Plastic surgeon dispels myths about abdominoplasty

Andrey Lelikov, a plastic surgeon, candidate of medical Sciences, member of ISAPS and ROPRE, dispelled the myths about abdominoplasty, one of the most popular plastic surgeries that significantly improves the appearance of the abdomen.

In conversation with the agency RuNews24.Ru On Wednesday, November 5, he noted that abdominoplasty is an operation on the anterior abdominal wall aimed at correcting the abdomen. It can include the removal of excess fat, the elimination of muscle diastasis, the plasticization of hernial gates and the removal of excess skin.

According to the specialist, it is advisable to reduce weight before the procedure — this reduces the amount of adipose tissue, makes the operation less traumatic and accelerates recovery. After the intervention, it is important to maintain a stable weight so that the result is maintained.

Lelikov also dispelled several myths about abdominoplasty. He stressed that the operation does not cure obesity, but only corrects the shape and strengthens the abdominal muscles. The effect persists for a long time if the recommendations are followed and weight is controlled. The doctor called concerns about noticeable scars groundless: incisions are made along the linen line and inside the navel, so the scars become almost invisible over time, notes 360.ru .

The expert recalled that the success of the procedure depends on the professionalism of the surgeon and compliance with all recommendations during the recovery period.
