San francisco abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, otherwise known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure intended to provide 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 may be carried out in a surgical center, office or hospital, and most commonly involves either general anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedation. The procedure is usually completed within two to five hours.

The surgeon starts by making an incision from hipbone to hipbone, along with another incision which frees the bellybutton from its surrounding tissue. By separating and lifting the skin, the vertical muscles are revealed and can then be tightened. The skin flap is then brought back down and the extra skin cut away. Before the incisions are closed, the bellybutton has a new hole cut for it and is stitched into place.

After the procedure, most patients find that they can return to work within two to four weeks, though more strenuous activities should be avoided 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.
