Cosmetic Surgery to Correct Basic Shape and Form Defects
Many women are dissatisfied with
the shape or size of their breasts for one reason or
another. If you are thinking along the lines of having
cosmetic surgery for your problem, remember that some
size and shape differences are normal and while breast
implants will increase the size, they won’t correct
basic shape and form defects. It is possible to have
other forms of corrective surgery for that.
The breast implant operation is carried
out under general anaesthetic and involves the insertion
of the implant by means of a small incision under the
breast, the armpit or even the belly-button area. The
implant is made of silicone that is filled with a saline
solution. The shape is based on the individual needs
of the patient.
Cosmetic surgery can also be used to
correct Gynecomastia, a condition affecting 40/60 percent
of men in the USA, where fatty deposits due usually
to an inherited factor cause enlarged breasts. This
is called Liposculpture surgery and is a fairly recent
development that will restore a thinner, more masculine
contour to the chest.
After surgery the patient must wear
a snug-fitting garment for several weeks. This will
minimize bruising and swelling and help the skin to
shrink more quickly. Return to work varies depending
on the job. Office workers can return sooner than those
doing more physically challenging work.
Whether you body has succumbed to the
forces of gravity, or whether your shape is due to a
diet too high in saturated fats, a tummy tuck might
be just what you need. But don’t make the decision
too lightly. Tummy tucks might sound simple and easy,
but any operation that requires a general anaesthetic
should be considered serious. For this reason, never
be afraid to ask about your surgeon’s qualifications
and experience.
Basically, a skilled professional trained
in this field, excises folds of loose skin and fat,
having previously marked the areas to be cut out. Slack
muscles are then tightened before the operation is complete.
The incision is usually made along the bikini line;
the skin is pulled down and afterwards secured with
several rows of sutures to minimize scarring. Fat may
be harvested at the same time and frozen for use in
a future Lipo-suction operation. This possibility should
be discussed with the surgeon beforehand.
Other operations to remove sagging skin
can be carried out on the thighs, upper arms and neck
area. Face-lifts can be used to remove wrinkles and
lift sagging areas and scarring is usually minimal,
but if indulged in too often, the whole face can become
a ghastly caricature of what Mother Nature intended.
