A second operation may be necessary for the elimination of hematoma, but it has no effect on the final result of abdominoplasty.\n\u2022 Post-operative infection (0% in our cases).
\n\u2022 Seroma (2% in our cases). It refers to the collection of clear fluid beneath the skin that usually appears in the first 10-15 days after surgery. Small amounts of fluid resolve by themselves or are eliminated by a doctor via a thin syringe.
\n\u2022 Venous thrombosis – pulmonary embolism (0% in our cases). It is the most serious complication of all. It can be avoided by the use of special devices that make massage to the patient\u2019s calves during surgery. Massage provides constant blood supply of lower limbs of the operated patient. After surgery, the doctor will prescribe anticoagulants (drugs that prevent thrombus formation).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1647366027223{padding-bottom: 1rem !important;}”]

The intense swelling will subside gradually within the first 3 weeks following surgery. The result is permanent. If someone puts on some weight, he\/she will gain weight evenly in the area of the abdomen, but the areas that haven\u2019t undergone lipoplasty will be affected more.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”7\/12″ el_class=”noTopPadding”][vc_column_text]Over the last six years, we use, in almost every surgery, the combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty.<\/p>\nThe combination of simultaneous liposuction and abdominoplasty results to the permanent fat loss, reduction in waist circumference, the tightening of abdominal muscles and removal of excess skin, all in one surgery. This minimizes the postoperative complications and pain and leads to faster recovery and return to the everyday routine.<\/p>\n
Postoperatively, there is only a waterproof patch along the incision. Immediately after the surgery, the patient wears a supportive abdominal binder or compression garment.<\/p>\n
After an Abdominoplasty Surgery usually, there are two thin drainage tubes that come out of two small holes on the line of pubic hair and result in a bottle.
\nThe drainage tubes are used to drain the liquids that are accumulated underneath the skin. They are removed when the supply of liquids falls below 40ml. There are sutures, but all sutures are absorbable.<\/p>\n
Pregnancy is possible after an abdominoplasty surgery. But it is better to perform abdominoplasty after pregnancy, because pregnancy can lead to skin slackening and stretch marks.<\/p>\n
