Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Lax skin is a common consequence of bariatric weight loss, and it may require one or more plastic interventions.
This study carried out to investigate the effectiveness of High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in treatment of abdominal skin laxity post sleeve gastrectomy.

Experimental: high intensity focused ultrasound group
This group includes 43 patients who have abdominal skin laxity post sleeve gastrectomy and who will receive high intensity focused ultrasound.
patients will receive one session; time of session is 40 minutes.

Parameters: Transducer frequency 7-2-mhz 1.5-9.0-mm focal depth. The pulse duration for each individual exposure ranged from 25 to 40 milliseconds. Energy per ultrasound pulse ranged from 1.0 to 1.5 J |
Active Comparator: medical topical firming creams group
This group includes 43 patients who have abdominal skin laxity post sleeve gastrectomy and who will receive medical topical firming creams.

Assessment the change in abdominal skin laxity
Time Frame: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Assessment of abdominal skin laxity by the modified tissue tonometer : Mark multiple points to be measured. Include an equivalent normal skin point(s). Apply the MTT baseplate directly to the tissue through the holes in the template. Hold MTT vertically, with bubble of spirit level centered. Ensure no extra downward pressure is applied while resting the device on the tissue. Record the depression of the plunger in millimeters after 6 seconds. The patient must be able to remain immobile when the MTT is in contact. Repeat each point three times with at least 2 minutes' "rest" between attempts. Recalibrate the device to zero on a solid surface between each set of measures. To determine longitudinal change in measures, comparison of averaged score for individual points is appropriate and/or analysis of the change of individual sagging points difference from normal skin control point(s). |
