Abdominoplasty

What problem are solved by abdominoplasty?

1. Abdominal wall ptosis: saggy stomach, flabby skin lacking elasticity.

2. Divarication: a gap developed between abdominal muscles

3. Stretch marks, hernia, severe scarring after past surgeries

4. Lack of waistline due to body type.

Types of abdominoplasty

Mini-abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery in the lower part of abdomen that does not involve the navel. It is used if there is no significant excess of fat tissue in the area of the navel and above it, so it is sufficient to remove excessive skin in the lower part of the abdomen. This plastic surgery implies only minimal incisions in the lower abdomen.

Classical abdominoplasty is the removal of fat and skin, shift of the navel position and stitching up the divarication.

The classical abdominoplasty is used if there are significant deposits of abdominal fat, stretchmarks, distended and deformed abdominal skin, or “stomach apron”. The surgical access is through incisions made above the pubic bone and near the navel.

Endoscopic abdominoplasty implies only stitching up the divarication.

This surgery is for patients with still elastic skin and without excessive fat deposits, such as young women who want to regain a slim figure after childbirth. This surgery uses access through small perforations that are used to tighten the abdominal muscles.

Circular abdominoplasty is an extensive abdominoplasty where skin and fat are removed from the stomach, thighs, and the back.

This method is good for the patients:

• With low muscle tone in the whole body
• With a large amount of body fat
• With overstretched skin and stretchmarks on the back and sides
• With umbilical hernia

Abdominoplasty + abdominal liposuction

In some cases, to achieve better results, it is recommended to combine two types of plastic surgery: abdominoplasty and liposaction. The abdominal liposuction can be performed before abdominoplasty, during it or after it.

These details are usually discussed with a plastic surgeon when planning a surgery.

Abdominoplasty after childbirth or caesarean section

The abdominoplasty after childbirth is the fastest way to get rid of excessive fat and flabby skin. Abdominoplasty can be planned for one year after childbirth or later. During this time, the body will fully recover after delivery. After the caesarean section, this time is needed for the scar to heal completely.

The procedure of abdominoplasty is the same whether it is performed after delivery, after caesarean section or in women who did not bear children.
