What is cosmetic body surgery?
Body surgery is “cosmetic” in nature when it is performed for aesthetic reasons, rather than for a health reason. There are many types of body surgery that patients may seek for different reasons. Some may be concerned about excess fat in certain areas, such as the thighs or arms. Others may wish to reduce excess skin in the abdomen. Additionally, some may desire a more targeted approach to help reduce unwanted fat tissue.
Whatever the case, Dr Rastogi is here to guide you and ensure you understand your options. Speak to Dr Rastogi to learn which options may suit your individual desires.
Who is a suitable candidate?
This may vary between each procedure, based on the patient’s needs and desired outcomes. However, there are some things to keep in mind if you are interested in cosmetic surgery. You should be mindful of factors such as:
1. Health status
Patients should aim to be in good general health before their surgery. The better the patient’s health, the more readily their body will be able to heal afterwards. For this reason, Dr Rastogi usually suggests that patients have a healthy and stable BMI, as well as a balanced diet.
2. Smoking status
Dr Rastogi advises patients to refrain from smoking for several weeks after, as well as before their procedure. This is because smoking can slow down the body’s healing process.
3. Expectations
Patients will need to discuss what they expect from their surgery with Dr Rastogi. It is important to develop a sensible vision of the possible outcomes of surgery.
4. Knowledge of risks and aftercare
Patients should know what to expect during recovery, as well as what can go wrong. Cosmetic surgery is elective, which means patients must know the risks and recovery involved in order to make an informed choice.
Potential surgical risks
Ensure that you are aware of the potential risks that come with your procedure. Potential risks include:
- Slow healing
- Large scars
- Undesired outcomes
- Infection or bleeding
- Prolonged swelling
- Seroma
- Nerve damage
- Further surgery
Types of body procedures
Common body procedures include surgeries such as:
Abdominoplasty
This surgery removes excess tissue from the abdomen area and usually involves an incision across the lower abdomen.
Liposuction
Liposuction aims to remove fat from unwanted areas. Dr Rastogi can perform this procedure in different areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms.
Liposuction for men
Fat is often distributed differently between men and women. Liposuction for men aims to target certain areas based on the male patient’s cosmetic goals.
Vaser Liposuction
This procedure is similar to liposuction, but it focuses on precision. Dr Rastogi uses special equipment and techniques to address specific cosmetic concerns.
If you are unsure which procedure would work for you, a consultation with Dr Rastogi is incredibly important. This will allow you to openly discuss potential procedures and areas of concern and answer any questions you may have.
