Benefits of Abdominoplasty
- Removal of excess skin and fat: Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat, improving the contour of the abdomen.
- Tightening of abdominal muscles: The surgery can repair and tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles, enhancing firmness.
- Improved body silhouette: The results include a more defined waist and a more harmonious figure.
- Increased self-confidence: Patients often experience a boost in self-esteem after the surgery.
Abdominoplasty Procedure
Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes between 2 and 4 hours. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen, from the left hip to the right hip. Excess skin and fat are then removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. Finally, the incision is sutured to close the procedure.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
After the surgery, it is essential to follow the surgeon’s instructions for proper recovery. This may include wearing a compression garment, avoiding intense physical activities, and resting sufficiently. Most patients can resume their normal activities after a few weeks.
