What is Aesthetic Procedures After Morbid Obesity?
Severe obesity (morbid obesity) is a consequence of modern life and, increasing steadily in society, has become an important health problem. The fact that it affects personal health very negatively, lowering quality of life, shortening life expectancy and reducing productivity, makes it important for public health. In addition, in modern societies the burden that the money spent because of morbid obesity places on the economy is being calculated, and this issue is being addressed more and more.
Although preventing morbid obesity is the ideal approach, it is also essential to treat people whose body mass index rises above 40 (normal is 25). After the metabolic surgery operations performed on this group of patients, patients enter a period of rapid weight loss.
Following a weight-loss period of about 1-1.5 years, the patient has got rid of the excess weight and reaches a metabolically more stable period. Aesthetic surgery is essential to eliminate the skin sagging that forms in individuals who have undergone metabolic surgery because of morbid obesity and have got rid of their considerable excess weight.
The aesthetic operations needed to correct the sagging skin after morbid obesity must be performed in a certain order. Since these patients need lift operations with tissue removal from both the front and the back in the same session, if the operation is started with the patient face down, they must then be turned onto their back, and if it is started on their back, they must then be turned face down. My personal preference is, as far as possible, to correct the abdomen-waist-hip region, the breast-back region, the arms and the legs in separate sessions. However, if combined operations must be performed, I think it is more appropriate to combine the abdomen-waist-hip region with the arms, and the breast-back region with the legs.
It is ideal for aesthetic procedures after morbid obesity to be performed after the patients have lost all their weight. However, if patients who cannot move comfortably because of their sagging skin further increase their physical activity after getting rid of this skin and continue to lose weight, some further sagging may occur in the firmness achieved with the aesthetic operations. In such cases, it is possible to give patients a firmer and more aesthetic appearance again with minor revisions.
