Candidates:
Most New York abdominoplasty patients are looking
to flatten abdominal areas that contain excessive,
sagging skin. Most patients are in relatively good
physical shape but possess this problem area around
the tummy.
Intended
Results:
People who pursue abdominoplasty in New York can expect a more aesthetically
pleasing, flatter tummy. Because the muscles are tightened during the procedure,
a smoother result is combined with a more toned appearance.
The
Procedure:
New York abdominoplasty involves a slight incision at the lower abdomen,
where it can later be well hidden, even under revealing swimwear. The skin
in this area is lifted, the underlying muscles are tightened by the surgeon,
excess skin is removed, and then the remaining skin is strategically repositioned
to create a flat surface.
Risks:
All surgical procedures involve a degree of risk. Patients pursuing abdominoplasty
in New York, however, can better avoid these risks through awareness
and
patient/doctor communication. Some of the possible risks associated
with New York abdominoplasty are bleeding, infection, or poor healing
which can result in bigger scars and the need for a second procedure.
Recovery:
Most New York abdominoplasty patients are back to work about 2-4 weeks
after having surgery and go about a full 4-6 week after the surgery before
attempting anything more strenous. The complete fading and leveling out
of scars can occur over a time frame of several months to 2 years after
surgery.
Additional
options:
Plenty of people pursue just abdominoplasty in New York, as a stand alone
procedure. However, the results can be further enhanced when performed
in conjunction with another cosmetic procedure. Many New York abdominoplasty
patients combine the procedure with liposuction, breast procedures, or
a thigh or buttock lift.
