There are several types of abdominoplasty that eliminate the “apron”, diastasis and form the correct shape of the abdomen, returning the patient to the desired parameters.
Miniabdominoplasty… Abdominal plastic surgery without navel transfer and with a shortened suprapubic approach. Attractive for patients: shorter stitches, rehabilitation is faster and easier.
However, such an operation is performed much less frequently than classical abdominoplasty, and is indicated in rare patients who do not have large excess fat and skin. Otherwise, the attractiveness of a relatively small surgical intervention gives an unsatisfactory result: a low-positioned navel and sagging skin above it, an unformed waist.
Cost: 71 000 rubles.
Classical abdominoplasty. Shifting the navel, suturing diastasis, mobilizing the skin-fat flap, removing excess skin.
Cost: 140 000 rubles.
Lipoabdominoplasty… This is a classic abdominoplasty + liposuction. The combination of these two operations provides an excellent aesthetic result, since by removing fat from the sides, we get a beautiful waist.
Cost: 140 rubles + 000 rubles for each liposuction zone. 12 liposuction zone is equal to the area of the palm.
Extended abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty + excision of adjacent sections: thighs and lower back. As a rule, it is used for patients with a large loss of body weight and, as a result, volumetric sagging of tissues.
Cost: from 200 rubles.
It has been noticed: the result of abdominoplasty will last for a long time if the patient has a stable weight, since drastic weight loss or, conversely, weight gain can negatively affect the result of a tummy tuck. We recommend that you prepare and come to the operation with a comfortable body weight.
Rehabilitation Features
Full recovery after surgery takes up to two months on average.
In the clinic, the patient spends two days, and then for another week he will observe the semi-bed regime at home. You can start work 10 days after the operation, and then if your work is in no way connected with heavy physical exertion. It is obligatory to wear compression garments for 1-2 months. Fixation with linen helps speedy healing and does not allow the seams to come apart.
Usually the seam is “hidden” along the line of the underwear. In modern plastic surgery, absorbable sutures are used and there is no need to remove the sutures. This makes the postoperative period even more comfortable for patients.
Will it hurt or not after the operation? This question is often asked to plastic surgeons. Of course, the general state of health after abdominoplasty is marked by painful sensations and tension in the middle region of the trunk. The discomfort can last up to three weeks – some patients even need help getting up from a horizontal position. The patient is generally advised to stay in bed, limit exercise, and follow a number of recommendations.
For a month, you should forget about visiting fitness, baths, saunas. Water procedures are minimized so that the seam does not come into contact with water. Alas, you will also have to forget about sex for a month: restrictions are introduced due to edema, discomfort, risk of seam divergence. During sex, there is a rush of blood in the pelvic area, which is undesirable during the recovery period.
