♦Typically, lower body deformation is the result of fat accumulation, concentrated mostly in the waist, abdomen, and lower body. Liposuction is generally the solution for problems of this type.

Many postpartum women experience abdominal obesity. In addition to “being fat”, it is also largely the result of abdominal wall tension change. During pregnancy, excessive abdominal fascia pulling occurs, leading to postpartum fascia relaxation and even rectus separation. As a result, the abdominal wall tension is reduced, causing the original contents in the abdominal cavity to bulge outward, thus causing the belly to bulge and convex. The “beer belly” seen in some men is caused by the accumulation of mesenteric fat within the abdomen, causing the abdominal pressure to increase and the belly to “stick out”. In fact, there is really not much subcutaneous fat, and liposuction is of limited use. Abdominoplasty is needed to remove relaxed and sagging skin, lift the abdomen, and tightly suture the relaxed abdominal wall fascia, making it firm and flat. This is the ultimate solution to the problem and significantly improves the overall curve of the waist and abdomen.

♦Who Need Abdominoplasty

1.Those who intend to improve postpartum stretch marks.

2.Those who experience abdominal relaxation after weight loss.

3.Those with abdominal skin laxity, severe wrinkles, lack of elasticity, and minimum subcutaneous fat.。

4.Those who have minimum abdominal fat but experience bulging.。

Abdominal tissue relaxation can be improved through surgery in order to adjust the abdominal fascia, the tightness of the rectus abdomens, and abdominal skin relaxation, thereby achieving graceful and firm abdominal curves.

Abdominoplasty can be divided into two types: local abdominal lift surgery (commonly known as minor lift) and general abdominal lift surgery (commonly known as major lift). Either or the two kinds of surgical procedures is used depending on the degree of abdominal relaxation.

♦Local Abdominal Lift Surgery

It is generally for those with abdominal wall fascia relaxation or rupture due to pregnancy or skin fascia and rectus abdomens relaxation after weight loss. Local abdominal lift surgery is suitable for those with skin relaxation below the naval, a smaller area of stretch mark, and symptoms concentrated in the lower abdomen. From above the bikini line, an incision 15-20cm in size is made. The abdominal skin and fat are pulled all the way to the naval area. Then, the relaxed abdominal fascia is tightly sutured. Finally, the abdominal skin is pulled downward to the upper margin of the pubic hair to remove the excess part and suture the wound.

♦General Abdominal Lift Surgery

When the entire abdomen is severely relaxed and protruding, minor lift surgery may have limited effectiveness. To achieve satisfying results, major surgery is adopted to make improvement. Major lift surgery and minor lift surgery are essentially the same. Repair is made from the lower margin of the chest to above the pubic bone. The rectus abdomens fascia is then tightly sutured and loose skin is removed. However, the wound in the lower abdomen above the bikini line is extended to the sides of the pelvis, while the abdominal skin fat needs to be pulled to the ribs below the chest and the loose abdominal wall fascia from the lower margin of the chest to the upper margin of the pubic hair is tightly sutured. After positioning the naval location again, the appearance can be improved.

♦Advantages

This method can completely remove the bulk of abdominal skin and fat from the pubic hair to the naval area. The Caesarean wound may be chosen as the site of the surgical wound to simultaneously carry out scar repair. The scar is hidden within the bikini area, so as to solve the problem of a prominent scar shown when a bikini is worn. After the abdominal lift surgery, the waistline can be reduced by 2-4 inches, making the waistline slimmer. However, in order to prevent poor wound healing, liposuction near the wound and above the abdomen is not recommended.
