift can be combined with the removal of excess skin.

The duration of the complex restoration of the figure after losing weight in the clinic of Andrey Kharkov is 180 minutes.

Rehabilitation period

After surgery, the patient stays in the hospital of the clinic of Andrey Kharkov for two days, under the supervision of medical personnel. In the future, the recovery period (the main stage lasts from 20 to 30 days) continues at home.

The patient must wear special compression garments for four weeks. The stitches are removed after 10 days – on the areola, after 14 days – on the navel.

After surgery, painful sensations may be present. They go away on their own or through the use of medication prescribed by your doctor.

  The rehabilitation period is accompanied by certain restrictions:

• It is forbidden to lift weights and play sports.
• Do not visit sauna, swimming pool, solarium. Sunbathing is forbidden.
