What is the difference between Gastric Sleeve surgery and Gastric By-pass surgery?
November 8, 2022Over time , the fat in the body tends to accumulate around the belly more than in other parts of the body , and getting rid of this fat mass that starts to accumulate around the belly is a difficult action . Active diets and exercise routines are helpful activities in solving this problem, but sometimes they are not enough. In this case, the surgical procedures that can be applied come into play. Abdominoplasty and liposuction are among the surgical interventions that can be applied. Both work with the main idea of changing the body lines of the individual to be applied. The biggest difference between the two treatments is the way and reason for the treatment.
Abdominal aesthetic surgery, also known as abdominoplasty; It is a treatment method in which excess fat and skin are removed, the muscle wall in the treated area is strengthened, in short, the abdominal region is completely reshaped. During the treatment, the loosened abdominal muscles are tightened with an incision made from the bikini area, and excess or sagging abdominal skin and adipose tissue are removed. The aim of the operation is to obtain a flat and fit abdomen appearance without scars or sagging.
Liposuction is a treatment aimed at eliminating unwanted or excess fat deposits in different parts of the body. It is performed by inserting thin tubes through micro incisions into the area to be treated. These tubes are connected to a vacuum machine that draws unwanted fat without damaging the structure of the tissues around that area. After this procedure is performed, the small incisions created in the treated area are sutured without leaving any scars and the treatment is completed.
Although both treatments share the goal of eliminating excess fat mass from the body, they are applied for different purposes. Tummy tuck therapy is a comprehensive treatment that aims to reshape the belly area, including excess fat deposits, skin folds and abdominal muscles. However, liposuction operation applied to the abdominal region provides more fat removal than abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) operation and does not have an effect on problems such as muscle and skin accumulations in the region. Liposuction treatment is also called gynecomastia in case of breast enlargement in men. It is a method that can also be used to eliminate fat accumulations in different parts of the body. Therefore, liposuction operation is a much more general treatment than tummy tuck operation. Tummy tuck treatment is a more localized operation aimed only at perfecting the abdominal area.
It should not be forgotten that the purpose of both treatment methods is not to lose weight, but to shape the body. Regardless of the treatment, removing fat can provide weight loss, but tummy tuck and liposuction operations are not weight loss treatments. Both treatments should be preferred by the people to be treated, after local fats lost with active diets and routine exercises, due to fat accumulations that cannot be lost or can cause unwanted images, the processes in both operations should be investigated very well, and the person should choose the most appropriate treatment method according to him/ her .
Which Technique Is More Appropriate?
If you just need to remove a large amount of fat, liposuction is probably your best bet or if you have less fat deposits and loose abdominal muscles and abdominal skin, a tummy tuck is definitely more suited to your needs.
Often it is quite common to combine both techniques to maximize results: first, the liposuction method is used to remove the fat, and then abdominoplasty is performed to reconstruct the abdominal wall.
What are the Advantages of Abdominoplasty?
- The sagging abdominal skin stays taut as it has recovered.
- The inner abdominal muscles are strengthened, so the deterioration in the body is eliminated.
- Body fat is prevented. Minimize the Risks for Certain Medical Conditions.
- A beautiful body appearance is achieved with a tense abdominal structure and an aesthetic body.
What are the advantages of liposuction?
Liposuction, like other aesthetic operations, offers certain advantages to the person after the procedure. The advantages of liposuction are as follows:
- The person gains an aesthetic and beautiful appearance by getting rid of excess weight.
- After the operation, people return to their daily lives about a week later. They can go on with their lives without pain
Had hair transplant with Gozde hospital. Everything was in order. The hospital and the hotel were way above average. Good value for the price. Recommended.
