Abdominoplasty after weight loss

Abdominoplasty, also referred to as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure providing a flatter, more pleasing abdomen. Excess fat and skin are removed from the abdomen and the muscles of the abdominal wall tightened in order to achieve this. This procedure can be performed in a surgical center, office or hospital, and usually involves the use of either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation. The procedure can take anywhere from two to five hours to complete.

The surgeon will begin by making an incision from hipbone to hipbone, along with another incision which frees the bellybutton from its adjoining tissue. 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 excess skin cut away. The bellybutton has a new hole cut for it and is stitched into place. The incisions are then stitched closed.

After the procedure, most patients go back to work within two to four weeks, though more strenuous activities may need to be postponed for four to six weeks. The following potential risks and complications can occur with abdominoplasty surgery: bleeding under the skin flap, blood clots, conspicuous scarring, infection, poor healing, skin loss, and the need for additional surgery.
