Lipoabdominoplasty is an abdominoplasty with liposuction - a combination of two operations. By itself, tummy tuck surgery is an extensive and traumatic operation, in which there is a lot of skin separated from the abdominal wall – a long-healing "dead" space. A small volume of emptiness is formed only where the muscles diverging (diastasis) from pregnancy and childbirth are sutured. With lipoabdominoplasty, the skin is not completely separated, but lifted. Vessels, nerves are not damaged, the raised area continues to receive nutrition from the body. Sebaceous and sweat glands recover faster, tissues take root, rehabilitation accelerates. More modern sparing lipoabdominoplasty reduces the risk of postoperative complications.

Vaser-lipoabdominoplasty is performed efficiently, subtly, with the creation of muscle relief. The modern Vaser device is used, the action of which is based on the latest achievements in the field of ultrasound, radiofrequency, electrosurgical technologies.

Vaser acts selectively on fat cells with ultrasonic vibrations of a special frequency. They are separated and excreted from the body alive. Then these cells are used in other operations, during which fat is pumped into the necessary parts of the body (lipofilling). Vessels, nerves, and other cells are not damaged.

Conventional lipoabdominoplasty allows you to remove medium and deep fat. The layers near the surface of the skin remain intact, which gives a less effective result. Vaser-liposuction manages to correct this shortcoming by sculpting the muscle frame.

With the help of a modern coagulator, small incisions are made, which facilitates the perception of the operation by the body, reduces possible risks.

Vaser-lipoabdominoplasty results are improved by the Body Tite device - tighten the skin, eliminate cellulite. Such procedures eliminate sagging skin. Recovery is much faster. The body acquires a beautiful athletic shape, which will last for a long time with the right lifestyle, moderate loads.

It is a mistake to believe that lipoabdominoplasty is aimed at weight loss. With the help of abdominal plastic surgery or lipoabdominoplasty, a small amount of fat deposits in this area is removed, but the main purpose of the operation is to give a beautiful shape to a part of the body by removing sagging, stretched excess or flaps of skin and adipose tissue. Sometimes these surpluses have the shape of an apron, cause not only psychological complexes of dissatisfaction with themselves, but also worsen the work of the abdominal organs.

Significant deformation of the abdominal skin occurs during pregnancy. After the birth of a large child or several children, women have severe stretch marks - striae, sagging skin, loss of elasticity, sensitivity. Sagging occurs after severe weight loss. In the abdominal area, a subcutaneous fat layer is often formed, which can be dealt with only with the help of surgery - diets and physical education do not help. Only with abdominoplasty ptosis is corrected – the sagging anterior abdominal wall is corrected. Severe stretching or divergence of the rectus abdominis muscles leads to abdominal deformation. Diastasis is formed, which is eliminated by abdominal plastic surgery. In the same way, postoperative scars, scars from injuries are removed; subcutaneous fat deposited in large quantities, various hernias (umbilical, inguinal, etc.). In these cases, abdominoplasty or lipoabdominoplasty is necessary to create a beautiful tummy with a delicate monotonous taut skin.

It seems to many that operations that reduce the volume of the abdomen, fat deposits can be done by anyone who suffers from overweight, obesity. This is far from the case. There are many contraindications to lipoabdominoplasty, which are divided into absolute and relative. Abdominal plastic surgery is strictly prohibited with such absolute signs:

• The presence of autoimmune diseases in which the body`s immune system malfunctions and its cells begin to be perceived as foreign. Examples of autoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.
• Oncology.
• Cardiac, pulmonary insufficiency (chronic and acute).
• Diabetes mellitus
• Blood diseases in patients or their relatives.
• Obesity caused by diseases associated with metabolic disorders in the body, endocrine pathologies.
• During the acute phase of inflammatory diseases.
• With a body mass index greater than 30, which indicates the presence of a tendency to obesity, the cause of which needs to be established.

A relative contraindication to surgery is chronic diseases. In remission, they do not manifest themselves, but continue to affect the body, while waiting for suitable conditions to increase activity. Such conditions can be created by abdominal plastic surgery.

Liposuction is acceptable if there are no contraindications and excess weight exceeds the desired by no more than 9-10 kg.

After surgery, the skin on the abdomen becomes stretched, there are no surpluses, so difficulties may arise during pregnancy. Doctors do not recommend doing lipoabdominoplasty if a woman plans to get pregnant. In this case, severe stretch marks may form. Stretched skin will interfere with the growth of the fetus forward, there will be pressure on the internal organs. It is better to tighten the stomach after childbirth, if a woman is not satisfied with her appearance.

