Will My Skin Loosen or Sag After Liposuction?
Skin sagging and loosening may occur after liposuction surgery. To prevent this, a detailed evaluation of the patient should be conducted prior to the procedure.
A specialist aesthetic doctor should conduct a consultation with the patient prior to liposuction. During the consultation, the doctor should evaluate the patient’s pictures, videos, physical information, age, and medical history.
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the belly, back, waist, hips, jowls, arms, and legs. Skilled plastic surgeons prioritize body symmetry when using the liposuction method to remove stubborn fat from problem areas. The 360 liposuction rule is a technique commonly used by expert plastic surgeons.
Patients with a high BMI should exercise caution when considering liposuction
Skin sagging and loosening after liposuction surgery can be caused by performing the procedure on overweight patients or those with excess fat in the targeted area. To avoid this, it is important for the doctor to conduct a thorough analysis before performing liposuction. Clinic Health Beauty plastic surgeons believe that performing liposuction on patients with a body mass index over 30 can have negative effects on both health and results.
Skin quality should be assessed for liposuction
When patients come to Turkey for liposuction from all over the world, it’s important to evaluate their skin and body types separately due to differences in skin structure. African-American patients have different body and skin types compared to Asian-White women, while patients of European origin have their own unique body and skin structures. Recovery times and results of liposuction may differ between patients with dark or light skin. Consulting and exchanging ideas with an expert aesthetic doctor is crucial when evaluating these factors. The doctor should have experience with various skin and body structures.
Liposuction or Tummy Tuck?
Some patients may believe that liposuction can improve their large abdomen. Please refer to the pictures below for further explanation.
“Your plastic surgeon is the best person to provide the most accurate answer to whether liposuction or a tummy tuck is the right choice for you.”
The image depicts a patient with abdominal issues. The patient weighs 92 kg and is 178 cm tall, resulting in a BMI of 29. While this ratio may indicate suitability for liposuction or tummy tuck surgery, a closer examination of the patient’s belly photo reveals that fat is not only present under the skin but also in the abdomen and internal organs. As a result, liposuction may not be a suitable option for this patient. Liposuction can only remove subcutaneous fat, not internal fat. Therefore, it may not be beneficial for patients with internal fat, both in terms of health and outcome. It is important to note that even if a patient’s body mass index is normal, liposuction may not be a suitable option for those with a belly caused by internal fat. In this case, we recommend that the patient undergo a diet and exercise regimen. The patient should be re-evaluated after the internal fat issue has been resolved.
The image shows sagging skin and fat accumulation in the waist and hip areas. Based on the patient’s body mass index of 30, she is a suitable candidate for tummy tuck and 360-degree liposuction procedures, provided she does not have any chronic diseases. Not all patients will have a sagging abdomen as depicted in the picture. It is up to the plastic surgeon to determine whether liposuction or a tummy tuck is necessary.
The image above illustrates excess fat in the abdomen and waist area, with a BMI of 28 and no visible sagging. This makes the patient a suitable candidate for liposuction.
J Plasma Recommended
J Plasma technique may be recommended for patients who are likely to experience sagging after liposuction. This procedure can be combined with liposuction. J Plasma is a cutting-edge technology that tightens and firms the skin.
