Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty that involves the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of a part of the human body. Plastic surgery is divided into two categories: the first is reconstructive surgery, which includes cranial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and burn treatment, and the second category is aesthetic surgery.

Plastic surgery aims to improve the appearance of the body, while reconstructive surgery aims to rebuild a part of the body or improve its performance. Both of these techniques are used worldwide. Reconstructive plastic surgery is performed to correct functional defects resulting from burns, traumatic injuries: such as fractures and facial fractures or congenital deformities (such as cleft palate, cleft lip, developmental abnormalities); infection and disease, and cancer or tumors. Reconstructive plastic surgery is usually performed to improve function, but it may be performed to achieve a natural appearance.

Cosmetic surgeries improve weight stability after weight loss surgeries

Post-weight loss cosmetic surgeries are among the most common and fastest growing surgeries in the world, and while these surgeries are sometimes considered purely cosmetic surgeries, it has recently been proven that these surgeries are not only cosmetic and formal, but also have a functional aspect represented by improving the health aspects of obese patients and improving their quality of life.

Doctors at Al-Maqasid Hospital perform cosmetic surgeries to improve the shape of the body, which remove excess and sagging skin and fat after weight loss as a result of weight loss surgeries or even dieting. It has been proven that these surgeries help obese patients maintain their ideal weight to a greater extent compared to patients who do not undergo these cosmetic surgeries.

These surgeries performed at the hospital have proven that maintaining an ideal weight improves the health of obese patients and reduces the health complications of obesity. Cosmetic surgeries to get rid of excess skin and fat are essential and necessary surgeries in the context of treating obesity and its complications.

A comparison was made between cases that underwent cosmetic surgeries after weight loss and patients who did not undergo these surgeries, and it was found that the amount of weight loss for patients who did not undergo cosmetic surgeries after weight loss was greater for patients who underwent cosmetic surgeries, meaning that patients who did not undergo cosmetic surgeries were heavier than patients who underwent these surgeries at the hospital.

We can conclude from all these facts and based on the results of the operations performed in the hospital that cosmetic surgeries after weight loss have clear and proven results in terms of weight stability, and reducing the known health complications of obesity such as diabetes, heart disease and respiratory system diseases, as well as because these operations have a great impact on improving the quality of life of people with obesity, we must consider these operations an essential and indispensable part of obesity treatment and not in any way a luxury and formality as some believe.

Wishing you all health, wellness and beauty.
