There, you toiled away in the gym, stuck to a strict diet diet and indeed reduced your weight by several kilos - yet you're still not satisfied with what you see in the mirror. Belly, thighs, even upper arms present anything but an aesthetic and well-proportioned appearance: While fat deposits have vanished, now unattractive skin folds hang down; proper skin pockets have formed. This excess skin stubbornly remains even with intense gymnastics or fitness exercises in places where it doesn't belong. Many young mothers also get annoyed by such a non-optimal appearance after childbirth, and a hereditary latent connective tissue weakness can also be a cause.
An operation by an experienced Plastic Surgeon ends the dilemma: In doing so, the surgeon essentially takes an exact inventory of the excess skin and fat tissue before removing it. In many cases, a liposuction in certain areas, the success of the treatment. Special cutting techniques guarantee that only barely visible scars remain.
1. Areas where the fat is suctioned (back above the buttocks, on the back of the thighs, directly under the buttock fold, and on the hips) 2. Incision (small cut 0.5 – 1 cm) 3. Cannula 4. Vacuum
One of the most commonly requested procedures in this context is the abdominoplasty. The doctor not only removes excess tissue and tightens the abdominal wall, but the navel is usually repositioned. Even a so-called fatty apron can be removed in this way.
Especially Women over 40 often complain about large skin folds on their upper arms and sagging tissue on their thighs, despite targeted dieting and consistent physical training not wanting to disappear. Depending on the initial situation, the surgeon can perform a small or a large tightening by making the appropriate incision.
