In the article we will consider reviews about cruroplasty.
A type of operation has been developed that allows you to create smooth legs that have an attractive and aesthetic appearance. This operation is called cruroplasty. This is a very popular manipulation lately.
Every second woman can find flaws in herself and tries to correct them. In this regard, modern plastic surgery clinics create ideal slender legs for their clients that can conquer the opposite sex. True, we should not forget that evenness in medicine is not literally perceived. Doctors believe that the lower limbs are straight when three windows appear during their connection. The procedure is becoming no less popular today among men, especially those who are fond of and seriously engaged in bodybuilding. Feedback on cruroplasty will be presented at the end of the article.
Brief description of the procedure: what is it?
Before the start of the operation and surgical intervention, doctorsappoint a mandatory examination, which includes the delivery of certain tests. Next, a consultation takes place, during which the client determines how he wants to see the final result. Then an operation is prescribed and an intervention is carried out. There are frequent cases in which patients require liposuction.
Today, highly experienced plastic surgeons work in specialized clinics with a we alth of experience with positive feedback from their patients. During the operation, an implant made of silicone cohesive gel is implanted into the lower leg. Doctors also use a method such as lipofilling. The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia.
Doctor's orders
After cruroplasty, patients will be required to follow the regimen and follow the doctor's instructions, as a rule, they are as follows:
- At least one day to be in the hospital directly under the supervision of a doctor.
- Restriction and complete rejection of heavy physical activity on the shins and legs, at least for the first time.
- Patients must wear compression underwear to facilitate recovery processes and relieve swelling. Reviews of cruroplasty and photos are presented in the article.
Main indications
People's ideas about exactly how ideal legs should look vary quite a lot. In this regard, the aesthetic preferences of patients are not considered the only indication for surgery. Primarily,this type of intervention is aimed at correcting asymmetrical legs or at correcting excessive thinness of the legs.
It is important to note that cruroplasty is an operation aimed at increasing the internal volume of the legs through the use of silicone implants. However, the asymmetry is different. Most women know that ideal legs must have special points of contact, thus forming the so-called windows. Normally, there should be three of them. And in order for this to be so, the knee joints must deviate from the axis of the limb outward by no more than one centimeter.
Curvature or asymmetry can be congenital (a consequence of cerebral palsy, CNS pathologies, muscle underdevelopment), as well as acquired, for example, as a result of injuries or infectious diseases. All of these cases are indications for surgery.
According to reviews, calf cruroplasty is performed most often.
Contraindications
Like any surgical intervention, cruroplasty has its contraindications:
- Presence in patients of an infectious disease of the skin or blood.
- The development of diabetes and diseases associated with the joints of the legs, and in addition, with their vessels.
- Presence of abnormal blood pressure.
- Foreign body intolerance factor in the body (we are talking about implants).
Who is eligible for this operation?
Make a decision about the needin the plastic of the legs, a person will be able to independently. Usually, those people who suffer from such problems turn to the clinic for such help:
- Imperfect shins.
- Presence of diseases such as polio and myoatrophy, which leads to curvature of the legs.
- Presence of a birth defect along with an anatomically malformed lower leg.
Cruroplasty is carried out quite quickly, and the results are noticeable almost immediately after the implementation of the corresponding procedure. The perfect appearance of the legs, as a rule, is acquired immediately after the disappearance of puffiness. Having once decided on cruroplasty, a person will be proud of his perfectly even, slender and beautiful legs.
Preparing for this plastic surgery
Conditionally, any activities that need to be performed before the operation should be divided into the following two groups:
- Performing examination.
- Compliance with all available doctor's recommendations before the intervention.
Standard pre-surgery checkups include:
- Surveying a general, as well as a biochemical blood test.
- Urine examination is equally important.
- Blood for viral hepatitis, syphilis and AIDS.
- Carrying out a coagulogram, ECG and fluorography.
After cruroplasty, it's too late to get acquainted with the reviews, so it's better to look for information in advance.
Recommendations beforeoperation
In the case of chronic diseases, additional tests may be prescribed, which is done solely at the discretion of the surgeon or therapist. Here is a list of recommendations that must be followed before the operation, it is usually standard:
- Patients stop smoking at least one month before surgery, as this bad habit can disrupt the process of tissue repair, delaying the total rehabilitation period.
