Plastic surgery of abdomen (abdominal
plastic)
|
|||
|
This surgery gives solution to skin redundancies in the abdominal area and also the gap in rectilinear abdominal muscle. The skin redundancy is very often originated after the pregnancy, especially the repeated one, when during the pregnancy the abdomen's skin is exposed to enormous pressure of growing embryo, it can even crack and small scars, which pale out later, start to form. These scars never disappear and the skin elasticity decreases even further. The extent of such irreversible changes is very individual. Similar situation occurs even in the other case, which is the same for both men and women: obesity problems. The adipose cells are present not only in hypoderm, but also inside the abdominal cavity, and in both of these places the fat deposits form. The already mentioned cracks in the skin and subsequent scars occur even in this case. Then after bigger weight loss the skin stays stretched out, sometimes looking like a pinafore. These changes have negative effect on one's psyche and may create even practical difficulties, for example when buying clothes. These problems can be removed with a plastic surgery. Its extend will be determined by a plastic surgeon.
