Cosmetic surgeries have many applicants and many expert and skilled doctors work in this field. Every cosmetic and even therapeutic procedure, along with all the benefits it has, definitely has side effects. Some complications are common and temporary and disappear after a while, and some complications occur rarely and may be permanent. In any case, it is better to be aware of all its complications when deciding to perform a cosmetic or therapeutic procedure, so that after the procedure, we can take care in a correct way and minimize the possibility of possible complications.
Abdominoplasty, with the scientific name of abdominoplasty, is one of the most popular procedures with amazing results. In this article, we are going to talk about abdominoplasty and its complications, although these complications may not occur to you at all.
What is abdominoplasty?
Some people think that abdominoplasty is the same as liposuction; But this notion is completely wrong. Maybe in some cases and at the doctor’s discretion, liposuction is also used during abdominoplasty surgery, but these two are completely different.
Liposuction also removes belly and side fat, but loose skin and abdominal muscles are not repaired. If we want to say what abdominal abdominoplasty is, it should be said that abdominal and flank abdominoplasty, in addition to removing fat from the abdomen and flanks, restores the main abdominal muscle and muscles that have been relaxed during pregnancy and weight changes. In abdominoplasty, the skin of the abdomen is restored and the abdomen and sides are shaped as desired.
How is abdominoplasty surgery performed?
Abdominal and side cosmetic surgery requires complete anesthesia. Before anesthesia, the doctor marks the cut points, fat points and all the required areas with a surgical pen. Choosing these points is very important and only an expert doctor and surgeon can make a correct diagnosis. If liposuction is needed according to the doctor’s opinion, after anesthesia, special liquid for suction is injected in the specified areas. To start the tummy tuck surgery, an incision is made above the pubic area.
The size of this cut is determined according to the condition of the patient. The next incision, if needed, is made in the navel area. Depending on the patient’s condition, abdominoplasty may be performed with only one incision. With stitches, the doctor tightens the abdominal muscles and strengthens the weak muscles. In the last step, the excess skin is removed and shaped. Then, tubes are placed in the abdominal incision to drain fluids and hematomas after surgery. After a few days, the tubes are removed. Abdominoplasty surgery takes an average of 2 to 5 hours.
Care after abdominal surgery
Abdominal and flank surgery recovery period is different for each person and depends on things like age, general health, type of abdominal pain and post-tummy lift surgery care. In general, most people are back to normal after about eight weeks. Care after abdominal surgery is very important and includes the following:
- After the surgery, follow all the doctor’s instructions carefully and contact the doctor if you have any problems, questions or concerns.
- Be sure to have a companion during the operation to accompany you home after the operation.
- You need someone to accompany you at home for at least two days after the operation.
- Use antibiotics and anticoagulants prescribed by the doctor.
- Use the belly band every day as recommended by your doctor.
- Do not lie on your side until the day after the operation.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects and hugging children for a few weeks.
- It is better to take some time off from work so that the healing process can be done better and faster.
Cost of abdominoplasty surgery
Abdominoplasty has different costs and its price is not the same for all patients and it depends on the condition and physical condition of the person in terms of the amount of belly fat, sides, sagging skin, etc. In general, treatment costs include the costs of anesthesia, hospital or surgery center, drugs, tests, the price of the gene and the surgeon’s fee. The salary of the surgeon varies according to the specialty and the level of skill and geographical area.
Is it possible to get pregnant after abdominoplasty surgery?
Yes, you can get pregnant after abdominoplasty, but you must consult your doctor about abdominoplasty and pregnancy and be aware of its complications. Because pregnancy causes changes in a person’s body that may cause the body to return to its previous state. You should also keep in mind that in order to get pregnant, at least 6 months have passed since your surgery.
