Abdominoplasty
A technique especially indicated for reconstructing the abdominal area in patients with excess skin and fat, loss of elasticity, and weakened or distended abdominal muscles. This condition is often seen in individuals who have experienced significant weight fluctuations or women after multiple pregnancies.
The surgical procedure involves reconstructing the abdominal wall by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. This results in a flatter, firmer abdomen and a more defined waistline.
Since the procedure restores the muscular wall, some discomfort may occur in the first few days, but it can be easily managed with painkillers.
During the recovery period, it is important to:
- Start walking as soon as possible.
- Avoid intense exercise to prevent tension on the sutures.
- Wear a compression garment for the first month.
It is recommended to wait between 3 to 6 months after a natural birth. In the case of a C-section, the waiting period is usually extended to 6 months.
Yes, abdominoplasty does not affect the ability to become pregnant. However, a future pregnancy may once again alter the abdomen.
All stretch marks located in the lower abdomen, within the portion of skin removed, will be eliminated.
In most cases, the results are permanent, provided there are no significant weight fluctuations or future pregnancies.
