Although changes are noticeable from the first few weeks, definitive results are usually seen after six months, when the swelling completely disappears. These results can be maintained over time if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid significant weight changes or subsequent pregnancies.
After surgery, it's normal for the abdomen to experience swelling, fluid retention, and edema for the first few weeks. These effects are part of the recovery process. To promote healing and reduce swelling, the use of a compression garment or pressure therapy belt is recommended. This helps the tissues settle properly and speeds recovery.
Before surgery, it is important to follow these instructions:
Organize your agenda, since you will need at least 2 weeks of rest from work.
Quit smoking at least 4 weeks before and up to 4 weeks after the intervention.
Lay off oral contraceptives one month before the procedure.
Your surgeon will review all of these points with you during your initial consultation.
During the postoperative period, it is essential to follow certain recommendations:
Avoid intense physical exertion, especially in the abdomen.
Do not remove the girdle postoperative without medical indication.
Reduce the consumption of salt (avoid sausages, preserves and certain raw vegetables such as salads).
Not going to the gym or do sit-ups until the surgeon authorizes it.
take the medication indicated and combine it with draining agents if prescribed.
Following these guidelines helps with a faster and safer recovery.
It's completely normal for the area to appear swollen for the first few weeks. Fluid retention and swelling are part of the natural recovery process, especially after working on muscles, skin, and internal tissues. Over time, this swelling will subside, and the results will become more defined.
A year after surgery, the abdomen usually looks much flatter, firmer, and more defined. The skin adapts, the swelling disappears completely, and the scar visibly softens, revealing the final result.
Gaining weight after surgery can affect and compromise the results obtained.
These are the most common effects:
Skin tightening: Skin stretched during surgery may sag again.
Accumulation of abdominal fat: fat may be redeposited in that area.
Loss of contour: the aesthetic results may look less defined.
To maintain the benefits of surgery, it is essential to maintain weight control and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
It is generally recommended to wait between 4 and 6 weeks, depending on how your recovery progresses. It's important to avoid any activity that puts strain on your abdomen until your surgeon gives you the OK.
