Leg Aesthetics

Slim legs narrowing from the groin to the ankle from top to bottom make the person look not only weaker but also taller. Our legs are one of the hardest parts of our body to take shape. Although it is easily affected by skin loosening due to weight gain and loss of skin elasticity, unfortunately, removing deformations in the legs and achieving an aesthetic leg appearance cannot be easily achieved with diet and sports.

What is leg aesthetics?

Leg deformity, saggy skin appearance, asymmetrical posture and many other problems are corrected by leg aesthetic surgery. In particular, leg appearance problems, which can take away the freedom of women to wear skirts, are tried to be corrected with surgical interventions. Many problems with the appearance of the legs can be corrected with plastic leg surgery. How the surgery will be performed depends on the patient’s demands and the structure of the legs. Today, many techniques applied in aesthetic surgery are also used when performing aesthetic surgery on the leg. Many procedures, from leg prosthesis to fat injection, stretching techniques, can be included in leg aesthetic procedures.

What is thigh lift?

Thigh lift surgery is one of the procedures performed within the scope of leg aesthetics. The thigh area, which we call the upper leg, is the region where fat accumulations and skin sagging in the legs are most common. With thigh lift surgery, skin sagging in this area can be removed. Moreover, with a combined Vaser Liposuction application, local lubrication in this area can also be intervened.

Which applications are included in leg aesthetics?

With leg aesthetics, the legs can be thinned by removing excess fat from the legs, the skin that has become loose and prone to sagging can be stretched to create a tight and fit leg appearance, if the person’s body structure is suitable, the ankles can be intervened.

How is leg aesthetics done?

Curve leg shaping aesthetics can be done to smooth the curved or distorted appearance of the legs. In this process, fat injection is generally preferred. After the fat taken from the patient’s own body is processed, it is transferred to the leg area that causes the distorted appearance. With this method, it is possible to obtain a very successful result, especially in the appearance of crooked legs. In recent years, stem cell enriched fat injection is one of the preferred methods.

One of the techniques used to smooth the crooked leg structure is to place a prosthesis inside the leg. The aesthetic leg prosthesis, which is usually placed inside the inner leg, is placed on the outer line of the base or along the line. The surgery, which is performed with an incision of approximately 2.5 cm from the back of the knee, is actually a collage surgical intervention. Since the result is permanent, it is one of the most preferred techniques in crooked leg correction. Silicone implants can also be placed in the calf muscles. This surgery method can be applied to get a smoother appearance of the calves with an easy technique. Surgery to place a silicone prosthesis on the leg requires rest after the operation. It is possible for the patient to return to his daily life in a short time such as a week or 10 days. Therefore, it does not require a long recovery period for the patient.

In order to obtain a leg structure that looks aesthetically correct, aesthetic leg fat injection can be preferred. When the legs are closed, the fat taken from the patient’s own body is transferred to the leg area for operations such as removing the gap between the two legs and filling the depressions in the legs. Since the stem cell enriched fat injection technique is generally preferred, most of the transferred fats retain their presence. Therefore, after a while, the leg appearance is prevented from returning to its original state. When fat is injected into the leg, the appearance is affected depending on weight gain. Because the fat injection enriched with stem cells, the higher proportion of fat cells after fat injection.

The technique called Superdry is often used to thin thick legs. This technique is activated after it is determined that the tissue that thickens the leg is fat. However, the appearance of thick legs may be caused not only by fat but also by calf muscles. In this case, the volume of the muscles can be reduced with botox.

Will there be any scars after leg plastic surgery?

Leg aesthetic operations, like many plastic surgeries, are operations that leave scars after the procedure. However, the surgical scar can be minimized with the right incision and professional aesthetic suture. The scar, which turns red immediately after the operation and turns purple over time, takes on a color close to the skin tone in the first year of the operation, and its visibility decreases.

Recovery process after leg aesthetics

Leg aesthetic operation performed under general anesthesia has a comfortable recovery period. Swelling in the legs is expected in the first few days after the operation. For this reason, it is important to keep the legs elevated in the first days of the operation. In the leg aesthetic operation, which can be completed in 1 to 3 hours depending on the procedure to be performed, no exercise is performed for the first month, but at the end of the 1st month, the patient can start light exercises.

Is leg aesthetics possible without surgery?

Leg aesthetics can be performed with surgical as well as non-surgical methods in line with the needs of the patient. Depending on the thickness of the fat tissue in the legs, Cool Sculpting or Scizer Sonic can be applied, and skin laxity can be resolved with the Profound RF body cap. However, if there is a need for curvature in the legs or more extensive interventions, surgery may be a more effective method of choice. It is decided during the consultation examination whether the surgical or non-surgical methods will be chosen in leg aesthetics, according to the expectations of the patients and their current body structure.
