There are two leading reasons as to why extreme makeover plastic surgery is gaining in popularity!The first one is that women and men in our society are far braver and gutsier than before.
Be it expressed in extreme sports like zip-lining or parasailing, tasting exotic foods with unheard of ingredients, and so on – the young and old of today embrace the world as a playground – and have learnt that playing is great way to counterbalance the hard work and responsibilities that otherwise occupy our time when not in play mode.
So, when it comes to countermanding the effects of our genetic inheritance, aging, or having a family – we fearlessly have a go at whatever worthwhile options are available!
The second reason extreme makeover plastic surgery is so popular, is because technology has finally caught up with our dream and inclinations to “turn back the clock.” First-rate plastic surgeons are now equipped with the tools and techniques to beautify virtually every part of our bodies.
Computer image generators ensure we know what we are getting beforehand. Microsurgical instruments ensure precision incisions and minimal scarring. And the best plastic surgery teams provide programmes to ensure that we get appropriate guidance to prepare for surgery and to maintain healthy lifestyles post-surgery.
In our continuing series highlighting Plastic Surgery procedures in Singapore, Expat Choice caught up with internationally acclaimed Plastic Surgeon Dr Marco Faria Correa to discuss Extreme Plastic Surgery Makeovers for a patient’s Face and Body
According to Dr Marco, Extreme Makeover is a series of surgical techniques or surgical treatment, or a sequence of cosmetic and medical treatments, performed to remove the excess fat, excess skin, tightening and improving the body contour – which aims to restore a youthful appearance to the body.
One of the best-known extreme makeover procedures is called the Mommy Makeover. Many women work very hard to lose excess weight after pregnancy, only to find themselves with sagging skin and extra fat cells despite their efforts.
“Pregnancy changes many things in a woman’s life: the family size, the sleeping habits and mainly the woman’s body shape. And as important as a mother is, a woman may not be feeling completely comfortable and confident in her post-pregnancy body. Favourably, there are some plastic surgery procedures available, which are purposed to gracefully reshape the woman’s silhouette.”
The Mommy Makeover targets the areas that are most impacted by childbirth, and this could include Breast Life or Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, and Tummy Tuck. The Mommy Makeover is considered ‘extreme,’ because it addresses so many issues at one time and the results can be dramatic. However, top-notch surgeons’ teamwork to combine necessary procedures into one strategic and highly individualised operation – which requires one equally individualised recovery programme.
Extreme Makeover is designed specifically to address common issues faced by women who have experienced pregnancy, and those who have been through a massive weight loss. This series of surgical treatment happens to be one of today’s most popular combinations of Plastic Surgery techniques.
After having undergone a significant or massive weight loss, the individual may be left with excess skin and fat, and loss of skin elasticity, resulting in stretch marks or striae. This can result in lots of redundant skin and flabbiness, causing folds of skin that can make it harder to dress comfortably, or to fit into clothes often resulting in mobility problems – and in some cases, skin infection may occur in the skin folds.
Plastic Surgery can play a life-changing role in the lives of these women and men, in bringing about positive aesthetic and cosmetic results.
When it is the woman’s preference to gain a more contoured silhouette, she can consider a consultation with a plastic surgeon to know more about the Extreme Makeover.
According to Dr Marco, Extreme Makeover is a reshaping surgery that may significantly improve his patient’s comfort levels and quality of life.
The sequence of procedures, performed together or gradually, can include:
- face lift
- breast lift
- breast implant
- arm lift
- tummy tuck
- thigh lift
- butt lift
- liposuction/ liposculpture
- fat grafting
Dr Marco expresses that these patients can be successfully treated by Plastic Surgeon’s adept in their care, who customise staging of the procedures as needed to yield a faster recovery, better results, and lower complications.
Whatever “extreme makeover plastic surgery” might mean to you – if a professional has declared you healthy enough for surgical procedures – it is yours to have if you want it! According to Dr Marco, the result of Extreme Makeover brings to the patient a new body silhouette – improving self-body image, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
