Abdominoplasty, what about this surgery flat stomach?

Ah, a flat stomach ... Who does not dream? Unfortunately, this is an area of ​​the body that is difficult to correct. And many women, looking for a definitive and radical solution, eventually whether the tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is not their solution. Warning, this choice should not be done without careful consideration ... 

Abdominoplasty, tummy tuck: the "very" serious for a flat stomach 

The tummy tuck is a major operation. It is usually recommended for people who have gained and lost a lot of weight, or had one or more pregnancies, and whose belly remained distorted: stretched skin, stretch marks, skin folds that fall "in apron" on the pubis, etc. .

The tummy tuck is recommended for obese people for whom surgery is risky in general: better start losing pounds.

The tummy tuck is to remove the most damaged skin of the abdomen portions. The surgeon then tightens the remaining skin for a smooth, flat belly.

Incidentally, the navel should generally be repositioned, that is to say, it is cut and sewn in the right place. The scar is important, usually several tens of centimeters, but located in a relatively quiet area (in the lower abdomen, the pubic hairline and into the hollow of the groin).

Abdominoplasty is often combined with small complementary procedures: liposuction to remove any localized fat deposits on the stomach but have not been removed by the tummy tuck, and intervention on the abdominal muscles, which are also sometimes weakened by pregnancy.

Everything can be done during the same operation.

Flat stomach surgery: important suites

We see a tummy tuck is not an intervention without consequences.

It takes two days to a week of hospitalization, bandages for about two weeks and wearing a jacket that is used to reduce edema (swelling due to the aggression of the surgery) for at least six weeks.

You do not observe the results of the tummy tuck when you leave the operating room. Before you get a good idea of ​​the "new stomach", it is necessary that the swelling and bruises subside.

The scar from the tummy tuck, she moves more slowly: it is only a year later she began to have its final appearance.
