The
Best Candidates For Abdominoplasty
Author: James Hunt
Abdominoplasty
is more popularly known as a tummy-tuck. It is a major surgical
procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower
abdomen. It is also used to tighten the muscles in the stomach
of the abdominal wall. Both men and women to decrease the appearance
of a protruding abdomen use this procedure. While this procedure
does reduce the size the stomach it does leave a scar on the abdomen.
For some people this scar could go from hip to hip, or it may
be smaller in others.
The
Best Candidates For A Tummy Tuck
The
best candidate for abdominoplasty are men and women who are in
good shape overall but who are bothered by a large or loose abdomen
that they cannot get rid of even through dieting and weight loss.
In most cases women opt for this surgery and it is helpful to
women who have, as a result of pregnancy, stretched their abdominal
muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal.
If
you are looking to lose a lot of weight then you should not rush
into having the surgery. Also if you plan on having any children
in the future then you should postpone having this procedure this
is due to the fact that muscles of the stomach will tighten during
surgery and can separate during pregnancy.
Risks
Of Abdominoplasty
This
surgery is not without risks. While there are thousands of surgeries
performed each year that is quite successful there are those that
do not go as planned?
Post-operation
complications can arise. These include such things as infections
and blood clots, although these are rare, they can do occur in
some cases. In most cases these post-operative complications are
treatable with either drainage or antibiotics. To minimize blood
clots you should move around as soon after the surgery as possible.
If
you smoke then you will advised to stop as smoking could result
in complications. This could also delay the healing. You can reduce
the chance of complications by following the doctor's instructions
very closely.
