What is Abdominoplasty
The Abdominal surgery, also known as Abdominoplasty, is performed to correct sagging skin in the abdomen. The procedure results in firmer skin, better adjustment of the abdominal muscles and a well-shaped “flat belly”.
However, despite being a reshaping plastic surgery that allows the person look thinner, this procedure is not associated with weight loss.
Medical Travel Brazil has partnered with some of the best surgeons who, in addition to being experts and researchers in the area, are nationally and internationally renowned for the quality and exclusivity of the care provided and precision in surgical results. Here we explain the real benefits of the procedure and how we can improve your quality of life with a highly safe and warmly supported medical trip by our team of Concierges, Doctors and Nurses.
Who is a good candidate for abdominoplasty surgery?
The first point to be discussed before considering abdominoplasty is that this surgery is not indicated for fit, healthy patients who do not have weak abdominal muscles. Instead, this cosmetic surgery is indicated for women who have gone through several pregnancies, resulting in excess skin and separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis). Also, it is indicated for people who have had significant weight loss and those who, due to genetics, have excess fat deposits in the abdominal area.
What is the difference between Abdominoplasty and Liposuction?
Many people do not know the difference between an abdominoplasty and liposuction. At first, both can be associated with a leaner abdominal area. However, as stated above, the abdominoplasty aims to remove excess skin and correct a possible loosening of the abdominal muscles. In liposuction, the objective is to remove fat located in the abdomen, which can cause sagging resulting from excess skin. This leads to the indication of having both surgeries on the same day.
How is the abdominoplasty aesthetic surgery accomplished?
Abdominoplasty surgery is usually performed in the hospital, since the patient usually associates the procedure with other corrections, such as liposuction. In the operating room, the anesthesiologist applies an epidural or, in some cases, spinal anesthesia with sedation, so the patient is asleep during the procedure. In cases of other surgical procedures in the same session, general anesthesia is indicated. The abdominal area is cleaned by a team of nurses, making it safe for the abdominoplasty specialist cut lines from one hip to the other. Thus, the abdomen tissue is lifted and corrections to remove sagging skin and fat are performed, in addition to the fixation of the musculature, if necessary.
