Abdominal lifting surgery is mainly aimed at abdominal relaxation and stretch marks; In fact, women's postpartum abdominal obesity is not just a problem of fat, but mostly caused by changes in abdominal wall tension. Because in the process of pregnancy, the abdominal fascia will be stretched excessively, which will lead to the relaxation of postpartum fascia and even the separation of rectus abdominis, thus reducing the tension of the abdominal wall and making the contents originally belonging to the abdominal cavity protrude outward, thus forming the swelling and bulge of the stomach. In this case, simple liposuction cannot be improved. Abdominal lifting can sew the abdominal fascia again, restore its elasticity and compactness, improve abdominal tension, and push the contents that originally belonged to the abdominal cavity inward, thus achieving the purpose of reducing the abdomen. Abdominal lifting operation A large area of abdominal lifting is a large area of skin removal from the upper edge of navel to the top of pubic hair, which removes this redundant lower abdomen, repairs fascia, and then tightens the upper skin downwards, sutures and repositions navel. However, a small range of abdominal lifting is only a simple treatment of the lower abdomen, excluding the upper abdomen. Can abdominal lifting be combined with liposuction? Although abdominal lifting can be combined with abdominal liposuction, it depends on one's physical condition. People with smoking habits or poor blood circulation suggest that liposuction and abdominal lifting be carried out separately to avoid poor wound healing. Can non-postpartum women also do abdominal lifting? This operation can mainly improve the stretch marks and repair the loose abdominal wall. Of course, women who have never given birth can also have these problems, but if you consider getting pregnant in the future, it is recommended to wait until after giving birth. If it is only simple abdominal fat hypertrophy, liposuction can be done. The completion time of the operation is about 1.5~2.5 hours, and general anesthesia or semi-anesthesia can be used. Precautions after the operation, because the skin position has changed, blood circulation will be affected, so smoking and second-hand smoke must be banned after the operation, and caffeinated foods such as coffee, chocolate, tea and cola should also be avoided as much as possible. Moreover, because a part of the lower abdomen skin is removed and the abdominal fascia is sutured again, the lower abdomen will be tight in the early postoperative period, and the abdominal band 1 to 2 months is needed to help the wound heal. If the patient has the habit of coughing or constipation before operation, it is recommended to use cough medicine and laxatives after operation to avoid the wound tearing caused by excessive abdominal force. The above precautions need to be maintained for about two months. In addition, the drainage tube must be kept for 1 ~ 2 weeks after operation to drain blood, and it should be pulled out according to the drainage volume during the follow-up visit.
Can postoperative scars be diluted by other scar repair methods? Yes, but although scar repair surgery has certain effect, it can't be completely eliminated. Prevention is more important than cure. After taking out stitches, we must take good care of the scar and compress the scar with silicon film, so as to reduce the scar. Although this operation will cause a transverse scar on the lower abdomen, it can be cleverly hidden in * * *, which is much better than the stretch marks on the whole abdomen. After weighing the pros and cons, many patients are still willing to do this operation, replacing the stretch marks of the whole abdomen with a thin suture. Is there a similar operation in the market? Of course, but for different purposes, take radio wave skin lift and liposuction as examples. The latter can only improve the thick fat layer, and the electric wave lift can improve the loose skin, but it can't restore the tension of fascia. Abdominal lifting combined with liposuction can improve the relaxation of skin, fat layer and abdominal wall at the same time, and achieve a complete surgical effect.
