An example of one of the cases of Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty
This patient asked for advice about the aesthetic request for her stomach. She had 3 pregnancies. She had no any special previous history of anamnesis before. Her request concerned exceptionally her belly. She complained about the accumulation of fat in the central part of the abdomen and its stretched appearance. The patient experienced great inconveniences in terms of choosing clothes and she would like to have a flat stomach and a more slender figure.
The examination revealed a pronounced abdominal apron with areas of fat deposits predominantly in the central area of the abdomen, as a result of which the figure began to lack the harmony. Examination of the abdominal muscles did not reveal any abnormality such as diastase of abdominal muscles or abdominal hernia.
This patient underwent abdominoplasty in combination with lipoaspiration, which consisted in removing the excessively expressed abdominal apron and forming a more slender and more feminine figure. This intervention allowed the patient to find a flat stomach with an improvement in the form of the figure both in the facet and in the profile.
