Increasing lubrication in any part of the body is called regional lubrication. Regional lubrication is undesirable because it distorts the body shape. Excessive lubrication in unwanted areas of the body causes a physically defective appearance. There have been important developments in the treatment of regional lubrication, which negatively affects the health of the individual and is not aesthetically pleasing. Liposuction, which was developed to get rid of unwanted fat, has started to gain popularity day by day. Those who want to get rid of lubrication problems with the possibilities of aesthetic surgery are searching for the answer to the question of what liposuction is and which areas it is applied to.

What is Liposuction? How is it applied?

Liposuction (liposuction) is a cosmetic surgery method in which fats are absorbed to define body lines. This method is not a technique to aid weight loss. It is aimed to make an aesthetic correction on the body whose physical structure is deteriorated with regional lubrication.

Liposuction is not a weight loss method on its own. It is recommended that patients suffering from excess weight enter a pre-operative diet program and lose weight with diet. The liposuction method is the correction of the aesthetic defects created by the unwanted fats by suction of the fats by vacuum.

Those who want to get rid of excess fat locally with liposuction may wonder how liposuction is applied. Liposuction is applied by entering the unwanted fat through a small hole and pulling it with a vacuum device. The doctor decides which method will be used in the application, which can be done in two ways. The application can be performed as vaser or laser liposuction. In the Vaser liposuction method, fat is melted with sound waves. In laser liposuction, the fat is broken down by cannulas.

Who can apply liposuction?

People with disproportionate fat distribution in their body can gain a more aesthetic appearance with the liposuction method. Liposuction areas are used in the treatment of lubrication. Liposuction is not applied to pregnant women, women who have just given birth, and people whose health problems are not suitable for the operation. At the same time, diet is recommended for people who want to evaluate the application as a weight loss method. In addition, liposuction does not repair sagging skin. It is not possible to repair abdominal wall sagging with liposuction.

For Which Areas Is Liposuction Suitable?

Before the liposuction method, the patient should be examined. In the preliminary interview and examination, if the patient’s problems are related to the problem of overweight, weight loss should be aimed primarily with the help of diet. Liposuction is performed for body shaping in areas with excess fat. After the application, special corsets should be used for a certain period of time according to the patient’s condition.

Liposuction is the removal of excess fat in the area by breaking down with sound waves or cannulas and vacuuming. Considering that regional excessive fattening can be all over the body, the question of which areas is the liposuction procedure applied is an important issue. It is not recommended to apply the liposuction method in areas where there is very little fat and in some areas of the hips. Preliminary tests are carried out to ensure that the application does not cause any negative effects on those with some chronic diseases. In addition, the areas below the knee are not included in the application areas.

 In which regions is the fat removal operation performed?

  • Hip and hip area,
  • Neck area,

Hairlessness caused by various reasons is treated according to the causes of baldness and underlying diseases. Sometimes it is sufficient to treat an underlying condition in baldness problem. In some cases, hair reduction, thinning and opening occurs regardless of a disease or health problem, such as genetic factors. In these cases, hair transplantation emerges as a treatment method that provides a permanent solution to the problem of baldness.

Hairlessness, which causes psychological problems in people, is treated with very modern hair transplantation methods.

Modern Hair Transplant Methods

Hair transplantation is a very advanced treatment with the rapid developments in the field of medicine in recent years. The first arrival of hair transplantation in the world goes back to the 1930s. Hair transplantation has been the scene of different techniques since the 1950s. Today, techniques are very advanced. There are two types of modern hair transplantation, FUE and DHI.

Hair transplantation with FUE technique

FUE is the most preferred hair transplant method. The nape area where the hair follicles of the patient are very resistant is chosen as the donor area. Grafts from this area are collected meticulously and individually. The technique is an operation that does not leave a scar because no incision is used. FUE hair transplantation results in a dopal hair appearance within a year.

In FUE hair transplantation technique, hair follicles are extracted one by one with micromotors without surgical intervention. In the FUE technique performed with local anesthesia, the sowing area is not wrapped after sowing. The patient can return to his daily life the next day. In addition, the operation time is significantly shorter in the FUE technique compared to the classical technique. In hair transplantation using the FUE motor, it provides a healthy condition, and it is almost completely grown from the 9th month. Hair growth and the appearance of the transplanted hair starts from the 3rd month.

