Who doesn’t want to be the owner of a perfect belly - flat and firm, like an athlete or in his youth? Losing a beautiful shape in the waist area is associated with age, pregnancy and childbirth, hormonal changes, sudden weight gain, or loss.
At the same time, diets and sports are often powerless. But there is a way to return attractiveness to this part of the body, and to person confidence - this is abdominoplasty or plastic surgery of the abdomen. After the operation, besides solving aesthetic problems, several physiological disorders as umbilical hernias, prolapse of some organs, etc. will be prevented.
To get the figure of your dreams, you need to take the first step - sign up for a free consultation at the Dobrobut MC clinic in Kyiv. The plastic surgeon will listen to the client, simulate on a computer what the final result will look like, tell about the nuances of the operation, and prescribe the necessary examination.
Abdominal defects can be congenital or acquired. They are conventionally grouped into 3 groups:
As for the categories of patients, women are more often concerned about body shaping, although recently the tummy tuck procedure is gaining popularity among men.
There are the following basic surgical techniques:
According to another classification, abdominal plastic surgery can be vertical or lateral. Accordingly, the midline of the abdominal wall or the lateral lines of the abdomen is cut. The last option is less traumatic and with a short rehabilitation.
The specialist of the clinic MC “Dobrobut” offers the most optimal variant of the operation for each specific case, discusses it with the client, informs about the price of a tummy tuck and the nuances of the service.
Non-pathological conditions: pregnancy and high obesity.
The duration of abdominoplasty surgery is on average 2-4 hours. General anesthesia is used for pain relief. In a hospital in a comfortable environment, you will have to spend from 2 to 5 days. The drainage will be removed after 48 hours, the stitches after 1-2 weeks. There is a staff at the disposal of patients who are ready to come and help immediately.
At home, you must strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations and support the abdomen with an elastic band. Sports will have to be abandoned for a period of 2 months to six months. It all depends on the complexity of the surgery.
Long-lasting results are visible within 2-4 months. With a stable weight and a normal hormonal background, attractive contours in the abdomen will remain for many years, practically for a lifetime.
Side effects include swelling, moderate pain, temporary hematomas, low sensitivity in the intervention area. The greater the patient’s weight and the thicker the fatty tissue, the higher the risks of developing complications as irregularities, asymmetry in the abdominal wall, infections, and seromas.
The cost of surgical intervention depends on the amount of work and materials used and is calculated by the doctor in each case individually.