- Complete abstinence from alcohol at least a couple of weeks before the operation, because such drinks are incompatible with anesthesia.
- Refuse to use drugs that thin the blood (we are talking about Aspirin, etc.).
- Carrying out a prophylactic course of broad-spectrum antibiotics and antiviral drugs to prevent purulent complications and recurrences of herpes (prescribed by a doctor).
- Application of a special diet two days before surgery (assigned by a doctor).
Hospitalization is carried out directly on the day of surgery. Fifteen to twenty minutes before the start of cruroplasty, a special marking is applied to the skin of the legs, which serves as a guide for the surgeon in the process of installing implants. Before this manipulation, the legs are photographed without fail.
Reviews about leg cruroplasty are mostly positive.
How is the operation going?
In terms of time, the entire procedure takes, as a rule, from one and a half to two hours. For anesthesia, general anesthesia is used (it is used intravenously orinhalation form) or a combination of epidural anesthesia and sedation (means that provide complete anesthesia of the area below the belt with medical sleep). The incision is made in the popliteal area. The length of such is only three or four centimeters.
Through it, the surgeon forms the implant bed, which should be slightly larger in size than the foreign material itself. An implant is placed through the formed hole in the bed. In its thickness, it may be slightly larger than the incision made. But due to the elasticity of the shell and silicone gel, the material easily enters the lumen of the resulting surgical wound.
First, the endoprosthesis is inserted on one leg, then on the second. Before starting suturing the edges, the surgeon must check the symmetry of the position of the endoprostheses on both sides. After the sutures are completely sutured, the postoperative wound is treated with an antiseptic solution and covered with a sterile bandage. Compression garments are already put on directly in the operating room.
There are a lot of patient reviews about rehabilitation after cruroplasty. More on that later.
Rehabilitation after
Recovery after the described intervention usually occurs in four to five weeks. It will be possible to start work for the patient after fourteen days. The first day, patients, as a rule, spend in the ward of the clinic under the strict supervision of a doctor and a nurse. This is required in order to completely exclude the complications of anesthesia after surgery.
The next morningthe next day the person is discharged. In the future, he needs to come to the clinic for dressing and examination by the surgeon. In the first week, he may be very disturbed by pains that are bursting in nature due to the fact that the tissues in the area of the implant installation are in a taut state. According to patients' feedback on cruroplasty and rehabilitation, discomfort gradually decreases. If necessary, you can take special painkillers.
In order not to provoke unnecessary discomfort when walking, it is recommended to wear shoes with a heel height of five centimeters. The sutures are removed on the seventh to tenth day after cruroplasty. For one month, you must refrain from the following activities:
- Excessive exercise or total immobility.
- Heat treatments, including a hot bath.
- Massaging or rubbing drugs into the skin that promote healing.
Compression garments must be worn for at least one month after surgery.
Cruroplasty reviews
People write about this type of plastic surgery that rehabilitation is usually easy. There are no scars left on the legs after the operation. What else can you learn from patient reviews about cruroplasty? Before and after photos are shown below.
Former patients also say that implanted implants do not interfere with their usual life and sports and are not felt at all. After cruroplasty,reviews, patients generally do not experience any discomfort.
Possible Complications
I must say that cruroplasty rarely leads to complications, however, they are still possible, and doctors warn patients about this. The rare category includes bleeding along with damage to blood vessels and nerves, wound suppuration or seroma (when serous fluid accumulates around the implant).
It is also possible to change the appearance of the lower leg. For example, there are times when people insist on installing large implants that do not fit them. The doctor at the same time warns that in a year the lower leg may become larger than before the intervention. In the event that the patient insists on his decision, then after twelve months the contours of the implanted material may appear in him.
If the patient has an increased sensitivity to the implant, then capsular contracture may occur, when a capsule of connective tissues is formed around, which will compress and displace the object. As a result, the legs will be asymmetrical, and the lower leg will simply be deformed.
Implant displacement
In case of inaccurate placement, the implant may move. The lower legs will lose symmetry, which may end up looking unnatural. Often the cause of such a complication is the violations committed by the patient in the process of wearing compression stockings, which is why all the doctor's recommendations must be followed. In about three percent of cases, people after this manipulation formkeloid rough scars, which is associated with the characteristics of the connective tissue.
