Circular tightening of the skin of the body is a very complex operation, so it is not done at the request of the patient.
Torsoplasty is necessary after "extreme" weight loss, in which in a short period (from 0.5 to 1 year) the patient loses 30-40 kilograms. This problem is not only a cosmetic drawback: increased sweating and infection of the skin can lead to the formation of ulcers, pressure sores, erosion.
Circular body lift lasts 4-8 hours and all this time the patient is under general anesthesia. At the beginning of the operation, the surgeon marks the problem areas, after which the skin is cut according to the plan. Part of the skin is removed along with the adipose tissue, and the remnants are fixed in a new position. After the correction of muscles and hernias on the abdomen, the navel is transferred to a new place.
To consolidate the result, shingles are used that run along the entire line of "bikini".
If necessary, bodylifting is supplemented by liposuction (in case of uneven adipose tissue) and mastopexy.
Torsoplasty, photos before and after which can be found in the list of works of our clinic, is a fairly extensive operation that needs a significant rehabilitation period.
For most patients, the length of stay in the hospital is from 2 to 5 days. To relieve pain and discomfort, intravenous or intramuscular painkillers are first used, which after a while are replaced with tablets.
The key to the normal course of the rehabilitation period is the strict implementation of the instructions received from the attending physician. So, if necessary, you need to constantly wear a special squeezing bandage. It is also necessary to limit physical activity and exclude the lifting of loads whose weight exceeds 3 kg. If desired, the patient can take walks, but it is not recommended to exercise, visit a bath, sauna, pool until the wounds are completely healed.
Like any serious operation, torsoplasty can lead to the development of a number of complications, which can be divided into the following types:
The appearance after a circular body lift of noticeable scars and scars, which after 6-12 months become paler, is inevitable. If you follow the doctor's instructions and hygiene rules, the rest of the consequences of the operation may not appear at all.
