Achieve Your Ideal Figure with Combined Body Shaping

Combined body shaping is an approach in which the surgeon aims to achieve a comprehensive transformation by performing plastic surgery procedures on multiple parts of the body together. This method is especially ideal for people who struggle with excess fat, sagging skin, and deformations in certain areas. This approach aims to achieve a more balanced and aesthetic appearance by addressing the whole body as a whole.

The first of the methods that the surgeon can apply within the scope of combined body shaping is tummy tuck or abdominoplasty procedures. A tummy tuck is a procedure in which the surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the abdominal muscles.  

Fleur de lis abdominoplasty is a technique in which the surgeon makes a vertical incision in addition to the standard abdominoplasty. 360 abdominoplasty, on the other hand, provides a slimming and shaping around 360 degrees of the body by the surgeon removing excess skin and fat in the waist and back area.

Liposuction is an important part of combined body shaping and allows the surgeon to remove excess fat from various parts of the body with a vacuum method. Breast lift, which is another method you may prefer in combination, provides a more lifted and aesthetic appearance of the breasts.

Combined body shaping procedures also include arm, thigh, face, and neck lifts. An arm lift is especially effective for removing sagging skin on the inner arms after aging and weight loss. Thigh lift allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat in the thigh area, making the legs look firmer and more shaped. The specialist performs facelift and neck lift procedures to remove signs of aging on the face and neck.

Ideal candidates for combined body shaping are usually people who have multiple aesthetic concerns in certain areas and want to solve the problems in these areas with a single operation. These individuals are in good general health, don’t smoke, and have the discipline to follow the doctor's instructions during the post-operative period.

The combined body shaping recovery process varies depending on the scope of the procedures. Symptoms such as pain, swelling, and bruising are normal for the first few days and decrease over time. You can manage the pain by using the painkillers prescribed by your doctor and spend the healing process more comfortably. The cost of combined body shaping may vary depending on the scope of the procedures, techniques, and your needs.

What is Combined Body Shaping?

Combined body shaping is an approach in plastic surgery that involves a series of surgeries and procedures that the surgeon performs simultaneously on different parts of the body. This method is an ideal solution, especially for people who experience deformities and sagging of their bodies due to factors such as weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. This body contouring method allows our specialist to aesthetically correct and reshape multiple areas during a single operation.

One of the methods used by the surgeon in combined body contouring procedures is tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. In this procedure, the surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles by removing excess skin and fat in the abdomen.

This method is especially suitable for people who experience severe skin sagging after excessive weight loss. 360 tummy tuck provides slimming and shaping around 360 degrees of the body by removing excess skin and fat in the waist and back area by the doctor.

Is Combined Body Shaping Risky? What are the Risks?

Although rare, this procedure carries certain risks. Knowing the risks of combined body shaping will help you make an informed decision before surgery and better manage the post-operative process. Here are the risks of combined body shaping:

• Specialists perform these procedures under anesthesia in all cases. General anesthesia carries risks such as severe allergic reactions or complications related to anesthesia. Our anesthesiologist will continuously monitor you during the surgery and intervene if necessary.
• As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection after surgery. Infection can develop if you don’t pay attention to the hygiene of the surgical site.
• Prolonged immobilization can cause blood clots to form in the legs. To prevent this, you should move frequently in the post-operative period, take short walks, and do the exercises recommended by your doctor.
• Nerves may be damaged during surgery, which may lead to temporary or permanent loss of sensation. Symptoms such as numbness and tingling in the post-operative period are normal and usually resolve within a few months.
• In the post-operative period, wound healing may take longer than expected, or wound dehiscence may occur. To prevent this, you should not smoke in the post-operative period and follow the care instructions recommended by your doctor.

What Happens During the Combined Body Shaping Preparation Process?

The pre-operative preparation process is of great importance for this type of surgery to be successful.

• Before the surgery, your doctor may order some tests to assess your general health. These tests are important to minimize the risk of complications during and after surgery.
• You should eat a healthy and balanced diet before surgery. Drinking enough water also helps to keep the body hydrated and speed up the healing process.
• If you are taking regular medications, you should inform your doctor about these medications. You may need to stop or adjust the dosage of some medications before surgery.
• You can prepare your body for surgery by exercising regularly before surgery. Low-intensity exercises such as light brisk walks, yoga, or pilates increase your blood circulation and strengthen your muscles.
• You should wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothes for the day of surgery. You should also make sure that you have someone close to you to help you in the post-operative period. You should also prepare mentally in the pre-operative period.

What to Expect from Your Combined Body Shaping Results?

Combined body shaping results significantly affect not only your physical appearance but also your self-confidence. However, these results can vary from person to person and depend entirely on factors such as individual anatomical features, age, and skin quality.

Immediately after the operation, you will notice a visible shaping in certain parts of your body. This shaping occurs as a result of the reduction of unwanted fat deposits in the areas targeted by the operation, and your body contours become more prominent. However, the swelling and bruising that occurs after the operation prevents you from fully seeing the final results. For this reason, you may need to wait a few weeks, or even a few months in some cases, to see the results of combined body shaping.

The results of the procedure are usually long-lasting. Also, this permanence depends on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding weight gain. You will maintain the shape of your body after surgery, but significant weight gain or loss can negatively affect your results. Therefore, adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise habits after surgery will help you maintain the results in the long term.

How Much Does Combined Body Shaping Cost?

Combined body shaping costs vary depending on several factors and differ according to each individual's needs. First of all, this approach usually involves the surgeon performing multiple aesthetic procedures together.

In this procedure, which the surgeon performs as a combination of different operations such as liposuction, tummy tuck, and breast lift, the cost of each procedure affects the total price. In addition, factors such as the surgeon's experience, the quality of the materials, and anesthesia also play an important role in determining the costs.

This procedure isn’t only an aesthetic investment but also an investment in yourself. With this procedure, you can not only improve your physical appearance but also increase your self-confidence.
