Did you know that with the new Bikini surgery, you can get a full hip replacement without having to cut all the important muscles and tendons in your hip?
That means the recovery is so much easier, and that’s not even the coolest part of the Bikini procedure. You can learn all about it, or even schedule an appointment, at https://mskdoctors.com
Bikini Basics
The Bikini surgery is a new option for total hip replacement, that works a little differently.
For the first time ever, there’s a simple solution to minimising how visible the scar is, and that’s just one of a whole list of benefits.
Of course, the scar isn’t actually gone, it’s still there, it’s just a lot harder to see. Let me explain.
With a traditional hip replacement, the surgical team would typically require a longer incision, with no way to make it blend in. On top of that, most traditional options require cuts to certain key muscles and tendons in your hip, which leaves you with more surgical damage to heal, and a longer recovery.
Bikini is different, because the surgical team can use a smaller incision that’s hidden in your hip line, and avoid cutting those important parts of your hip that you’ll need for standing and walking.
Road To Recovery
Let’s pretend for the moment that you’ve decided Bikini is right for you, you’ve spoken to a specialist at MSK Doctors and booked your appointment – what should you expect after the surgery?
A brand new hip, obviously, and a lot of soreness, I’m sure – but you’ll also be back on your feet the very same day, able to practise walking and standing with crutches.
While many people get the idea that Bikini is all about reducing the scar, it’s so much more than that. Sure, it does start with an incision designed to minimise the visible signs, but every other step of the procedure is focused on minimising your bleeding, surgical trauma, and recovery time.
The research agrees, folks who get the Bikini technique tend to recover faster, and with significantly less pain, than with a traditional hip replacement. Clinical trials also suggest that the Bikini technique reduces your chance of a post-operative dislocation or limp, likely due to the extra strength you still have from those undamaged muscles and tendons.
You Have Options
By now we know that the Bikini surgery has a lot of benefits – but what you might not know is that it’s not your only choice, or even your only choice for an advanced technique with a fast recovery.
In some cases, you might not even be able to get the Bikini technique, just due to your personal anatomy or needs. It’s not a big deal though – because there’s another option that’s just as good, with a slightly different focus.
If you can’t get Bikini, ask about SPAIRE.
I won’t bother going into a ton of detail, let’s just say that this technique uses some similar strategies to really minimise your surgical trauma, speed up your recovery, and prevent damage to important muscles in your hip.
The right technique for you will depend on a few factors – and the best way to be sure is to simply ask a professional.
You don’t need a referral from your GP, and there’s never a waiting list, so it’s easier than you might think. You can even schedule your own appointments, online or over the phone.
