How do I know if I&#8217;m a candidate for abdominal repair surgery?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those with sagging skin, diastasis or excess skin may be suitable for <\/span><b>abdominoplasty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after a medical assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Does a tummy tuck completely eliminate belly flab?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, the <\/span><b>tummy tuck<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> removes sagging skin, but the result also depends on post-operative care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. When should I look for a specialist in cosmetic surgery for the abdomen?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When excess skin or sagging abdominals begin to affect self-esteem or physical comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. What is the recovery time after abdominal reshaping?  <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recovery of <\/span><b>abdominal remodeling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes an average of 30 days, with progressive improvement in up to 6 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Can abdominal surgery be done together with liposuction?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes.   <\/span><b>abdominal surgery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be combined with liposuction to optimize body contour, with medical clearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. What are the risks of removing excess abdominal skin?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any surgery <\/span><b>abdominoplasty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involves risks such as seroma, visible scarring and thrombosis, which are minimized with good care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. How long after pregnancy can I have a tummy tuck?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>tummy tuck<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be done 6 to 12 months after giving birth, when the body has returned to hormonal balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Is there an age limit for abdominal contouring surgery?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no fixed limit. A   <\/span><b>abdominal contouring surgery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is indicated on the basis of general health and realistic expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Is abdominal muscle correction done in all cases?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Muscle correction is done in the   <\/span><b>abdominoplasty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> only when there is diastasis, which is common after pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Do I need to lose weight before seeing a surgeon for a tummy tuck?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes.   <\/span><b>abdominoplasty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  is not a substitute for losing weight. The ideal is to be close to your ideal weight before surgery. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out if abdominoplasty is right for you with Dr. Leandro Greg\u00f3rio, a specialist in plastic surgery in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":294614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3300],"tags":[3303,3301,3304,3305,3302],"class_list":["post-294608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plastic-surgery","tag-abdominal-flaccidity","tag-abdominoplasty","tag-plastic-surgeon-in-sao-paulo","tag-plastic-surgeon-in-sp","tag-plastic-surgery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emfoco.med.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
