Abdominoplasty in Prague
Abdominoplasty definition
Abdominal plastic surgery offers a solution by flattening the slack skin and tightening the muscles of the relaxed abdominal wall, which frequently occurs after pregnancy or a distinct weight loss. If needed, excess subcutaneous fatty tissue can be removed as well. The appearance and functional results of the surgery are substantial, although scars are inevitable in order to remove excessive skin. It leaves a permanent scar. However, it will fade with time and its quality differs per individual.
Abdominoplasty surgery procedure
The operation is performed under general anaesthetic. The incision and resulting scar runs closely above the pubic hair within the entire width between the hip bones. Consequently, the scar is situated where it is easily covered with underwear along its entire length. This approach will bring about the best general effects. In the case of larger overweight patients sometimes the scar will sit higher as it can ride upwards. In addition to removing excess skin slack, the surgery also includes the transfer of the navel to a new position, reinforcement of the abdominal wall by suturing loose muscles, and subcutaneous tissue removal if required.
Abdominoplasty surgery aftercare
Patients stay in the clinic usually for 2 to 3 days. The bandage should be changed one week after the operation. Total rest is essential for about 14 days after the surgery and the patient may get back into a full workload after about 6 weeks of gradual recovery.
The sensation of skin pulling and altered tenderness in the affected areas are common side effects, and they will disappear in a couple of weeks.
Abdominoplasty surgery risks
When a abdominoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities, and the outcome is never completely predictable. Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon),sensation disturbances (usually temporary), infection, uneven contour, pigmentation changes and reactions to the anesthesia. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers. You can reduce your risks by closely following advices mentioned above both before and after surgery.
