Abdominoplasty or Lipectomy in Delhi for Excess Fat Removal

It is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower half of the abdomen taking advantage of strengthening the muscles of the abdominal wall.

When they are performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in Delhi with experience in body contouring the results are very positive.

The ideal patients for abdominoplasty in Delhi are healthy men and women who present deposits of fat and loose abdominal skin. It is especially useful for women who after their pregnancies have their abdominal muscles and their skin loose to a level impossible to recover with exercises, in addition to stretch marks or scars.

Planning the Lipectomy or Abdominoplasty:

The plastic surgeon in Rohini, Pitampura, Delhi will give specific instructions on how to prepare including recommended diet and weight. Sun exposure should be avoided especially in the abdomen before surgery. Also very strict diets since this can affect the healing capacity.

Anaesthesia in this Plastic Surgery: 

The specialist will determine the ideal type of anaesthesia for each case. The most used is general anaesthesia.

Abdominoplasty Procedure: 

A full tummy tuck takes about three hours depending on the technique and procedures used. Usually, the plastic surgeon in Shalimar Bagh, Ashok Vihar, Delhi makes an incision just above the pubis that extends to both hips. A second incision is made around the navel to release it from the surrounding tissue. The skin and fat are separated from the abdominal wall up to about 15 cm above the navel by suturing the abdominal rectus muscles that have usually separated with the pregnancies. Subsequently all excess fat and skin are removed. Finally drains are installed and the skin over the pubis is covered with dressings and a girdle.

Most of the time it is associated with lipoaspiration to obtain a harmonic result in the entire abdominal body contour

Post-operative in this surgery

The first few days the abdomen will be slightly inflamed and controllable discomfort can be felt with medication. The hospitalization is usually for 2 days. The position in the bed is semi-sitting. Even though at the beginning it is difficult to stand completely straight, you should start walking as soon as possible. The sutures are removed between seven and fourteen days. If the person has a good abdominal muscles recovery is faster and you can return to work after 10 days to two weeks.

Scars:

Abdominoplasty scars can become more noticeable in the first three to six months as they mature.

This situation is transitory. It takes more than nine months to make the scars flatten and pale.
They do not disappear completely but with time they become more imperceptible. It should be mentioned that there are many individual variations in the type and quality of the cicatricial process.
