Abdominoplasty──鬆垮肚皮消消，曲線回來了！

經歷懷孕生產或體重快速變化等情況時，皮下組織中的彈力纖維禁不起擴張而斷裂，腹部皮膚失去支撐，就明顯產生鬆垮皺褶、下垂、肌肉鬆脫、妊娠紋出現的情況，抽脂手術搭配Abdominoplasty，在減少脂肪的同時可令腹部皮膚緊實，改善鬆弛程度。

Why does my belly skin sometimes sag?

In a normal, firm abdomen, the rectus abdominis muscles are neatly arranged and firm. When experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, or rapid weight changes, the abdomen expands rapidly in a short period of time, and the epidermis and dermis are stretched accordingly. However, the subcutaneous tissue may not be able to keep up with the speed of expansion, causing the elastic fibers in the subcutaneous tissue to break due to the expansion.

Therefore, once you lose weight, the abdominal skin, which has lost its support, will obviously become loose, wrinkled, sagging, with muscle atrophy and stretch marks appearing, especially after childbirth. At this time, exercise alone has very limited effect in restoring firmness. Liposuction combined with an abdominoplasty can reduce fat while removing, lifting and tightening excess skin, reducing wrinkles and laxity of the abdominal skin.

Buster belly! The secret weapons to restore firm belly skin: Abdominoplasty, radiofrequency skin tightening, and liposuction – a comparison.

What treatment options are available to restore firmness to the abdomen?

There are many treatments available that can help restore firmness to the abdomen. You can first assess your individual situation at home and choose a suitable treatment based on the degree of skin laxity, fat accumulation, and rectus abdominis muscle laxity. If necessary, liposuction can be combined to achieve the best results.

Personal situation	Your belly skin is slightly loose. Try diet control or exercise first, and then use non-invasive devices to help tighten your belly skin.	The abdomen is soft and bloated. This is caused by fat accumulation, and localized lumbar and abdominal liposuction may be considered for improvement.	For loose skin in the lower abdomen, a mini Abdominoplasty can achieve a noticeable and immediate effect, and can also be combined with liposuction.	The belly is completely loose and saggy like a Shar Pei, requiring extensive removal of excess skin.	In addition to a large belly, the skin on the abdomen is severely loose, like a swimming ring around the waist and abdomen. It is recommended to combine liposuction and Abdominoplasty for improvement.

Doctor's introduction

A helpful aid for post-operative recovery: Revitalizing Skin Post-operative Repair Drip!

Post-Revitalizing Skin Rejuvenation Repair Infusion is a specially formulated nutritional supplement containing multiple high-unit antioxidant formulas and comprehensive vitamins. Administered intravenously, it replenishes cellular nutrients, repairing damaged cells, reducing free radicals, and eliminating accumulated toxins within 1-2 hours of administration. As waste products decrease and circulation improves, a healthy complexion naturally radiates from the inside out. It's an excellent aid for strengthening internal environmental protection, replenishing body nutrients, assisting post-operative recovery, and shortening the recovery period after laser treatments, skin resurfacing, or general cosmetic surgery!

Preoperative preparation for surgery

After a thorough consultation and discussion with your doctor before the surgery, and after confirming the facelift area and cost, if you decide to undergo the procedure, a professional nurse will conduct a detailed health check to ensure your health status. Please inform the medical staff of any medical history, medications, or health supplements you are taking so that the doctor can assess your condition and ensure your safety. Generally, you should fast and abstain from water for 8 hours before surgery to ensure the surgery and anesthesia are performed under the safest conditions. Before the surgery, the surgeon will personally confirm the surgical method and location with you before starting surgical preparations.

Postoperative recovery

Immediately after the surgery, nursing staff will clean the surgical site (all facial and head cleaning will be completed while you are awake from anesthesia). Nutritional supplements will be provided during your recovery period in the recovery room to help you regain your strength. At the end of the surgery, an elastic bandage will be applied to the face to apply pressure to the surgical site, aiding in skin and tissue adhesion and reducing postoperative bleeding. The elastic bandage will be removed before discharge on the same day. During your follow-up appointment the following day, nursing staff will assist with wound dressing changes. Our hospital provides meticulous and attentive service to minimize your postoperative discomfort.

Postoperative recovery period

After a facelift, there will be swelling and tightness in the treated area. Applying ice can relieve discomfort and reduce swelling (please follow the clinic staff's instructions for applying ice; excessive ice application may cause frostbite). When showering at home, avoid pulling on the wound. There's no need to deliberately avoid getting the wound wet; simply keep it dry after cleaning. Maintain a normal lifestyle and good hygiene habits after the surgery, and avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods.

Under the guidance and evaluation of a physician, tissue adhesive can be used to facilitate a smoother postoperative recovery, improve postoperative results, and accelerate recovery. Because tissue adhesive can accelerate the adhesion between the skin and tissues, it helps reduce postoperative tissue exudation, thus significantly reducing postoperative swelling and shortening the recovery period.
