"Liposuction", hearing this word, many people might feel that this liposuction is a big action that is enough to make people think about doing this action. Especially when you hear the word Tummy Tuck, which is an aesthetic plastic surgery procedure that makes the stomach area look flat and tight.
What happens if the two actions are carried out together? According to Shahnaz Haque, having carried out both actions at the same time is not a scary thing.
Let's follow Shahnaz Haque's story, what were his considerations in carrying out these two actions at the EMC Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center at EMC Sentul Hospital. And what was his experience doing this action?
What did Sis Shahnaz consider when she first thought about doing Liposuction and Tummy Tuck simultaneously?
My body condition wasn't ideal because I was post-pregnant 3 times which made me gain 25 kg in weight. The shape of my stomach becomes "glambir", falls with a circle that is not ideal.
What I do know is that belly circumference is a yardstick for heart health? People who have fat deposits in the stomach tend to experience impaired blood flow to all parts of the body.
Before considering Liposuction and Tummy Tuck procedures, what has Kak Shahnaz done to restore the ideal body?
Have done sports, slimming techniques have all been tried and not successful, have set a diet that has not worked either. Moreover, hormonal changes during menopause, it becomes increasingly difficult to be ideal
Why did you finally choose Liposuction and Tummy Tuck? Isn't there a myth that says that this action is a big scary action?
Correct if done in the wrong place by an inexperienced doctor. Because even though it's plastic surgery, it's major surgery.
Instead it becomes a myth, not a fact , if it is done in a hospital that is complete with health care and is carried out by doctors who are very experienced in their fields.
Several factors made me choose Liposuction and Tummy Tuck, firstly they were handled by experienced doctors;
Because just hearing the word 'Liposuction' is horrifying, let alone adding the word 'Tummy Tuck' which is included in the category of major surgery. We often hear this statement from some patients when doctors advise them to perform Liposuction and Tummy Tuck procedures.
If the patient is given an unambiguous explanation, then he will be sure of the process being undertaken and understand the changes that have occurred in his body after the procedure. And how to change lifestyle in order to maintain good results.
For example, dr. Imam Susanto, Sp.BP-RE(K) explained in detail which supplements should not be consumed before the procedure. Because it will affect bleeding during the action.
Then this operative action is not for weight loss. So what is being chased is not how many kilograms when weighing. But "shaping". Then the benchmark is in the centimeter size of the waist circle.
Then he also explained about the "numbness" that occurred along the incision after the operation, what to do with MLDV therapy.
MLDV is a manual technique known since 1932 to help drain fluid from tissues through the lymph nodes. If done in the right way, direction, pressure, and method, the MLDV technique is very appropriate to facilitate drainage.
So a lot of information is obtained by a patient, so he knows the process starting from preparation, processing to post-operative care.
The information provided is very clear, so I believe dr. Imam Susanto, Sp.BP-RE(K) and dr. Irfan Meison Hardi, Sp.An. And the entire team that handles operative actions can go through the process properly.
The second factor is the hospital which has the support of complete and up-to-date medical facilities. The level of patient satisfaction determines the choice of action. So a hospital that has complete medical facilities and provides integrated services, for health care that makes a sense of comfort appear.
The impression of "Friendly and Trustworthy", the right place and handled by experienced specialist doctors. So that they dare to carry out the next action process after the initial inspection.
The Third Factor A very satisfying result for this matter is no longer a question because I have experienced this. A feeling of satisfaction, of course, seeing the results 3 months after the procedure. It's a great experience. In my life, I have undergone 9 operations. And this is my first experience doing plastic surgery. A different experience from previous operations.
Are there any worries before the D-day of the action?
No worries. So the process also runs smoothly. After the action, the healing process also becomes smooth. If there was ever a "horror", when I entered the operating room, when I was conscious, I saw the large operating lamp above the operating table where I was lying.
Well, the key to the calmness of a patient on the operating table is in the hands of the anesthesiologist. It turned out that the surgery was fun and exciting at Doctor Anesthesiologist dr. Irfan Meison Hardi, Sp.An He explained that the anesthesia was carried out like the 'take off' and 'landing' of an airplane.
Because all the preparations were bright, then Alhamdulillah went smoothly. Recovery is also fast, because anesthesia does not use the type of amnesia. So you can chat, joke and video call in the recovery room before entering the treatment room.
What are the impressions and messages of Kak Shahnaz with the experience of Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Actions?
Want To Do Tummy Tuck? Get to Know the Definition, Procedures and Risks First!
Don't want to see quick changes after surgery, because it can take up to six months or more to see the maximum results of the tummy tuck.
During that time, the swelling gradually goes away and some degree of skin tightening may occur leading to more dramatic results starting about 3 months afterward. After that, you have to be diligent about caring for it, so that the good results are maintained. Don't be lazy to wear a corset.
The corset reduces sagging of the skin and helps reduce swelling and bruising. If you are not diligent and patient in wearing corsets, the results will be less than optimal.
So, how do you feel after reading Kak Shahnaz's experience? Having an ideal body and having a flat and toned stomach by performing a liposuction combined with a tummy tuck procedure is not as scary as the news circulating widely. As long as the action is confirmed to be carried out by an experienced doctor and supported by a hospital that has complete facilities.