A complex operation requires careful preparation and examination of the body in order to take into account all possible features, to identify possible contraindications. Initially, the patient is examined by a plastic surgeon. It determines whether an operation is really necessary or the problem is small and is eliminated in other ways. The doctor examines the psychological state of the applicant, the degree of his readiness for a long procedure, including a difficult operation and the postoperative period. The surgeon focuses on muscle tone, skin elasticity, and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer on the abdomen. During the initial examination, the doctor forms an idea of the possibility of surgery. If there are no obvious contraindications, the patient is prescribed tests:

• it is necessary to make an electrocardiogram of the heart;
• to examine the blood: biochemical, clinical analysis, to determine the group and the Rh factor, to conduct a study on HIV, the presence of inflammatory processes (RW);
• to find out the quality of the kidneys using urine analysis.

The results of these studies allow us to definitively determine whether the operation can be performed by checking the tummy tuck pics.

Preparation of the body begins in a month. A special diet is prescribed, thanks to which you can slightly reduce weight, clean the intestines well. The acceptance of alcoholic beverages and smoking is necessarily excluded. The use of drugs that slow blood clotting stops. There are cases when it is impossible to completely stop using them. In this case, consult with a doctor, continue to use the lightest analogues. At this time, it is necessary to improve the condition of the vessels, strengthen them. Seven days before the operation, products that promote gas formation are excluded, as well as fatty, very sweet, spicy food. A few days before surgery, they reduce physical activity, stop using decorative cosmetics. At this time, the patient is recommended to take light sedatives: tinctures or tablets of motherwort, valerian. This eliminates internal anxiety, promotes healthy sleep, better relaxation of the body, improved provision of cells with nutrients. In the last day before the operation, the amount of food is reduced. You can eat a small amount of protein food. Immediately before the operation, the stomach should be empty.

Initially, liposuction is performed. The procedure is carried out using cannulas without incisions, skin stretches.

In the absence of excess fat, the skin with a weakened base becomes much thinner, stretches more easily. The doctor determines the level of the incision, the amount of skin that needs to be removed. A tunnel is prepared along the upper and lower borders of the relaxed and separated from each other in the middle of the abdominal muscles. For a beautiful figure, it is necessary to tighten the front part, create aesthetic waistlines. There is no hanging, flabby skin on the sides after lipoabdominoplasty. The length, incision level is planned, pre-agreed with the patient, set depending on the preferred underwear. The seam is always under the clothes.

A complex operation lasts from 2 to 5 hours under general anesthesia.

The recovery period proceeds differently for everyone. It depends on the characteristics of the body, the volume of surgical intervention. Cutting off a large amount of skin makes it necessary to separate it from a significant area of the internal cavity, which increases the complexity of the operation and its perception by the human body. It is also important that the muscles involved in different movements are located on the abdominal wall. After surgery, for the best fusion of tissues, they should be as relaxed and unloaded as possible. Therefore, in some cases, the patient is recommended not to get out of bed for the first two days. In addition, there may be dizziness, nausea. Postoperative redness and swelling are characteristic. Prescribe anesthesia, antibiotics. It is better to lie on your back, bending your legs so that the muscles do not stretch. In the following days, you need to avoid sudden movements. In the period up to two months, it is better to walk, also lie in a half-bent position, so that the unstrung tissues grow together more quickly.

With non-extensive interventions, you can take several steps as early as 6 hours after surgery. At the same time, the first meal and drink is allowed. The body needs to be gradually, gradually loaded. This way wounds heal faster, as blood circulation improves, and the rehabilitation process is more intensive.

Immediately after the operation, the patient should wear a specially selected support belt with convenient fasteners or Velcro, the seams of which are located on healthy areas of the body.

When cutting off a large amount of skin in the body for up to 5 days, there may be a drainage tube to drain fluid. It should be cleaned regularly every day, following the doctor`s recommendations. Careful processing of seams is required. In the first days, abdominal abdominoplasty before and after can cause horror in the patient. The stitches are removed in the second week. During this period, redness and swelling subside, and the results are already visible.

Water procedures can be done far from immediately, also only after examination and permission from the surgeon.

At least two months after the operation, it is mandatory to wear special compression underwear. It is impossible to neglect this rule in any case, since it is possible to form asymmetry of the abdomen, improper fusion of muscle tissues, the formation of scars, blood clots, fibrosis. In the absence of compression therapy, swelling occurs, which stretches the skin, slows down the process of its recovery and can cause additional complications.

For six months after the operation, they do not take sun baths that warm up the body. Physical exercises with weight can also be gradually started after this time has elapsed. After consulting with a doctor, the load is increased, returning to the usual rhythm of life.

Light, but frequent physical exercises, especially those that do not strain the abdominal muscles, are done regularly after two months. Otherwise, the formation of stagnant phenomena in the body is possible. You can`t eat too much. It is necessary to apply a fractional balanced diet. For a long-term or permanent result, it is important not to allow the previous lifestyle. With excessive overeating, constant use of high-calorie foods, and other bad habits, the weight and volume of the abdomen will increase again. All previous efforts will be in vain, the result of lipoabdominoplasty will be reduced to zero.

