Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is surgery aimed at restoring a firm and toned appearance to the abdominal region by removing excess skin and fat and, in the great majority of cases, repairing the diastasis of the straight abdominal muscles. After excision of the excess skin, the navel (often called the “sad navel”) is repositioned to obtain a more youthful and harmonious result.
Types of Abdominoplasty:
Classic abdominoplasty: when flaccidity is accentuated and correction of the straight abdominal muscles is required. Excess skin is removed at the top and bottom of the navel.
Lipoabdominoplasty: to obtain a greater definition of the abdominal region, Abdominoplasty can be combined with Liposuction to improve the contour and definition.
Miniabdominoplasty: the excess skin is removed only in the area below the navel. Indicated for moderate flaccidity.
SCARS
The scar of an Abdominoplasty is a horizontal line in the pubic area, known as the “bikini line”. We are talking about a scar identical to a caesarean section, but larger in size, which will be hidden by underwear. The size of the scar varies according to the amount of skin to be removed.