DHI hair transplant technique

DHI, which has become widespread in recent years, is an unshaven hair transplant technique. Compared to FUE, DHI is a more detailed and longer operation. The reason for this is that more hair transplantation is performed on balding areas. Since the hair follicles will be dense and closer in this process, the natural appearance is obtained much more easily.

In DHI hair transplantation;

  • Local anesthesia is applied to the patient in sterile hospital conditions,
  • Hair follicles are collected from the donor area,
  • The grafts are placed in unshaved hair transplantation pens called Choi,
  • Choi planting is started with pens.

In the DHI hair transplant method, micro-channel operation is not performed. The germs collected from the healthy area are placed on special needles and directly transplanted. In addition, the transplantation area is not shaved in this method. Unshaved hair transplantation technique is a technique that also minimizes hair root loss. DHI pens also facilitate the operation in directing the hair. The pens used during the DHI hair transplant technique are effective in easily determining the hair follicle angles.

Scoliosis, one of the deformities that occur in the spine, can be diagnosed and treated at a young age. As is known, the vertebrae in the spine are lined up in a straight line from the neck to the waist. In rare cases, the vertebrae move left or right or turn around themselves. The three-dimensional deformity that occurs in this situation is defined as scoliosis. How to treat spinal curvature and scoliosis are among the frequently asked questions

Spinal curvature causes and symptoms

Causes of scoliosis or spinal curvature cannot be found in many cases. Scoliosis can be congenital or due to spinal curvature due to some diseases. The main causes of spinal curvature are as follows:

  • Congenital structural disorders,
  • Connective tissue diseases such as Marfan syndrome,
  • Physical trauma,
  • The difference in length in the legs,
  • Posture disorders,
  • Muscle diseases

Symptoms in spinal curvature are often not evident. School scans are important for early diagnosis of scoliosis. Level difference between the shoulders, visual disturbances, unsymmetrical situations that appear at the shoulder blades and breast level can be signs of scoliosis.

How is curvature of the spine scoliosis treated?

Curvatures up to 10 cm, called spinal asymmetry, do not have a negative effect on physical health. Therefore, for scoliosis treatment to be considered, the curvature must rise above 10 degrees. The treatment of scoliosis curvatures between 20 and 40 degrees is performed as physical therapy. The use of corsets and exercises are important in treatment. Curvatures over 40 degrees in the lumbar region and scoliosis curves over 45 and 50 degrees are corrected surgically.

How is the treatment in childhood scoliosis?

Spine development up to 15 degrees in childhood scoliosis is checked and monitored by the doctor. In children, rehabilitation may be required at an angle of 15-20 degrees cobb. Scoliosis exercises are movements focused on stretching and strengthening together with various techniques. Corset treatment can be applied to children over 20 degrees and above 5 years old. A body cast is preferred for children under the age of 5. In children with a curvature of the spine over 40 degrees, the progression of the curvature can be slowed down with corset treatment. In cases where corset treatment is not effective, scoliosis is tried to be corrected by placing rods on the spine without the need for fusion procedure, with the system of extensible rods.

How is adult spinal curvature treated?

In the treatment of adult scoliosis, physical therapy is used to correct the curvature and reduce the patient’s complaints such as pain. In intensive rehabilitation, a patient-specific physical therapy program is applied. The corset can also be used as a support method in the exercise treatment phase. Solving muscle spasm is essential in exercises. It is aimed to relieve pain. Exercises focused on increasing physical condition are applied under the direction of a physiotherapist.

Pain complaints of the patient can be severe in cases of advanced scoliosis. In addition, the patient loses balance and his ability weakens. In these cases, physical therapy may be inconclusive. Patients may experience incontinence and muscle weakness due to scoliosis. These problems make fusion necessary. With scoliosis surgery, the curvature is tried to be corrected by fusing the vertebrae to a degree to provide balance. Spinal surgery is a treatment method used when no response to non-surgical means is obtained.
