The cosmetic surgery of belly fat concerns both women and men. This procedure essentially interests patients who suffer from a falling belly, stretch marks, skin sagging, etc. It is one of the most common procedures that are performed in all over the world.
Why should I prefer Abdominoplasty?
This procedure is used to firm and reshape damaged abdominal muscles. Rapid loss of weight, aging, hormonal imbalance are the major causes of abdominal skin problems: stretch marks, buckling, accumulation of fatty clumps in the abdomen, scars, stretch marks, losing skin elasticity, etc. The reasons are commonly originating from aesthetical concerns.
Nevertheless, abdominoplasty could be performed for functional or reparative reasons. Excessive accumulation of fat on the organs of the abdomen can cause pain in the pelvis or back because of the high pressure on the muscles of the lumbar region. Infections may also appear between the folds of the sagged skin.
What happens during a Abdominoplasty Procedure?
Abdominoplasty could be performed partially (mini tummy tuck) or fully depending on the condition of the patient. The main difference between partial or full abdominoplasty is that during the partial one, the belly button (navel) is not repositioned. If the patient has a great deal of excess fat below the navel, full abdominoplasty must be performed. Abdominoplasty can be performed with other cosmetic surgery procedures such as liposuction. It is an ideal procedure to get a younger, flatter shapely looking abdomen. According to Dr. Serbulent Guzey, the fear of having visible scar tissues on the abdomens is totally unnecessary. During the operation, small incisions are made near the pubic area so that patients can comfortably wear their bikinis.
This procedure is conducted under general anesthesia. The duration of abdominoplasty surgery depends on the complexity of the patient’s case and the technic used by the surgeon. For the majority, it could be performed in 2.5 hours and the patient will need to be hospitalized for one day. Patients may safely travel by an airplane 7 days after the operation.
