It is one of the most frequent, especially in women after pregnancy. The abdomen may contain more fat than normal or lipodystrophy, arranged in front and back sides or "floaters". The skin may be flaccid or fall and cause irregularities in the shape of the pubic apron.

The muscular wall, due to pregnancy, may have separated rectus muscle or the rectus diastasis, or have weak areas or hernias. Previous surgeries and may have flaws wall support your incisions or hernias.

Finally all the above can be in a patient with weight, overweight or at least one obese.

According to the different pathologies presented will be chosen by performing a liposuction alone (see chapter on liposuction) or with minimal or complete abdominoplasty (Mini abdominal plasty), you must also treat pathologies of the wall that existed at the same time that plasty performed.

Abdominoplasty
There are many reasons that can cause saggy abdomen, weight gain, pregnancy, diastasis of the rectus muscles of the abdominal wall, causes and hormonal influences to their own inherited and constitutional.

In these cases the elimination of fat alone does not provide the necessary solution and we must make another type of procedure that removes all or part of the skin of the abdomen that is in excess. As skin and fat removed this procedure is known as Tummy Tuck or that can be fully removed when all the skin below the navel and requires a transposition of the same or Partial (Mini abdominal plasty) when only dries the skin that falls on the pubis, leaving the navel in a natural position.

In most cases accompanied by a lipodystrophy fat tissue liposuction of the flanks, back or abdomen itself to be subsequently resected. In all patients with a diastasis of muscles is performed from the anterior rectus Miorafia to restore wall tension.

It is an intervention performed with local anesthesia or assisted tumescent enhanced which also minimize the surgical risks provides a surgical field with minimal bleeding and a very rapid patient recovery transforming it into an outpatient surgery. We have conducted more than 1000 outpatient abdominoplasty in our system 25 years as a surgeon. Smoking causes changes in the vitality of the tissues.

Basically, an incision is made more or less widespread supraumbiulical according to the skin to dry, it releases the skin and fatty tissue from the umbilicus to the costal margin and then tightens eliminating excess tissue distally. Skin is sutured distally and the navel is repositioned at a suitable height. In some cases supplemented by a small vertical incision to achieve a better position of the skin and laxity in patients with much the incision should be shaped anchor and is complemented by a vertical resection to the navel.
