Body remodeling after weight loss: here are the most requested operations and health results

<! – ->

They lose a lot of weight: naturally or after using bariatric surgery. But once found harmony with the scales, many ex-obese may feel the need for a new touch, this time of an aesthetic nature.

This explains the increasing increase in body remodeling operations along the peninsula. "The increase in demand stems essentially from two factors: on the one hand the increase in the obese population, on the other hand the new bariatric surgery techniques which led to an increase in the number of operable patients, "says Adriana Cordova, director of the plastic bad surgery unit at Paolo Giaccone polyclinic in Palermo and president of the Italian Society of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

In summary, compared to the past, more people now feel the need to eliminate excess lining tissue as a result of significant weight loss, desiring a more harmonious body.

The clbadification of interventions

The point on this branch of plastic surgery, which concerns patients who also lost 40-50 kilograms, was made at the National Congress of the Italian Association of obesity cosmetic surgery, held in Turin. These are interventions that are determined by functional needs, but that can also determine an aesthetic improvement.

Soft and gutted tissues effectively limit movements and make it difficult to maintain personal hygiene, interfering with normal daily activities. On the basis of the findings gathered during a survey of specialists, the most successful intervention on an ex-obese is liposuction, followed by an abdominoplasty (for which the l? abdomen is remodeled) and mastopexy (bad lift).

To justify the "success" of liposuction, the fact that this intervention is often performed in combination with those of remodeling, further improves the final result.

"In any case, the surgical path that allows an ex-obese to find a harmonious silhouette in full functionality takes place in several stages – stresses Cordova. The interventions to be supported are different and, always in the name of security, they can not take place during the same operating session. "

The need to rely on expert hands

The scientific comparison revealed the increase in interventions in institutions affiliated with the national health service. From one region to another, interventions on obese people are generally supported by the National Health Service.

"43% of plastic surgeons who intervene on an ex-obese job at the 39% of the surgeons who worked at the hospital two years ago, explains Maria Alessandra Bocchiotti, plastic surgeon at San Lazzaro Hospital in Turin. variation makes us understand that public institutions are unable to meet demand, also taking into account other tasks of plastic surgery departments: with post-traumatic reconstruction that and post-oncological, especially mammary, tops the list. 19659012] The increase in the availability of affiliated institutions is one of the answers to keep under control the lengthening of the waiting lists.

In any case, especially if you go to a private facility, you must be sure of the experience of the surgical team. "The former obese is a difficult patient who has a 30% greater chance of complications and often has a long history of suffering behind him.The information and preparation need to be improved and the diagnostic and therapeutic process more easily accessible.
