What comes to mind when we think of a beautiful female body? Full hips, medium-sized breasts and a slim waist… Generally speaking, this is the body type that springs to mind. Having a slim waist is particularly important for women. A slim waist is one of the most important features that distinguishes women from men in terms of appearance. Even shirts are designed with this in mind.
Many clothing tricks designed for women include tricks created to make the waistline appear deeper. But is it really impossible to have a slim waist? Some of us are not naturally built that way, while others make matters worse by gaining weight. The fat we accumulate around our stomach and waist also causes us to lose our waistline.
In the field of aesthetics, which makes almost anything possible in terms of appearance, it is also possible to make the waist appear slimmer.
This cosmetic surgery has been the subject of much speculation since it first appeared. Some doctors interpreted it as going against the body’s own structure and anatomical shape and strongly opposed it. The rest of the doctors believed that anything goes in aesthetics and that perhaps it was best to leave the decision of whether or not to do it up to the women themselves.
This controversial procedure continues to fuel women’s dreams. Described by many doctors as an “extreme” surgery, is waist reduction surgery really as bad as so many doctors claim, or is it just a matter of unnecessary fears?
It is somewhat challenging to be a suitable candidate for this procedure, which is not performed in Turkey. Unlike other procedures, it is not sufficient to simply make a decision and consult your doctor. While this procedure, which is not available to everyone, is a dream for women who are unable to emphasise their feminine features, doctors continue to have reservations about it.
How is waist-slimming aesthetics, which is subject to so much speculation, fear and debate, performed?
Waist thinning aesthetics is performed together with tummy tuck operation. Because the fact that the waist hollow is not obvious is generally due to the excess weight of the person. This problem is not seen in many people who have a fit abdomen.
In cosmetic surgery performed under general anaesthesia, the abdominal skin is opened up to the ribs with an incision that will remain in the groin area. The lowest ribs are pulled back at this stage to create a more hollow appearance on the sides of the waist. In other words, the ribs are not completely removed. Only the position of the 11th and 12th ribs, which do not connect at the front, is changed. At the same time, a tummy tuck is also performed. This leaves the patient with a fit stomach and a slim waist.
Although it may sound like a difficult operation when described, this procedure is easier than you might think. Although many doctors know how to perform it, it is still not widely practised due to a lack of demand.
Many doctors and women are concerned that this operation is also known as “rib removal”. Complete removal of the rib bones can cause serious health problems. This is because the ribs are a complex structure that protects not only our lungs but also our other organs to a large extent. Doctors, of course, are aware of this and do not completely remove the ribs during waist-slimming surgeries. There is a risk of damaging the lungs or internal organs when repositioning the ribs. However, this risk can arise from inexperienced doctors. Your doctor will not hesitate to tell you if you are not a suitable candidate.
On the other hand, it is an operation that many celebrities, especially in Europe and America, resort to for a more aesthetic appearance, and the rest of the celebrities cannot escape the rumours about it.
