What is a buttock lift?
Buttock lift is a surgical procedure that improves the contours and reshapes of the buttocks giving a more shapely appearance. This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat around the buttock area. Then the skin is positioned to create a more tone and contoured look. Aging, UV exposure, pregnancy, severe weight changes, and genetic factors may all contribute to poor tissue elasticity combined with loss of volume, resulting in buttock drooping. If this is an undesired outcome for you, this can be corrected for by the excess sagging skin and fat being removed to provide a smoother and more attractive contour. At the GHB clinic, this operation is often performed combined with a tummy tuck, also known as a body lift. Another popular option is buttocks lift with liposuction. Liposuction is performed to remove the excess fat and freeing up the skin that needs to be lifted for the buttocks lift.

What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?Gastric sleeve surgery is a surgical procedure that reduces your stomach size.

How does it work?The surgery removes a part of the stomach, reducing its size by 75% thus leaving the left side in a long sleeve shape. While three-quarters of the stomach is removed it retains all its previous functions resulting in a smaller efficient stomach that limits your food intake because of its size. Furthermore, the stomach produces hormones such as gastrin and ghrelin which are associated with the feeling of hunger, so removing a part of the stomach would decrease the level of these hormones as well as your appetite. The rest of the pouch is closed using medical staples and manual stitching to prevent any legates from occurring (doctors could perform a fluid test while operating to validate). During this period of time the patient will be under the effect of general aesthetics and the operation could last between 1-2 hours.

Possible risks are : Acid reflux – gastric juice leaks into oesophagus damaging the mucosal layer ( to deal with this antacid medication must be taken up until 3 months after the surgery Blood clots – form due to a lower blood flow in the veins ( to prevent this there should be exercise wherever it is possible, smoking is also damaging and it creates blood clots) Vomiting and nausea – they get better with time Dumping syndrome – occurs when food enters the small intestine too quickly, causing diarrhoea, sweating and bloating (refrain from eating and drinking at the same time or rushing when having a meal) Infections

RecoveryAfter your stay at the hospital (normally 2 days) it is normal to feel tired the first few days. When a week has passed, you may return to work, though it is recommended to rest 2-3 weeks until your body stabilises. Everyday activities should be comfortable to perform within 4-6 weeks but from 3-6 months some symptoms might develop for this short period of time such as mood changes, tiredness, thinning hair or dry skin (due to the excessive weight loss). However, the ongoing treatment will include our doctors continuously consulting with you helping in creating an exercise plan and a controlled diet. Blood tests might be required to check the progress of the individual. A healthy lifestyle maximises results and reduces risks to a great extent so a patient should exercise, stay hydrated and change their diet and eating habits
