Abdominal plasty LONDON, GENEVA LYON
This procedure helps tighten the skin on the abdomen and the muscles of the abdominal wall, often loosened by repeated pregnancies or significant weight loss.
THE PROCEDURE
The surgeon pulls the skin on the abdomen down and makes a horizontal incision around the pubis.
This is performed in combination with liposuction before abdominal muscles are tightened.
It may be necessary to cut the navel and make a discrete incision to pull it out.
THE AFTER-EFFECTS
Abdominal plasty requires hospitalization for about 4 to 5 days.
A girdle must be worn night and day for one month, together with compression stockings to prevent circulation and swelling problems.
It is recommended to plan on resting for 15 days to a month, depending on the case.
Dressings must be applied and changed at home by a nurse throughout the entire wound-healing period.
Exercising and athletic activities must be suspended for one month.
