Introduction
Scarless surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which surgery is done through a single entry point, the belly button or umbilicus. Scarless surgery is superior to traditional laparoscopy which has four to five keyholes. The surgeon uses specialized instruments for single port surgeries, which are inserted through a single cut made around the belly button.
Benefits of Scarless Surgery:
One of the most revolutionary techniques is single port laparoscopic or scarless surgery, where near or no scar is achieved. It is a cosmetic procedure, particularly for younger individuals. The benefits of scarless surgery are minimal blood loss, near to no scar, less duration of hospital stay, faster healing, easy return to normal life, less discomfort, and less pain.
What Surgical Procedures Are Done in a Scarless Way?
The surgical procedures done in a scarless way are:
-
Gallbladder removal.
-
Appendix removal.
-
Ovarian cyst removal.
-
Uterus removal.
-
Family planning.
How Is the Equipment Designed for Scarless Surgery?
A laparoscope is connected to a high-intensity light source and high-resolution camera, which in turn is connected to a monitor, and the abdominal cavity is viewed with this equipment design. The cutting-edge technology is used in scarless procedures and a higher level of expertise.
What Is the Difference Between Traditional Laparoscopy and Single Incision or Scarless Laparoscopy Procedure?
In traditional laparoscopy surgery, three to four cuts are made through which ports are inserted. The magnified image of the internal organs is observed on the television screen with the help of a camera attached to a telescope inserted through one of the ports. The instruments are introduced through the ports to carry out the surgery. In single-incision laparoscopy surgery, only one incision is made, with three thin ports placed side by side. This port will carry the telescope and laparoscopic instruments, after which an identical operation is carried out as traditional laparoscopy.
How Does Scarless Plastic Surgery Work?
Scarless plastic surgery is an alternative to traditional skin tightening treatments where there is no need for incisions. In-mode radiofrequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL) is used to perform scarless plastic surgery. The application of RFAL is for face tite and body tite. Face tite improves the skin laxity of the face and neck, which delivers safe and effective treatment. Body tite sets right the sagging upper arms, abdominal skin laxity, etc.
What Types of Scarless Plastic Surgery Are Performed?
The types of incisions and scarless plastic surgery that are performed are:
-
In tummy tuck surgery, the appearance of tummy roles is reduced as it tightens the skin along the stomach. Abdominal skin laxity is reduced.
-
Scarless facelift and neck lift.
-
Scarless arm lift.
-
Scarless breast lift.
-
Scarless thigh lift.
-
Scarless skin tightening.
-
Cellulite treatment.
How Are Scarless Facelift and Neck Lift Surgery Performed?
Scarless facelift and neck lift procedure is highly individualized and helps to improve the cheeks, Jowls, and neck. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia using the InMode system and an impressive selection of anti-aging treatment modalities such as Facetite, Fractora and sometimes fat grafting. This procedure will help eliminate deep wrinkles, poor skin quality, sagging skin, volume loss, and fine lines in one procedure without any scars. Radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) is the most advanced treatment for facial and body contouring with concurrent skin tightening. Radiofrequency is used in this procedure to simultaneously lift and tighten where there is no need to excise the skin as in traditional face and neck lifts. With faceTite application, the skin looks better, and over three months to one year, there will be continuous improvement as new collagen is formed. The length of the procedure might take one to three hours, depending upon the components of the scarless facelift. After the procedure, swelling is more significant in patients who require fat grafting as a part of a scarless procedure and might be present for several weeks. Incisions are not made in the procedure, so there is no need for suture removal.
How Does Tummy Tuck Surgery Work?
In this procedure, highly controlled heat is applied by the radiofrequency assisted lipolysis to the stomach and abdomen. Electric current is created by a controlled thermal field that flows between the internal and external electrodes. Subcutaneous fat is coagulated by thermal field and heats septa and papillary dermis, which causes retraction of skin and tissue almost by shrink wrapping. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia; the patient mostly returns to work after a few days. There might be swelling for five to seven days with no bruising. As there are no incisions, suture is not required.
How Is Scarless Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
This procedure will reshape and lift the breasts and treat the area scarless as there is no need for scalpels. InMode radio frequency-assisted lipolysis is used for advanced skin tightening. A tiny cannula is leveraged to create an electric current beneath the skin surface with an external electrode. The thermal field coagulates subcutaneous fat and heats the fat cells and papillary dermis, tightening the breast tissue. Therefore, the breasts are raised and bolster their firmness.
How Does Scarless Arm Lift Surgery Work?
Loss of skin elasticity, sagging skin, and excess fat in the upper arms results in sagging upper arms, which can be corrected with scalpel-free and scarless options. High-controlled heat is applied to the upper arm using InMode radio frequency-assisted lipolysis. Electric current is created by controlled thermal fields which flow between an internal and external electrode. A thermal field coagulates subcutaneous fat and heats fat cells and the papillary dermis, which causes the retraction of skin and tissue.
Conclusion
Scarless surgery is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal pain, no visible scar, faster recovery, fewer wound complications, and a very low recurrence rate.
