Question: I'm trying to learn about abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty is a common operation in plastic surgery. The results are
usuallyquite satisfactory. Removing excess skin and tightening abdominal
muscles improve your shape and figure. You can more easily find properly
fitting clothingand will be more comfortable engaging in physical activity.
Can anyone share with me some more information?
Answer: Abdominoplasty is a procedure in which excessive skin and fat are removed
from the middle or lower part of the abdomen. Distended skin is removed, the
abdominal musculature reinforced, and the lower abdomen are rejuvenated.
The
appearance and profile of the lower abdomen may be improved by removing
skin folds, scarring and stretch marks.
Multiple pregnancies and marked fluctuations in weight are most frequently
responsible, as they stretch the abdominal wall tissues. Sometimes the
deeper elastic structures of the skin are torn, resulting in stretch marks.
These
may be more evident because of the laxity of the stretched skin. Proper diet
and
exercise may help up to a point after weight loss or pregnancy, but no
amount of
exercise will take away skin laxity and folds.
Weight control may help if there is excess fat under the skin, but drastic
weight
loss may accentuate skin folds and stretch marks. Wearing a girdle helps
retain weak tissues in place and holds the abdomen in a better
configuration, but it will not help the quality or appearance of the skin. A
girdle should not be worn
all the time, as it will tend to weaken the abdominal muscles.
