Abdominoplasty is an operation to correct abdominal contours. Most often the stomach is stretched by pregnancy or by fast weight gain. And if diet and exercise in most cases help get rid of excess fat, stretched muscles and skin to return to the original state with their help is not always possible. And for many women, this is causing serious depression. They can no longer freely buy the desired clothes, undress on the beach and in the pool, etc. Improve their quality of life called abdominoplasty - its effectiveness when used for this purpose is confirmed by research. Thanks to abdominoplasty, the abdomen decreases in volume and becomes flat, the waist is formed. The operation on the plastic of the abdomen begins with a transverse incision above the pubis. The incision is made along the bikini line, so that later the scar could be hidden under the underwear. After this, the skin flap is peeled to the costal arch, highlighting the navel. Having thus opened the rectus abdominis muscles, the surgeon sews them in a new position, forming a waist. Excess skin with subcutaneous fat is removed. The navel is formed anew to move it to a new place on the skin flap that has been peeled off. Sometimes plastic surgery is performed only in the lower abdomen without transfer of the navel - this operation is called «mini-abdominoplasty». Also abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction.
