    Best plastic surgeon for skin tightening surgery

    Nowadays, it is not difficult to obtain a toned and ideal body unlike it was in the past since modern techniques no longer depend only on exercise and diet, but rather on getting rid of stubborn fat and skin tightening.

    Despite the spread of modern methods, choosing the best plastic surgeon is a challenge for many.  Dr. Yasser Badi, the expert and plastic surgeon for facial and body cosmetic surgeries, is an undisputed choice after more than 1,150 successful operations in various plastic surgeries, especially the skin tightening procedure.

    What is the relationship between the skin tightening procedure and sleeve gastrectomy?

    Significant weight loss following sleeve gastrectomy surgery leads to some sagging in the body, which gives the body a bad appearance and unaccepted changes in its shape, giving the person an older age than he is.

    This procedure is the quickest and most effective solution to get rid of these ridiculous sags, and help you reach the ideal shape that you have always dreamed of.

    The tightening procedure gives initial results within several weeks and final results within several months after the operation.

    But a successful skin tightening procedure requires choosing the best plastic surgeon to perform it, who is highly competent in his field and follows the latest modern technologies since this operation requires extreme precision and high skills.

    Dr. Yasser Badi, the best plastic surgeon in Alexandria, is keen to carry out the operation using the most modern techniques to give you noticeable results in hiding any signs of sagging in the body in any area.

    Risks of sagging

    Contrary to what is expected, skin tightening is not performed for aesthetic issues only, rather, the risk of the presence of these sagging extends to a risk of various skin diseases occurring.

    Skin rashes and skin irritation are the most common types of problems resulting from saggy skin, since many folds of sagging skin trap sweat between them, and with friction, cause an itchy rash and boils, which may be accompanied by pain and swelling.

    In some cases, loose skin leads to the presence of a very warm and sweaty environment between the folds of the skin, which helps microbes to grow easily and quickly that might develop into skin infections in various forms, including:

    • Bacterial skin infection.
    • Fungal skin infection.
    • Viral skin infection.
    • Parasitic skin infection.

    Therefore, the plastic surgeon performs skin tightening procedures not only for cosmetic issues but also to prevent any diseases that the exacerbation of this problem may cause by getting a healthy, tight body without annoying skin sags.

    Common body areas require tightening after sleeve mastectomy procedure

    Although there are some other solutions to tighten saggy skin after massive weight loss at home, whether after sleeve mastectomy surgery or due to significant loss with any other cause.

    However, none of these methods will work as effectively as skin tightening procedures work.

    The process of tightening sagging varies in general from one person to another according to the degree of sagging in each part. Some require tightening of all parts of the body, while others may require tightening of specific parts of the body such as (arms, thighs, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen).

    The tummy tuck operation is considered the most common among the various tightening operations, as it is the largest center for fat accumulation in the body. Therefore, the skin in this area expands greatly when weight is gained. The skin in this area becomes much more flabby than the rest of the body and requires careful surgical intervention from the best plastic surgeon.

    Skin tightening procedures generally depend on getting rid of excess sagging skin and tightening the muscles to improve the shape of the skin and restore it to a firm, taut shape, which is exactly what happens in the abdomen or any other area of ​​the body.

    Are the results of the lift procedure permanent?

    The answer to this question is indeed yes, however, you should maintain a healthy, balanced diet and exercise to avoid any major fluctuations in weight.

    Tightening surgery is considered one of the most successful operations in the field of cosmetics, as its success rate reaches 90%. The final result of the operation appears within 3 months, but it may take longer depending on the degree of sagging.

    The success of the operation depends not only on choosing the best plastic surgeon but also on the patient’s commitment to carefully follow the surgeon’s instructions, especially during the recovery period. The upper area usually requires less time in the lower region recovery.

    How long does the operation take?

    Before answering this question, we must focus on this operation’s steps. 

