¿Cómo funcionan las fajas postquirúrgicas?

Una de las etapas más importantes de cualquier tratamiento médico o estético que involucre cirugía es la recuperación. De hecho, el éxito de un proceso quirúrgico depende en gran medida del seguimiento de las instrucciones que el especialista haya recomendado para el período inmediato posterior a la realización de la cirugía y en las semanas o meses posteriores, según sea el caso. En el caso particular de cirugías estéticas como la liposucción, dermolipectomía, reducción de abdomen o abdominoplastia, estas recomendaciones incluyen medidas como evitar esfuerzos físicos y usar fajas posquirúrgicas, que son un gran apoyo que, si se usan correctamente, pueden contribuir excelentemente en el proceso de recuperación.

Antes de hablar de las características de las fajas posquirúrgicas o postoperatorias y los beneficios que puede traer su uso, es importante mencionar que este tipo de prendas no son recomendables para todas las personas que se han sometido a una cirugía estética como liposucción o lipoescultura. Es muy importante que el médico especialista que se ha hecho cargo de la operación, que conoce la historia clínica del paciente y las condiciones particulares de su salud, sea quien indique el uso de este tipo de prendas. Solo el médico puede determinar las características particulares que debe cumplir la faja y decidir su período de uso, y en todo caso es necesario que se sigan estas instrucciones para garantizar la seguridad y comodidad del paciente.

Características:

Las fajas postoperatorias o posquirúrgicas no son fajas convencionales que se pueden encontrar disponibles en el mercado para definir la figura o mejorar la postura, son prendas especialmente diseñadas para brindar apoyo a la zona operada quirúrgicamente, por lo tanto, los materiales utilizados en su fabricación, su corte y modo de ajuste, son muy diferentes a los de las fajas de uso habitual. Una faja posquirúrgica reúne las características que la hacen apta para sostener los músculos y tejidos del cuerpo en la zona que fue sometida a la operación, para que tenga un mejor soporte durante el período de recuperación. La particularidad de estas fajas, es que son de compresión, por lo que el soporte que ofrecen es mayor y se ajusta mejor al cuerpo de los pacientes que se han sometido a una operación estética.

Contrariamente a la creencia popular de que este tipo de fajas son muy incómodas o que resultan antiestéticas porque hacen bultos o arrugas que se notan en la ropa, si eliges la talla adecuada no tendrían por qué causarte ningún tipo de molestia y podrás usar cualquier tipo de prenda.

Este tipo de malentendidos son los que hacen que muchas personas no utilicen las fajas, a pesar de que su médico las haya indicado, lo que puede tener consecuencias que dificultan la recuperación y ponen en riesgo la salud del paciente.

Los materiales con los que se fabrican las fajas postoperatorias o posquirúrgicas son elásticos para facilitar el ajuste y aportar mayor comodidad y su tiempo de uso varía según el tipo de cirugía a la que se haya sometido el paciente. En el caso de la liposucción, el uso de una faja suele ser indicado por el médico al menos durante un período de cuatro a seis semanas después de la cirugía, un tiempo de 22 horas al día.

Pasadas estas semanas, el médico indica reducir el número de horas que se ha de llevar la faja durante el día, hasta eliminar por completo su uso. Durante la etapa de recuperación es fundamental acudir a citas médicas de manera oportuna para evaluar el progreso de la cicatrización y la adaptación de la piel y los músculos a la nueva figura corporal después de una cirugía estética para reducción de tamaño. Durante estas visitas, el médico indicará los cambios de talla necesarios y nuevos ajustes de la faja para permitir que el cuerpo se adapte correctamente.

Además de brindar soporte a la zona intervenida, sujetando los músculos y tejidos que quedan vulnerables tras la operación, lo cual es fundamental para realizar movimientos sin comprometer la seguridad del paciente. Las fajas son prendas que son excelentes para ayudar a que la piel vuelva a su lugar, gane firmeza y así el cuerpo se adapte satisfactoriamente, para lograr los resultados deseados. Todo lo anterior se consigue mediante la compresión que ejercen sobre la zona, de forma que ayuden a reducir la inflamación, prevenir sangrados y reducir hematomas, fibrosis, dolores y otras molestias que se presentan tras una cirugía como las que mencionamos.

En las primeras semanas posteriores a la operación el médico indica un uso prolongado de la faja, esto se debe a que el apoyo que brinda permite a los pacientes tener un mejor control sobre su cuerpo y poder retomar gradualmente sus actividades diarias sin riesgos. Entre otros beneficios de este tipo de prendas está la corrección de la postura, la reducción de la flacidez y su contribución al proceso de cicatrización.

Si planeas someterte a una liposucción o lipoescultura, te recomendamos que consultes con tu médico sobre los pasos que tendrás que seguir para prepararte para la operación y las recomendaciones de cuidados en el proceso de recuperación. Recuerda que seguir las instrucciones al pie de la letra es determinante para el éxito de la cirugía.

😷Importance of a post-surgical girdle💉

PLASTIC, AESTHETIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

One of the most important stages of any medical or aesthetic treatment that involves surgery is recovery. In fact, the fact that a surgical process is successful depends largely on the follow-up of the instructions that the specialist has recommended for the immediate period after the surgery has been carried out and in the weeks or months later, as the case may be. In the particular case of cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction, dermolipectomy, reduction of the abdomen or tummy tuck, these recommendations include measures such as avoiding physical efforts and using post-surgical girdles, which are a great support that, if used correctly, can contribute excellently in the recovery process.

