What is abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision, which runs through the abdomen in the lower part of the pubic area. The excess skin and fat is then removed, so that the internal musculature and any other problems of patient may be repaired.

This is done by performing internal sutures in the abdominal wall, which will be permanent and are very similar to the zigzag, so that the abdominal muscles that have already been repaired can be kept in place.

After this, the surgeon closes the incision with stitches known as fading. Finally, place the navel by making a second incision, which will be hidden in the navel. Once surgery is complete, the area is covered with soft bands and a special garment that can help compress.

In this way it creates a support that also helps to minimize inflammation. Drainage is also placed, which helps the area recover faster. In some cases, if the situation requires it, before performing abdominoplasty, a liposuction is performed in the area to remove excess fat.