Complications after lipoabdominoplasty are rare, but they need to be known and prepared for them. The causes of complications are the individual characteristics of the body, errors during the operation, hygiene violations, improper behavior of the patient in the postoperative period, improper cleaning of the drainage tube, poor-quality suture treatment. As a result, there may be:

• suppuration of seams due to violations of sterility, hygiene rules;
• seroma or accumulation of drainage fluid in the wound. This may be caused by a discrepancy, loose fit of the edges of the wound due to swelling in violation of the rules of wearing compression underwear, as well as a corset or a supporting belt. Seroma can occur in cases where, in parallel with abdominal plastic surgery, excess fat was removed by liposuction. Additional punctures, incisions are a significant stress for the body, in which the discharge of drainage fluid increases;
• hematomas may occur in soft tissues caused by an error in stopping internal bleeding. When cutting off a large amount of skin, capillaries do not match when pulling new flaps, which can cause additional blood secretions;
• a medical error can be excessive dissection of tissues, too much stretching of the skin. A tight seam in this case prevents the rapid restoration of blood circulation. Soft tissues will die off, causing marginal necrosis;
• scarring, the appearance of wide inflamed scars is possible if the wound is poorly sewn; an infection is introduced into the seam, which causes swelling. Seams increase with their improper processing, non-compliance with the regime of wearing compression underwear, excessive untimely physical exertion;
• the operation is accompanied by a certain loss of blood, which causes anemia in the body that has experienced severe stress. To eliminate it, you need rest, high-quality reusable or fractional meals, protein food, vitamins;
• in case of violation of the rules of rehabilitation, overeating, ignoring compression maintenance therapy, increased intra-abdominal pressure occurs, negatively affecting the result of the operation. Abdominal compartment-a syndrome that occurs with a strong tension of the tissues of the anterior abdominal wall, in turn, can provoke the appearance of pulmonary edema;
• the specifics of the operation require minimal mobility from the patient. This can cause congestive pneumonia;
• immobility, cardiac arrhythmias, non-use of compression underwear lead to the formation of blood clots - blood clots, blockage of arteries - tromoboembolism. In such cases, blood thinning medications – anticoagulants - may be prescribed.

The listed complications will not occur if the doctor performs the operation qualitatively, observing all the necessary rules and sanitary norms, and the patient strictly follows the recommendations aimed at rehabilitation and restoration of the body`s strength after a complex surgical intervention.

The undoubted advantage is that lipoabdominoplasty is a more gentle operation: the skin is not completely separated, but lifted. Vessels, nerves are not damaged, the raised area continues to receive nutrition from the body. Sebaceous and sweat glands recover faster, tissues take root, rehabilitation accelerates. More modern lipoabdominoplasty reduces the risk of postoperative complications.

Vaser-lipoabdominoplasty gives even better results. Under the selective influence of ultrasonic vibrations of a special frequency on fat cells, they are separated and removed from the body alive. Vessels, nerves, and other cells are not damaged.

Conventional lipoabdominoplasty removes medium and deep fat. And the layers near the surface of the skin remain intact, which gives a less effective result. Vaser-liposuction is able to remove not only deep, medium fat, but also near the surface of the skin. Signs of cellulite are eliminated, the muscular frame is sculpted, abdominal plastic is facilitated (photo).

With the help of a modern coagulator, small incisions are made, which facilitates the perception of the operation by the body, reduces possible risks.

The body acquires a beautiful athletic shape that will last for a long time with the right lifestyle, the maximum possible exclusion of stress and the preservation of inner peace in all situations, moderate loads.

It is difficult to name the disadvantages of modern and popular lipoabdominoplasty. Some consider it a disadvantage that surgical intervention is required when other possibilities of creating a beautiful body are completely exhausted. Nevertheless, lipoabdominoplasty helps to do this most efficiently, with the least injury to the body.

The formation of a person`s figure is influenced by many factors. Congenital diseases associated with metabolic disorders; inherited body features; transferred life circumstances; bad habits, improper lifestyle, stress, immobility. As a result, the figure changes for the worse. This causes fat accumulation in different places, deformation of the protective shell of the body - the skin. Small defects are eliminated by a balanced diet, physical exercises. In many cases (after the birth of several children, significant weight loss, etc.), sagging skin can be eliminated only by surgical intervention. To do this as delicately as possible, subtly, without severely injuring and long-healing extensive sections of adipose tissue, skin helps the popular lipoabdominoplasty, the main purpose of which is to remove fat, create anatomically correct waist and abdomen shapes.
