Abdominoplasty
Abdominal dermolipectomy
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure whose objective is the reconstruction of the abdominal wall, which consists of removing excess skin, excess fat and tension of the muscles of the abdominal wall with the ultimate goal of remodeling the abdomen, waist and the shape of the trunk of the body.
People who suffer from natural flaccidity in the stomach or because of a pregnancy, even a rapid loss of weight can benefit from a tummy tuck. This procedure has the purpose of recovering the firmness in the skin of these people, eliminating that fallen skin with fat that could not be eliminated.
Patients who have undergone important dietary regimens should be careful not to present malnutrition that would lead to complications during and after surgery. Some scars and stretch marks below the navel may disappear in the segment of skin and fat that is removed.
The average surgical time of a tummy tuck is 2 to 4 hours depending on each case. An incision is made at the pubic level, through the lower abdominal fold, at this time the exposed muscles are treated with points to define the contour and return the tone to the abdominal wall. Finally, the skin is sutured, leaving drainage tubes to prevent the accumulation of fluids.
