Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, The abdominal area is in the centre of the human body between the chest and the pelvis. It contains all the digestive organs such as stomach, liver, small and large intestines, pancreas and gallbladder. 

All these organs are linked to each other flaccidly by tissues. They are able to expand and slide against each other. Many blood veins pass by the tummy and kidneys and spleen are also here. 

Perforating branches of the inferior and superior epigastric arteries and vessels procure the fat and blood supply. There are anchoring fascial areas, like the ASIS and umbilicus which ensure structural support for the abdominal skin. 

Although the abdominal skin is usually tight, several factors may cause the skin to loosen, such as:

• overweight in the abdominal area,
• skin prolapse that after rapid weight loss,
• post-pregnancy weight loss. 

People tend to move less in the current working conditions of society. Many of us are doing our jobs sitting all day long. Not only the lack of physical activity but also the malnutrition cause overweight. 

We also have to mention an important point: weight gain in pregnancy. Needless to say that losing weight is the only option to get rid of the fat, but there can occur another problem which is skin prolapse. 

Skin prolapse usually appears after rapid weight loss and causes aesthetically poor appearance. It is a situation that upsets people who have treated their overweight problems and annoys them with a new problem. 

As with weight loss, tummy cannot adapt to rapid changes and cracked skin problem can show up. Abdominoplasty is the most efficient treatment to get rid of the saggy skin problem in the short term.

What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery operation aspire to make tummy thinner and tighter. The surgery involves the removal of saggy skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Patients with loose or sagging tissues usually seek this type of surgery after pregnancy or significant weight loss. 

The doctors decide the right application technique after the exhaustive diagnosis of the problematic area. They make an incision from hip to just above the pubic area. Then the surgeon makes another incision around the belly button to free the surrounding skin. 

In addition to sagging and slackness, excess fat in the abdomen is removed by liposuction if steatopygia exists.

Postoperative sagging, looseness and cracked skin problems after pregnancy or gaining excess weight are eliminated. However; in case of another pregnancy followed by child birthing, some of these problems reoccur again. 

Sutures are removed after 1-3 weeks. You can go back to work in 2 to 4 weeks. After a few months, you will feel completely the same. You can do all your physical activities.
