What is popular this summer? The answer is miniskirt! "Light, thin and short" is a mini-aesthetic tailored by the fashion industry for the spring and summer of 2006, but not everyone has a pair of slender legs like a model. Some people turn to plastic surgeons for help. The commonly used methods include liposuction, injection of botulinum toxin, surgical resection of gastrocnemius and neurotomy of calf.
Skinny leg method
The most effective method of stovepipe is liposuction, as the name implies, it is to remove fat; Clinical medical research shows that human subcutaneous adipose tissue can be divided into deep adipose tissue and shallow adipose tissue. It belongs to the deep fat around the upper thigh, buttocks, waist and navel, and the tissue is thick, and the thick deep fat tissue in these parts will also spread around. These places are more prone to obesity, and liposuction surgery mainly involves deep fat.
Liposuction can deal with local fat accumulation that is ineffective in diet therapy and exercise therapy, such as hypertrophy of the inner and outer thighs and buttocks. This kind of operation is also suitable for abdomen, waist, face, chin, arms and other parts, and liposuction has a wide range of applications.
Skinny leg plastic surgery method
The structure of the calf is mainly bones and muscles, so there is not much subcutaneous fat, and the liposuction effect is not good, unless very fat people have more fat. The reason for the formation of radish legs is that the calf muscles are too developed or hypertrophy. Asians have a high proportion of "radish legs" because of their physical conditions. If liposuction is used to eliminate radish legs, the effect is not good.
The method of stovepipe is different because of the thick legs, and different methods can be used. If it is fat, liposuction can be used. If it is muscular (radish leg), you can consider injecting botulinum toxin, surgical resection of gastrocnemius or nerve amputation of the leg.
1. Botox injection: 1973 American ophthalmologist Scott injected Botox for strabismus for the first time, and 1989 was approved by FDA. Indications include strabismus and blepharospasm. 1990, in the United States, doctors began to use it in the field of cosmetic surgery. In recent years, botulinum toxin has been widely and safely used to eliminate wrinkles in Europe and America. The principle of botulinum toxin in treating wrinkles is simply to inhibit the release of acetylcholine neurotransmitter and block the connection between neuromuscular, so as to relax muscles and eliminate wrinkles.
Domestic doctors also use botulinum toxin to treat radish legs. Its principle is to inhibit muscle contraction by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine and achieve the effect of gastrocnemius atrophy. After injection of botulinum toxin, the calf muscles can be less developed, but after stovepipe climbing stairs, the calf may be weak.
2. Surgical resection of gastrocnemius: Endoscopic-assisted plastic surgery to remove the medial gastrocnemius of calf is better than liposuction, which can obviously improve chubby calf, but surgery often leaves scars, and the postoperative recovery period is long, which may affect walking posture.
3. Partial amputation of calf nerve: the branch of tibial nerve that dominates calf muscle is blocked by surgery, and the useless atrophy after nerve resection is used to improve the line of calf. Because the severed nerve is not the main nerve, it does not affect the daily activities of patients, such as running, jumping, sitting and lying down, but it may not be suitable for a lot of exercise and walking after operation.
It is suggested that women who want stovepipe should choose an experienced plastic surgeon for consultation, and then decide the most appropriate method to truly shape a pair of beautiful legs.