    • The process begins with general anesthesia, and it is possible to undergo spinal anesthesia when tightening the thighs only. After that, the doctor makes the surgical incision, and the shape of the wound varies according to the area to be tightened and according to the size of the skin to be removed.
    • Since this operation requires special skill in hiding the wounds as much as possible that will turn into scars later, you must choose the best plastic surgeon to perform this operation with as many hidden scars as possible.
    • After making the incisions, the excess skin is cut off and the remaining two layers of skin are attached using surgical sutures to close the incisions. Then appropriate tubes are placed in them to collect any fluids or blood that collects in the wound after the operation.
    • These same steps are repeated in every area of the body that needs tightening, and more than one area can be worked on at the same time through an integrated medical team. Therefore, the operation time varies according to the number of places in which the tightening will be performed and the number of doctors operating.

    Who can perform the skin tightening procedure?

    This operation is not limited to women only but also includes men. However, this requires that the patient be in good health, have a stable weight about 6 months before the operation, and the patient should be over 18 years old.

    However, in some cases, it is recommended to postpone the decision for the operation for some people who are planning for pregnancy or need to lose more weight. In addition, undergoing surgery with severe scars in some places may be an obstacle for some.

    Therefore, you must choose the best plastic surgeon to make the right decision whether you are qualified to undergo this technique or not.

    Why is Dr. Yasser Badi the best plastic surgeon to perform this procedure?

    After a long record of successful operations, Dr. Yasser Badi deserved the title of best plastic surgeon. This title was not the result of coincidence, but rather due to his keen interest and concern for all the details related to the patient from the moment he arrived at the clinic.

    He also cares about using the best equipment and techniques to perform surgeries in complete safety and with a high level of precision. He is also keen to choose an anesthesia and nursing team with the highest levels of efficiency to ensure the provision of the best medical care.

  • The results of belly liposuction

    The results of belly liposuction

    Many advantages and good results result from liposuction, which raises many questions about these procedures, especially liposuction from the abdomen, but the most important and frequently asked question by obese patients is when will the results of belly liposuction appear? The patient is looking for a date to reap the fruits of this process, which is to get rid of that fat and get a consistent body.

    Types of Liposuctions

    Dr. Yasser Badi says there are many types of belly liposuction, but there are three types of them that are the most famous, namely:

    Results of belly liposuction in the traditional method

    Dr. Yasser Badi says that the results of belly liposuction in the traditional way appear in two stages. The first is called the preliminary results and appears immediately after the operation, but in a slight way.

    The second is called the final results and appears after the procedure, with the patient following some special instructions such as exercising, following a healthy diet, and wearing an abdominal corset.

    Laser belly liposuction 

    Belly liposuction using a laser is a more advanced method than the traditional method. In this method, fat is broken down by thermal rays emitted from the laser device. Dr. Yasser Badi says that the results of belly liposuction using a laser are visible immediately after the operation, and after several weeks, the final results appear.

    What distinguishes this method from the traditional method of belly liposuction is that the tumors and bruises after the operation are less than in the traditional method, so the amount of fluids quickly decreases, the tissue heals, and the size of swelling decreases with a commitment to wearing a corset and following a healthy diet.

    Results of Vaser belly liposuction

    From the point of view of Dr. Yasser Badi, the VASER technique is the most recent in the field of belly liposuction, as several other more modern techniques have emerged from it, including tightening the body, sculpting it, and drawing its curves. 

    These terms abbreviate the process of suction and sculpting together in one term.

    Regarding the results of this operation, Dr. Yasser says that it is the fastest of all, provided that the instructions are followed, as the results appear in less than two months.

    Belly liposuction When will the results appear

    Liposuction and tummy tuck

    In the case of simple sagging, the liposuction process using Vaser performs the task of tightening the skin. In cases of severe sagging, abdominoplasty is performed with liposuction. After completing the procedure, the results begin to appear significantly, and in a period not exceeding one month, the final results appear.

    Factors on which belly liposuction results depend

    The emergence of results after belly liposuction depends on several factors that Dr. Yasser Badi summarizes as follows:

    • The extent of the patient’s commitment to following the special instructions after the operation and wearing an abdominal corset is the most prominent and important.
    • The ability to recover varies from one patient to another, which results in a difference in the time required for recovery and the final results.
    • The difference in the degree of skin elasticity.
    • One of the most important factors affecting the recovery period is avoiding unhealthy habits such as smoking.