Flew from Glasgow to Izmir for the operation. They picked me up from the airport. Immediately headed to the hotel to spend the night and rest before the operation very next morning. When I first stepped in to the hospital, I instantly realised that I made the right choice. The hospital was so perfect that I have never been in a hospital like that before. Had my breast augmentation surgery just a week ago, almost completely healed and my breasts are just amazing. I can't stop looking at them in the mirror. I would like to thank to my coordinator, lovely nurses, and the surgeon. 5 star experience from start to finish
After my terrible experince in Dominican republic, I was bit afraid and reluctant having another surgery abroad. Months of research, planning and long conversations with my surgeon, finally felt confident with Gozde hospitals. My main concern was communication. Due to lack of communcation my nose shape was not like I requested at all. Left with a huge bump at the tip of my nose. Thankfully I was able to have video call consultations on Zoom with my surgeon at Gozde hospital. He eased all the hesitation and I felt like we are on the same page. I only had one chance with this surgery because the secondary surgeries are harder than the first one. It has been just 3 weeks for now but I love the shape of my nose, it is good to be feel confident again after all those years
Having a big family was always my dream and I can say that I fulfilled that dream. But after my 4th child, my body was not representing my age at all. Even though I am in my 40's my tummy and breasts were sagging like I am in my 60's. The frustration was great and I was afraid of mirrors. Never went to swimming with my children. I was insecure about my appearance and decided to change that. Kusadasi is our favourite spot for holiday every year, but this year I contacted Gozde hospitals for my surgery. They even arranged a transfer from Kusadasi to Izmir for my operation. The surgery took around 3 hours but after that everything was perfect. I am not ashamed of wearing dresses or going to the beach with my children anymore. Started enjoying my life again. Thank you for everything! Especially the medical team and my surgeon.
Starting from my 20's, my hair has been receding. Used many products, shampoos, lotions, essential oils but none of them has stopped the receding. I almost gave up and ready to embrace the truth that I am a bald man. One day I stumbled upon Gozde hospital on Whatclinic. I left an inquiry but my expectations were not great at all. I reluctantly reply them, thinking it will not work as well. Then a magical moment happened, I went through their before and after photos, could not believe my eyes. I have arranged my operation for the following week. Now, I am at 4th month. Growing slow but I can see the follicules I have not seen for years. I can't wait to reach the final results!
I had my tummy tuck surgery at Gozde Hospital around a month ago. I am completely healed and in perfect shape. I had been working out for months to get rid of my stubborn belly fat with excess skin but no success. I wish I could have contacted them earlier. I had my doubts about travelling Turkey for a surgery, but all my hesitation has gone after contacting Gozde International. The hospital is one of the best I have ever seen. Top notch, state of the art. Highly recommended! Xo
Had my face and necklift operation with Gozde International hospitals recently. Everything went smootly. I am still in healing process but I feel a lot better. I enjoying spending time looking myself in the mirrors. It was a bit dissappointing to see yourself aging slowly everyday. I always thought that I will not be able to fight with that. Eventually time will take over everything but I'd say I have my 15 years back.
Great experience from start to finish. Clean and nice hotel, perfect hospital. Actually the best part is the hospital experience. Everyone speaks English, also very close to the city center just in case of anything. Atms, restaurants, pharmacies nearby. My expectations were exceeded. Definetely recommended.
I can’t begin to explain how good the whole experience was. The service, communication was excellent. I managed to book my surgery a week after my first call. Just imagine having an operation one week after your first call in UK. Waiting list goes on and on. Everything was planned surprisingly fast. Packed my bags and got here. Picked up from the airport with a VIP car, I felt like I was the queen of England. The hotel was cozy and clean. Room service was excellent. The hospital is the main reason I choose Gozde, and I am glad that I did. Never have I seen such perfect hospital in my life. The staff, equipment, the hospital rooms...Safe to say that those hospital rooms are far better than many 5* hotel rooms. I wish I could have taken few photos to add to my review. I guess it can be fine on their website. My overall experience was defintely perfect, 5-stars, 10 out of 10. I have already recommended this hospital to everyone I know
