Body Surgery Sydney NSW
Body Surgery aims to help to alter your figure, changing the shape and tone, and ultimately your appearamce.
body surgery uses a range of techniques, with the aim of removing excess fat, the reduction of sagging skin and tissue, or a combination of the two.
Unfortunately sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise, it can be difficult to lose weight in certain areas of the body. This may be due to hereditary factors, pregnancy, ageing, or simply the natural shape of your body.
Areas treated by body surgery procedures include the neck, upper arms, breasts (both male and female), abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees and ankles. Multiple areas may be targeted at once or in a series of procedures, particularly post-weight loss.
All Body Contouring Procedures
Abdominoplasty
This is one of Dr Hunt’s most common procedures, driven primarily by mothers whose bodies haven’t recovered post-pregnancy.
Body Liposuction
Sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise, you’re left with stubborn pockets of fat that just won’t shift.
Skin removal after Massive Weight Loss
Surgery to remove excess skin after substantial weight loss may be an option for patients wishing to complement their weight loss efforts.
Lower Body Lift Torsoplasty Surgery
Lower body lift, also known as lower torsoplasty surgery aims to address sagging skin around the bottom, thighs, hips and tummy.
Thigh Lift (Thighplasty) Surgery
Thigh lift (thighplasty) may be a solution for patients wishing to address loose skin folds on the upper legs and thighs.
Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Loose skin on the upper arms are a natural result of ageing and weight loss. Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure to address this concern.
Labiaplasty by Dr Maryam
Labia Reduction can help improve comfort and alter the appearance of the labia.
What are Body Procedures?
From liposuction to abdominoplasty and from arms lift (brachioplasty) to thigh lift (thighplasty), there are a number of of body contouring procedures that are available to patients.
Among the most common body procedures, we can also mention lower body lift (torsoplasty) and labiaplasty, but also Post Pregnancy Surgery and plastic surgery after massive weight loss. Post pregnancy surgery is a set of plastic surgery procedures performed in the same operative setting to help you get back your pre-pregnancy body. Most often, the post pregnancy procedure includes liposuction, abdominoplasty, and a breast lift mastopexy, but this intervention is highly individualised.
As for plastic surgery after weight loss, this intervention is designed to help reduce the excess skin following massive weight loss. This intervention can combine an abdominoplasty with upper arms lift (brachioplasty) and even breast procedures if necessary.
How are Body Contouring Procedures Performed?
Aside from liposuction, all body contouring interventions are complex procedures performed with the patient under general anaesthesia. Depending on the type of procedure to be performed and the patient’s characteristics, the intervention can last up to six hours in some cases. Generally speaking, procedures that are performed in combination, such as Post-Pregnancy Surgery and plastic surgery after weight loss, take more time to be performed.
Body procedures entail incisions in the areas targeted. The incisions are generally well-hidden in the natural folds of the skin or in areas where they will be difficult to notice. For example, when the upper arm lift (brachioplasty) surgery is performed, Dr Hunt makes incisions on the interior part of the arms. When the scar healing process is completed, they generally look like fine lines.
Why Patients Might Consider Body Surgery
There are multiple reasons why patients might consider undergoing these procedures, such as:
- Removal of unwanted fat deposits
- Altering the appearance of the abdominal area with abdominoplasty
- Altering the aspect of legs with a thigh lift (thighplasty)
- Addressing the skin on the arms with an arm lift (brachioplasty) surgery
Recovery after Body Surgery
The recovery period after body surgery is highly dependent on the complexity of the procedure performed. Expect a certain level of discomfort to occur during the first few days post-op.
It is best to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first week or two after body contouring surgery and make sure to take time off from work to allow your body to heal. Here are more recommendations for the recovery period after plastic surgery:
- Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks
- Avoid steam rooms and saunas
- Have a healthy and balanced diet
- Keep your body hydrated
To avoid risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period make sure to follow Dr Hunt’s indications.
