Increasing Demand for Aesthetics After Pandemic

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Operator Dr. Salih Onur Basat stated that, after the pandemic period, the interest in plastic surgery increased.

Aesthetic surgery and self-confidence …

With the addition of inactivity, staying at home for a long time and an irregular lifestyle caused weight gain. People who spent time in front of the mirror and were more interested in themselves noticed the deformations in their bodies.

In addition, weight gain due to unbalanced or improper diet had negative effects, especially around the hips, abdomen and waist.

Body shaping operations against regional fats gained importance in this period. Therefore, the demand for plastic surgery increased during the normalization process. Operations change according to the person and region …

The restructuring of body contours, correction of contours, proportionality and body shaping can be achieved by liposuction.

Liposuction is not slimming; it is the removal of regional fat from the body, that is, body shaping. Thanks to the developing equipment and ultrasound technology, patients can have a faster recovery period with the Vaser Liposuction procedure and can continue their lives with a more proportional body line.

Lipofilling process is the process of reusing the fat taken from the body in the person’s own body as filling. When combined with Vaser liposuction, the waist area can be thinned, the excess fat cells taken can be used to give fullness to the hips and breasts, to remove the curvature of the legs, to fill the lines on the face or to plump the lips.

In addition to gaining an aesthetically beautiful appearance, efficient results against reduced retraction can be achieved, resulting in a tighter and higher quality structure of the skin.

Factors such as sudden weight loss can also cause body shape disproportion, indented, protruding and loose connective tissue. In such cases, the three-dimensional liposuction process comes into play.

On the one hand, both layers of adipose tissue can be corrected by tunneling technique, and on the other hand, tightening of the connective tissue.

For this reason, three-dimensional liposuction can be performed not only in deep adipose tissue, but also in superficial adipose tissue and in areas close to subcutaneous connective tissue in order to tighten with fine-tipped cannulas. With this application, a more tense skin structure can be obtained.

The process of returning to normal life …

Patients are dressed in corsets after surgery. This corset is removed after 3-4 weeks. It is important to enable compression and to compress it with corsets. This way, the accumulation of edema between the layers for tightening is prevented.

After the liquid between the layers is absorbed, retraction occurs, cracks are reduced, a smoother and tighter skin structure is obtained. Afterwards, sports can be started within 2 to 3 weeks, while walking and light physical activities can be done freely within 2-3 days.

Another issue, especially in the summer, is the effect of these procedures on vacation. Although it varies from person to person, it is possible to sunbathe comfortably after 3 to 6 weeks, and after 10-15 days, it is possible to swim.
