This procedure is designed to reshape and restore tone to abdominal tissue that has sagged and become loose due to pregnancy, repeated weight fluctuations, and advancing age.
This procedure is not actually intended for weight loss or fat reduction. Therefore, it is important for individuals seeking the surgery to have realistic expectations.
It removes excess skin resulting from weight loss. By repairing weakened and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), it contributes to a more dynamic appearance.
By strengthening the abdominal muscles, it reduces back and lower back pain. It improves posture and helps the individual change their clothing habits.
SURGERY
The surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia. The incisions made for the surgery are positioned to be concealed within the bikini line. Liposuction is applied to the upper abdomen and waist areas to slim these regions. The abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened. This helps define the waistline. After excess skin is removed, drains are placed.
RECOVERY PROCESS
Your need for assistance on the first day will gradually decrease, and you will return to your normal life in about 10 days. Strenuous exercise is not recommended for at least 6 weeks. Final results are achieved once the swelling has completely subsided.
