Abdominoplasty after gastric bypass

Abdominoplasty, also referred to as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure producing a flatter, more pleasing abdomen. This is achieved by removing excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen and by tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.

This procedure can take place in a surgical center, office or hospital, and typically involves the use of either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation. Two to five hours is typically required to complete the procedure.

The surgeon begins the procedure by making an incision from hipbone to hipbone, along with another incision which frees the bellybutton from the tissue around it. The abdominal muscles are revealed by separating and lifting the skin. The surgeon will then tighten these muscles. The skin flap is then brought back down and the extra skin cut away. Once a new hole is cut for the bellybutton, it is then stitched into place, and the incisions are then closed.

After the procedure, most patients find that they can return to work within two to four weeks, though more strenuous activities may need to be avoided for four to six weeks. Complications which can occur with abdominoplasty surgery may include the following: bleeding under the skin flap, blood clots, conspicuous scarring, infection, poor healing, skin loss, and the need for additional surgery.
