The abdomen is a part of the body that is easily subject to the excess of fat, deformities, imperfections. Pregnancies, sudden weight loss or gains and a decrease of muscle tone can cause skin excess, fat accumulation and the appearance of stretch marks.
Keeping a dry and toned belly is the desire of many women and men. In many cases neither proper nutrition nor physical activity are enough not to feel dissatisfaction with your body. Luckily, there is a solution, called abdominoplasty, a surgery that guarantees a new tone to the abdomen, remove the discomfort of a overhanging belly and that gives back harmony to the silhouette.
With the first consultation I make sure that the patient is in good health, I explain the risks and possible complications. I also illustrate the achievable results (realistic and in line with patient wishes).
During the surgery, performed under general anesthesia, I make very low incisions in the pubis area hip to hip to prepare a flap and then remove the excess fat and skin. I always reinforce The abdominal muscle fascia in order to reinforce and make the abdominal wall flatter. In the event of a DIASTASIS of the rectus muscles (separation of the abdominal muscles) this is always corrected with sutures in 3 layers that bring together the separated muscles and in some serious cases also through the use of mesh. In the event that there are hernias of the abdominal wall or in the umbilicus, these are also repaired. ”
Upon awakening it is frequent to feel some pain that vanishes in less than 5 days. After the surgery I first apply a compression bandage and later, a containment band to wear for another four weeks.
Some scars may be permanent but they will become small, slightly visible white marks. During the recovery, which can last from six to eight weeks, the rest from any physical activity is needed and, during the first two weeks, you should even avoid working. The result of all of this? A smooth abdomen, more tonic and in balance with the body.
