Are You looking for Body Skin Tightening? Don’t Look Any Further!

Losing excess weight form the body feels amazing, but it also brings a string of problems with it, the most prominent ones being the loose skin and distorted body-shape. These can rarely be corrected through workout or diet regimes. The only effective remedy to this is surgical body tightening skin or body contouring.

After a substantial amount of weight loss from the body, be it through exercise and diet or bariatric surgery, the skin loses its elasticity and hangs loose on various body parts. This can be distressing after all the weight you have lost to look good.

Are the body contouring procedures painful and risky?

There are no potential risks involved, however, the recovery periods are extremely crucial where one must follow the instruction given by the surgeon to the T. During the procedures, anaesthetic administrations help to eliminate any discomfort or pain. Post surgery, pain and discomfort are taken care by the pain-killers and other external applications prescribed by the doctor.

What happens in the recovery period?

After the procedures, when the patient steps into the recovery process, small thin tubes are placed under the skin to drain out any excess fluids that may collect in internal skin folds. The surgeon notes down a set of instructions to follow and avoid any complications. These include application of topical medication, consumption of oral medicines to aid the healing, sleeping and resting in certain positions depending upon the surgery site, to avoid physical activities such as bending, lifting and straining the body for several weeks and the time to resume, follow-up dates and regular check-ups, walking as much to avoid blood clotting and accelerate blood circulation, and drinking plenty of fluids to help to build the mobility in veins and muscles.

What are the surgical steps involved in body skin tightening?

The usual steps are anaesthetic administration; the choices include intravenous sedation and general anaesthesia, followed by making the incisions to remove excess folds of skin and then stitching the rest of the skin to give a tightened and firm appearance to the body part. All body skin tightening procedures require large incisions to remove excess skin. In many cases, these incisions may be extensive and are based upon the area being treated.
