Abdominoplasty (cosmetic abdominal surgery)
Having a firm and well-shaped abdomen is the dream of many people. If you also like to have a flat and firm abdomen and to achieve this goal, you have exercised and followed a strict diet, but the desired result has not been achieved, abdominoplasty surgery is one of the options you have.
Abdominoplasty is a procedure in which excess fat and skin on the abdomen are removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. The result of this surgery is not permanent and the patient, in order to maintain the result, must maintain their new style after the surgery by having a healthy diet and exercising.
Patients decide to have abdominoplasty for a variety of reasons; Such as weakening abdominal muscles after pregnancy or excessive weight loss and etc.
It should be noted that abdominoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that, unlike slimming surgery, is not performed to treat the patient; Therefore, if you suffer from obesity or have diseases such as diabetes due to obesity, we do not recommend this surgery and we recommend surgeries that are mostly done for treatment, such as gastric sleeve.
The following eligible people can have abdominoplasty surgery:
- People who, in addition to being in perfect health and being away from smoking, have an ideal weight and have realistic expectations of the outcome of abdominoplasty surgery
- Women who no longer intend to become pregnant and have weight stability
- Women whose skin and abdominal muscles are stretched and loose after pregnancy
- People who, after losing a lot of weight, have extra skin hanging around their abdomen
- People who are physically fit but always have a tummy
Abdominal cosmetic surgery procedure
It is interesting to know that we have two types of cosmetic abdominal surgery, which are as follows:
- Mini abdominoplasty
- Complete abdominoplasty
First of all, you should know that both operations are performed under general anesthesia. The main difference in the types of abdominoplasties is the amount of incision that will be made to make changes. In mini abdominoplasty, a small incision will be made in the lower abdomen, but in other methods, the incision will be wider.
The incision made in mini-abdominoplasty or mini tummy tuck will be in the lower abdomen or under the navel, then the excess fat and skin will be removed and the abdominal muscles will be repaired and tightened. In mini-abdominoplasty, there is no need to cut and move the navel.
The duration of the operation is 3 to 4 hours for tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, but for mini tummy tuck or mini abdominoplasty surgery, this time is less and will be about 1 to 2.5 hours.
Also, the recovery period after mini-abdominoplasty is shorter.
