The abdomen plays a key role in improving the body's silhouette. A flat and toned stomach is not only
a symbol of beauty but also a symbol of physical well-being for women and men, where a flat and
muscular stomach always exerts a strong sexual attraction. An obese, lean, thin, and disproportionate
stomach compared to the size of the body is not only an aesthetic aspect but also causes a state of
physical and psychological discomfort. The skin has a natural resilience, necessary to accompany body
changes during various stages of development. Skin loss can occur due to years of weight gain and
loss, pregnancies, sedentary life, physiological or pathological processes of the skin and muscles.
Women with this aesthetic often have a distorted self-image. Abdominoplasty (abdominal remodeling) is
the plastic surgery procedure consisting of the removal of excess fat deposited on the abdomen,
excessive aging and aging of the skin, as well as the reconstruction of the abdominal muscles ensuring
a beautiful flat and toned abdomen. It is recommended that even women with severe obesity who have
decided to lose weight undergo a low-calorie diet before undergoing plastic surgery procedures to
achieve maximum and lasting results. Abdominoplasty is a delicate procedure that requires high
professionalism.

DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgeons recommend abdominoplasty when you have:
► Abdomen filled with fat component and skin streaks.
► Fallen and toneless belly.

► Decline and swelling of the musculoskeletal structure of the abdomen due to an incorrect and
sedentary lifestyle.
Wound healing is performed 2 - 5 days after surgery. Consultations for DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgery procedures and screening visits will always be free. Pain is generally modest and controllable with analgesic medications. After surgery, a break of 24 to 48 hours is necessary, accompanied only by mild movements. The day after surgery, it is recommended to move from bed for short walks to stimulate blood circulation even if you will not be able to stand (the wound will require a forward bent position). Strenuous activities should be avoided, as these activities can cause edema and even bleeding. It is recommended, for about ten days, to sleep on your back with a pillow under your knees. Drains will be removed one or two days after or at most within a week of surgery. It is recommended to wear the abdominal binder for 4 weeks. The drains will be removed after 7-14 days.

PROCEDURE
1. CONSULTATION
Abdominoplasty is a very delicate and personalized procedure and as such requires a very careful specialized consultation. During the initial visit, the DERMOLIFE® surgeon will evaluate health characteristics, muscles, skin, and fat. They will assess the body trunk characteristics to identify the extent of adipose surplus, will also assess the potential anesthesia of the thigh and buttocks and carefully analyze the physiognomy of the whole body for a more satisfying and natural result in complete harmony with the entire body. During the initial consultation, the DERMOLIFE® surgeon will conduct a very detailed open conversation with you and illustrate all the goals and aesthetic results that can be achieved so that you have concrete and realistic expectations. The DERMOLIFE® surgeon also evaluates your health to exclude various diseases, blood clotting problems, or skin rashes that may affect the final outcome of the surgery. Before surgery, our surgeon will provide you with precise instructions on nutrition before and after surgery, medication administration, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. You should also undergo some tests in advance, such as a cardiological visit, a lung x-ray, and some standard blood and urine tests. After summarizing all the answers to these tests, it is time for a consultation with our staff anesthesiologist to decide on the general health status and the opportunity to perform the aesthetic intervention in question. At the end of the consultation, the surgeon, together with you, will choose the most appropriate procedure for your case. In any case, our surgical staff guarantees amazing results and you will feel more beautiful than ever because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
2. ANESTHESIA
In the case of surgery, one of the most common concerns is anesthesia. In any case, DERMOLIFE® staff prefers to choose, where possible, local sedation anesthesia and avoid general anesthesia, ensuring immediate post-intervention recovery of the person compared to general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is performed with some minor injections in the surgical area to relieve pain. While sedation consists of the intravenous injection of drugs that reduce anxiety and induce a state of light sleep or a little deeper. The person is relaxed and partially conscious. It is worth noting that in local anesthesia, intubation is not used by holding the person breathing spontaneously, avoiding the use of devices that guarantee breathing during general anesthesia.
3. INTERVENTION
In any case, the DERMOLIFE® staff aims to provide the person with a smooth and painless surgical experience. The operation is performed following a precise protocol that guarantees the highest quality and safety. Depending on the case, abdominoplasty can be performed with various techniques such as: mini-abdominoplasty, lipo-abdominoplasty, and torsoplasty. Mini-abdominoplasty is the ideal technique for small abdominal aesthetic defects, as in cases of abdominal laxity after pregnancy. The intervention consists of a single incision in the pubic area, so the scar will be easily covered by underwear and swimsuits. Abdominoplasty or lipo-abdominoplasty consists of two incisions, a horizontal incision in the pubic area that extends slightly towards the left and right iliac crest and an incision in the umbilical area that will remain invisible. This operation removes excess skin and excess adipose tissue, pulls the skin from the upper abdomen to the lower one, where the suture is performed (in the pubic area), also reconstructs the rectus abdominis muscles by joining and sewing through a special suture system. Torsoplasty is the ideal technique in people who have undergone drastic weight loss and excesses of fat are not only present in the abdominal area but also around the trunk and shadows. The scar in this case is circumferential, very thin, and covered by underwear and swimsuits. It is also often associated with spinal remodeling. The operation lasts 2-3 hours and slightly longer if accompanied by other aesthetic surgery procedures. All techniques can be associated with liposuction of the abdomen, waist, hip remodeling, or thigh lifting.
The goal of our aesthetic surgeons is to provide abdominoplasty with the maximum results, which means a flat and toned stomach, in full harmony with the body and silhouette that makes you feel slippery both physically and emotionally, because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
4. POST INTERVENTION
After surgery, you are expected to stay in the clinic overnight. DERMOLIFE® surgeons will assist you until full recovery. Wound healing is performed 2 - 5 days after surgery. Consultations for DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgery procedures and screening visits will always be free. Pain is generally modest and controllable with pain relievers. After surgery, a break of 24 to 48 hours is necessary, accompanied only by slight movements. The day after surgery, it is recommended to move from bed for short walks to stimulate blood circulation even if you will not be able to stand (the wound will impose a bent forward position). Strenuous activities should be avoided, as these activities can cause edema and even bleeding. It is recommended, for about ten days, to sleep on your back with a pillow under your knees. Drains will be removed one or two days after or at most within a week of surgery. It is recommended to wear the abdominal binder for 4 weeks. The stitches will be removed after 7-14 days.