Before talking about the characteristics of the post-surgical or post-operative girdles and the benefits that their use can bring, it is important to mention that this type of garments is not recommended for all people who have undergone cosmetic surgery such as liposuction or liposculpture. It is very important that the specialist doctor who has taken charge of the operation, who knows the patient's medical history and the particular conditions of his health, be the one who indicates the use of this type of garments. Only the doctor can determine the particular characteristics that the girdle should meet and decide its period of use, and in any case it is necessary that these instructions be followed to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient.

Characteristics

The post-operative or post-surgical girdles are not conventional girdles that can be found available in the market to define the figure or improve the posture, these are garments specially designed to provide support to the surgically operated area, therefore the materials used in its manufacture, its cut and mode of adjustment, are very different from those of the girdles for regular use. A post-surgical girdle meets the characteristics that make it suitable for supporting the muscles and tissues of the body in the area that underwent the operation, so that it has a better support during the recovery period. The particularity of these belts is that they are compression, so the support they offer is greater and better fit the body of patients who have undergone an aesthetic operation.

Contrary to the popular belief that these types of girdles are very uncomfortable or that they are unsightly because they make lumps or wrinkles that are noticeable in the clothes, if you choose the right size they would not have to cause any type of discomfort and without problems you can wear any type of garment on it. These types of misconceptions are what make many people not use the girdles, even though their doctor has indicated them, which can have consequences that make recovery difficult and put the patient's health at risk.

The materials with which the post-operative or post-surgical girdles are made are elastic to facilitate adjustment and provide greater comfort and their time of use varies according to the type of surgery to which the patient has undergone. In the case of liposuction, the use of a girdle is usually indicated by the doctor at least for a period of four to six weeks after surgery, a time of 22 hours a day.

After these weeks, the doctor indicates reducing the number of hours that the girdle has to be worn during the day until its use is completely eliminated. During the recovery stage it is essential to go to medical appointments in a timely manner to evaluate the progress of healing and the adaptation of the skin and muscles to the new body figure after an aesthetic surgery for size reduction. During these visits, the doctor will indicate the necessary changes in size and new adjustments of the girdle to allow the body to adapt properly.

In addition to providing support to the intervened area, holding the muscles and tissues that are vulnerable after the operation, which is essential to perform movements without compromising patient safety. The girdles are garments that are excellent to help the skin return to its place, gain firmness and thus the body adapts satisfactorily, to achieve the desired results. All of the above is achieved by the compression they exert on the area, so that they help reduce inflammation, prevent bleeding and reduce bruising, fibrosis, pain and other discomforts that occur after surgery such as the ones we mentioned

In the first weeks after the operation the doctor indicates a prolonged use of the girdle, this is because the support he provides allows patients to have better control over their body and can gradually resume their daily activities without risks. Among other benefits of this type of garments is the correction of posture, the reduction of sagging and its contribution to the healing process.

If you are planning to undergo liposuction or liposculpture, we recommend that you consult with your doctor about the steps you will have to take to prepare for the operation and the recommendations for care in the recovery process. Remember that following the instructions to the letter is decisive for the success of the surgery.

Why a surgery to lose weight?

Why a surgery to lose weight?

Obesity is a real health problem and, every day, the number of people who suffer from it is in fact increasing, the World Health Organization (WHO) has cataloged it as the epidemic of the 21st century, since it affects the today to 1.7 billion people.
The group of candidates for bariatric surgery, are those patients with severe or more obesity and whose BMI (weight divided by squared height) is greater than 34 and with greater reason even if you have diseases associated with obesity, even with lower BMI .
The most extreme degree of overweight is morbid obesity.

When the patient reaches this degree of obesity, current medical treatments (changing habits, diets, exercise, medications) are not effective in 96-98% of patients and, in some cases, this type of medical treatment results to what is called the yo-yo effect: the patient makes a great effort and time to lose a few kilos and recovers them in a short time. It is clearly studied and established that medical (non-surgical) treatment for the management of severe obesity has a failure rate of approximately 97%. This means that the person with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 35, with treatments such as diet, exercise, drugs, mesotherapy, acupuncture or cosmetic surgery, will fail in their attempt to lose weight significantly and that They can keep it.
The dramatic increase in the prevalence of obesity in our society and the important complications and comorbidities that it originated has aroused the interest of scientists and the public in this pathology.

Surgical treatment is currently the only effective and lasting treatment for morbid obesity and in many cases, it significantly improves and even definitively cures associated complications such as diabetes or hypertension. Among the various bariatric surgery techniques, gastric bypass (BPG) seems to be definitely imposed, offering an excellent balance between weight loss (> 70% of excess) and surgical risk and subsequent quality of life.
Surgical treatment has demonstrated success over 70% in the long term with low morbidity and mortality. Today, surgery is the only treatment option in this type of morbidly obese patients.
We must keep in mind that bariatric surgery is not a cosmetic operation: it is a gastrointestinal surgery that is performed on patients whose obesity puts their lives at risk.

Surgical techniques

1) Gastric Bay-pass technique The surgical technique of gastric bypass is the most widespread worldwide by laparoscopic approach and as described by Wittgrove and Clark.

The digestive loop is placed ante colic and ante gastric according to the variant described by Gagner.

2) Gastric band surgery consists of an inflatable band that is placed around the upper part of the stomach, limiting its ability to expand. Since you can't store as much food as before you feel fuller faster, eat less, and lose weight. You can lose more than 45 kilograms with this procedure.

3) Gastric sleeve surgery removes about 85% of the stomach, leaving a small tube that when created only allows small volumes of food to be eaten.

In addition, it helps reduce appetite for the lower production of the hormone Ghrelin, which is created in the gastric fundus (part of the stomach that is removed).

This procedure is also laparoscopic and is indicated for people with severe obesity.

4) The surgical establishment of a short circuit between some portion of the biliary tree and the digestive tract is called a biliodigestive bypass. This is generally established, particularly with the duodenum or jejunum.
