Abdominal reshaping and abdominal laxity correction
THE'abdominoplasty It is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the abdomen by eliminating excess skin and fat, improving the body contour and restoring tone to the abdominal wall. It is recommended for patients who wish to:
- Eliminate the fat apron
- Correct abdominal laxity
- Improve sagging skin after pregnancy
- Reshaping the abdomen after significant weight loss
- Treat localized fat deposits and muscle diastasis
Factors such as pregnancy, significant weight loss, or genetic predisposition can cause tissue sagging, stretch marks, and a loss of the abdomen's natural firmness. This procedure allows for a flatter, more toned, and more proportionate abdomen.
The preoperative phase is crucial for personalized surgery planning. During the specialist examination, the surgeon analyzes the quantity and quality of the skin, the distribution of adipose tissue, and the integrity of the muscle wall, assessing the possible presence of diastasis recti.
- Duration: 2 - 3 hours
- Anesthesia: spinal
- Day surgery: Yes
The postoperative recovery includes the use of a compression garment and a gradual return to normal activities. Recovery times vary depending on the individual's response. Generally:
- Resumption of light activities: about 15 days
- Gradual resumption of daily activities in the following weeks
The result is a flatter, more toned and harmonious abdomen compared to the rest of the body.
