Abdominoplasty

Pronounced abdominal deformation that manifests itself as sagging skin in the form of folds, excessive fat deposits, postnatal distensions and skin flaccidity of on the anterior abdominal wall, force women to apply to a plastic surgeon more and more frequently for the plasty of the anterior abdominal wall, i.e. abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty is one of the most complex operations for a patient. Therefore this operation may be performed by highly qualified surgeons only.

Basic indications to abdominoplasty are:

Sagging anterior abdominal wall in the form of folds due to weight loss;
Pronounced abdominal fat deformity;
Flaccid anterior abdominal wall changed by distensions following pregnancies;
Postoperative scar deformities of the anterior abdominal wall

The principal objective of abdominoplasty is to correct the body contours. Here it is necessary to underline that the main task is not to create an ideal abdomen but to considerably improve its appearance as compared to its initial state. Specific features of abdominoplasy include:

Possibility of being combined with liposuction of problematic areas;
Possibility of modeling the waist due to elimination of diastasis recti;
Possibility to camouflage a postoperative scar in the future with the help of underclothes;
Possibility of being combined with other (cavitary) operations

There are two types of abdominoplasty:

Miniabdominoplasty, where a flap is dissected up to the umbilical level leaving the umbilicus at the same place;
Classical abdominoplasty with transposition of the umbilicus, where the dissection of the skin-fat flap is performed up to the level of costal arches due to a considerable repositioning of the skin flap, and a new umbilical opening is formed wherein the umbilicus is fixed.

In the case of an excessively tensed aponeurosis (due to pregnancy, as a rule), its plasty is performed, i.e. suturing to create conditions to maximally reduce the abdominal mass and model the waist.
