abdominal surgery
Surgical procedures for the abdominal area are the following:
It is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and abdominal fat as well as muscle flaccidity. This situation of excess skin and relaxation of the abdominal area usually occurs in patients who have gained weight and subsequent loss or in women who have given birth several times. With tummy tuck you get a flatter, firmer abdomen and a narrower waist.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with an incision made above the pubic hair that extends to the hips. The skin of the abdomen is released and, if necessary, the abdominal muscles are reinforced with sutures. The excess skin is pulled down and removed.
TYPES OF ABDOMINOPLASTY:
The procedure that will be performed to the person in the abdominal area, will be determined by a competent professional depending on the case that suits each patient and the advantages or disadvantages that this includes. Depending on the patient’s need, one of the tummy tucks can be performed as mentioned below:
- Mini-tummy tuck without umbilical detachment
- Mini-tummy tuck with umbilical detachment
- Abdominoplasty with vertical scar
- Abdominoplasty in Lys flower
- Classic or standart abdominoplasty
- Abdominoplasty with lateral extensions
- Circumferential abdominoplasty or contourplasty
- Reverse or ascending tummy tuck
After the surgery the patient will wear a special girdle, reinforced with a bandage, according to each individual case. The scars around the navel and in the lower abdomen will improve over time. However, in some cases it is necessary to perform a cicatricial revision with local anesthesia.
It is a surgical technique used to remove fat deposits from certain areas of the body, including the cheeks and neck, arms and breasts, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, and knees and ankles. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss, but a method to remove localized accumulations of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. If you are considering liposuction, you will obtain basic information about the surgery, when it is indicated, how it is performed and what results can be expected when you consult a plastic surgeon.
Sometimes it is complementary to other interventions (facelift, abdominoplasty, etc.). Liposuction is usually done under local anesthesia, but in very extensive cases it will be performed under general anesthesia. The technique, which is always performed in an operating room, consists essentially in the aspiration of the fat through the introduction of a cannula that is connected to a vacuum machine, and making numerous tunnels in the previously marked area. Once the operation is done, a compressive bandage or an elastic garment will be used according to the treated area. It is normal that bruises appear and inflammation of the tissues in the aspirated area.
