Those years of struggling and failed diets are behind you. Perhaps you did it through weight loss surgery. Or, perhaps it was through diet and exercise. Either way, you have created a new body and a new life for yourself. But, now that the weight is gone, are you left with extra skin? If so, it likely causes you embarrassment and perhaps hygiene problems as well. Fortunately, body contouring surgery can help restore a more natural look to your body. The authors of this book, respected plastic surgeons, have performed hundreds of body contouring procedures on weight loss patients, and they understand your concerns as you explore having reconstructive surgery. Among the questions they answer are: &• How soon after surgery can I have excess skin be removed? &• Which surgery should I have first? &• How many surgeries can I have at one time? &• Should I have a tummy tuck or a body lift? &• Will I have much pain after contouring surgery? &• Can my breasts be restored to normal? &• Where will scars from the surgery be visible? &• When can I return to work and resume physical activity? &• What about fees? Will insurance pay? The book contains 136 color illustrations and photos, including dozens of "before & after" photos of surgery patients, as well as an appendix, resource section, glossary, and index.

Download or read book Surgery After Massive Weight Loss written by Anire Okpaku and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple to understand guide about what to expect with Weight Loss and Surgery. Losing weight will improve your health, stamina, and mental disposition in many ways. Just losing a small amount of your current weight can make a difference in the way you feel and look. Why Surgery After Massive Weight Loss? Once you reach your weight loss goals you may not have the fit and healthy body image you desire. Following massive weight loss, the skin and tissues that have been severely stretched over the years, often lack elasticity and cannot readjust to the new, smaller size of the body. As a result, sagging pockets of skin may form around the face, neck and jaw line, at the upper arms, lower back, the abdomen region and around the hips, buttocks, groin area and thighs. The surplus, sagging skin that is left behind after massive weight loss, can cause considerable hygienic problems, skin irritation, skin breakdown, pain and even infection. This loose, sagging skin looks abnormal in most cases and gets in the way of normal activities or movement. After losing the weight, the next stage of this journey is a series of operations called body contouring, where Dr. Okpaku removes the excess tissue, sculpts and restores the body to a more normal, aesthetically pleasing state, and for most patients this is a positive transformation, a dramatic return to health and self-confidence.
Download or read book Body Contouring written by Melvin A. Shiffman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As plastic surgeons, we seek to combine art and science to improve the results we see in clinical practice. Through our artistic sensibilities, we try to understand and obtain aesthetic results. Scientifc analysis provides the data to predict which approaches will be successful and safe. Both art and science connote a high level of skill or mastery. At the present time, our literature is replete with descriptions of specifc pro- dures for body contouring. However, there remains a need for a defnitive reference describing the basic principles to address the complete scope of body contouring including the postbariatric patient and their plastic surgery deformities. Dr. Shiffman and Dr. Di Giuseppe saw this need and sought to address the needs of plastic surgeons faced with the complexities of body contouring surgery. This is a comprehensive text aimed at providing multiple perspectives. The numerous sections, which include a- posity and lipolysis, the breast, abdomen, chest, and buttocks, the extremities, and liposuction, offer various approaches from the foremost authors. Indeed it is with a tremendous amount of skill and mastery that Dr. Shiffman and Dr. Di Giuseppe have successfully edited and collated the numerous contributions to this work. In addition, they have authored individually or, in collaboration, over a dozen of the 87 total chapters. Their combined work as editors and authors are e- dent throughout their text. The fnal result is a comprehensive contribution that will beneft all plastic surgeons seeking to improve their approach to body contouring.
Download or read book Evidence Based Body Contouring Surgery and VTE Prevention written by Eric Swanson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended as a companion to the recently published, Evidence-Based Cosmetic Breast Surgery (978-3-319-53957-7), Evidence-Based Body Contouring Surgery and VTE Prevention once again concentrates on the science, relying on data rather than expert opinion. In his familiar detail-oriented style, Eric Swanson critically evaluates popular body contouring procedures such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and buttock fat transfer. The source material is published in the major peer-reviewed plastic surgery journals. The conclusions frequently challenge conventional wisdom. Fat redistribution theory is dispelled. A unique chapter titled “The Metabolic Effect of Liposuction” reveals some surprising positive effects of liposuction. The limitations of alternative nonsurgical treatments are the subject of a chapter titled “Evaluating New Technologies.” A novel chapter describes SAFE (Spontaneous breathing, Avoid gas, Face up, Extremities mobile) anesthesia as a replacement for traditional general endotracheal anesthesia – lowering risk, minimizing blood loss, and reducing recovery times. The last two chapters will have many readers reconsidering traditional methods of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention. Chapter 12 exposes the shortcomings of risk prediction methods and routine anticoagulation. The final chapter describes the use of ultrasound for VTE surveillance. These chapters will likely find an audience among surgeons from all specialties and anesthesiologists. For scientifically inclined readers, whether seasoned surgeons or residents, this unique resource may well lead to evidence-based changes in their practices.