    Some tips to maintain liposuction results

    Dr. Yasser Badi mentioned that belly liposuction, like any surgical procedure, must follow some special instructions to preserve the results of this procedure, and the most important of these instructions are:

    • It is necessary to commit to wearing a corset and compression garments for a period specified by the doctor.
    • You should avoid eating unhealthy foods and follow a proper diet.
    • Practicing specific and appropriate sports.
    • Drink plenty of fluids to help lose weight and reduce swelling.
    • Refrain from smoking and get an appropriate amount of sleep.

    Duration of wearing the corset after the operation

    In a question about the importance of wearing a corset after performing a belly liposuction surgery, Dr. Yasser Badi answers and says:

    After performing the belly liposuction procedure, it is normal for some bruises and swelling to appear, so it is recommended to wear a corset to reduce the size of these bruises and reduce swelling. As for the duration of wearing the corset, there are two options, the first is to wear the corset for one to two months, and the second is to wear the corset for three to four weeks.

    However, the corset is gradually dispensed with, as follows:

    • It is recommended to wear the corset throughout the day after the operation for a period of three weeks to a month and to take it off when taking a shower only.
    • After that, the corset is worn during the day only, and it is taken off during sleep for three weeks, according to what the doctor deems appropriate.

    Complications of belly liposuction

    Although belly liposuction operations are widespread in many parts of the world, this does not preclude the existence of some risks that the patient may be exposed to. Yasser Badi says that the patient may be exposed to the following cases:

    • Bleeding during the procedure.
    • Damage to nerves, blood vessels, or muscles.
    • Retention and accumulation of fluids in the body.
    • Feeling numb.
    • The occurrence of swelling in the body.
    • Loss of sensation in the skin at the site of surgery.
    • Non-healing of the wound.
    • Not getting the desired results.
    • Blood clots inside the veins in the lungs or in the legs for example.
    • Risks and damage to the kidneys and heart resulting from the use of lidocaine.

    Conditions for undergoing liposuction

    Many who want to lose weight do not know that several conditions must be checked before undergoing a belly liposuction procedure, and these conditions are:

    • The person does not suffer from any chronic disease such as diabetes, pressure, or autoimmune diseases.
    • The person should not belong to the category of smokers, and if he is one of them, he should quit smoking some time before the operation.
    • The patient’s weight should not exceed 30% of the ideal weight.
    • The patient should have flexible and healthy skin.

    The purpose of belly liposuction

    Dr. Yasser Badi mentioned that belly liposuction is a first-class cosmetic procedure, but there are several motives behind performing this procedure, namely:

    • Pregnancy, causes the abdomen to expand and thus promotes the accumulation of fat.
    • Cesarean section and the resulting accumulation of layers of fat around the wound to help it heal.
    • Hormonal disorders are due to aging and the accumulation of fat in vulnerable areas of the body, including the abdominal area.
    • Unhealthy eating habits lead to fat accumulation while burning fewer calories.
    • Not exercising regularly, makes the chance of fat accumulation much easier in that area.

    clinics and prices for these operations

    The best place to perform belly liposuction is Dr. Yasser Badi Center, which is one of the best plastic surgeons in Egypt and the Middle East in the field of liposuction, body sculpting, and body contouring.

    Dr. Yasser Badi’s center has also been equipped with the latest modern technologies used in plastic surgery. The center provides high-quality medical care through the highly qualified nursing staff.

    Regarding the prices of these operations in Egypt, the prices of simple operations start from (12,500) pounds, while the prices of common operations range between (40,000, and 70,000) pounds, and complex or more difficult operations may cost up to (100,000) pounds.

    Belly liposuction is a cosmetic procedure, but it is not, as some people think, a way to treat obesity or lose weight, but it is a way to help get rid of a specific amount of fat that traditional methods and methods did not succeed in getting rid of, and therefore it does not give the desired results without following a healthy and sound lifestyle.
