Abdominoplasty
Treatments Woman / Body
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at removing skin and fat from the lower abdomen, with treatment of muscle diastasis when necessary.
For those who are recommended Abdominoplasty
- Loose abdominal skin: Abdominoplasty is often performed on people with excessively loose abdominal skin due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.
- Diastasis of the abdominal muscles: Diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles is an abnormal separation of these muscles that can occur during pregnancy or due to muscle weakening over time. Abdominoplasty can correct this condition by tightening the abdominal muscles and restoring their normal position. The measure to consider significant diastasis is 2.4 cm.
- Excess abdominal fat: In addition to removing excess skin, abdominoplasty can also involve the surgical removal of persistent fat deposits in the abdomen.
- Abdominal stretch marks: Although abdominoplasty is not specifically intended to treat stretch marks, the procedure can help remove stretch marks located within the area of skin removed during surgery.
- Improvement in self-esteem: For some people, dissatisfaction with the appearance of the abdomen can significantly affect their self-esteem and quality of life. Abdominoplasty can help improve self-image and confidence.
