What to do if the skin on the abdomen is loose?

Pursuing beauty is a woman’s right, but as they age, many female friends will find that their abdominal skin has become loose. This undoubtedly brings a heavy burden to female friends, but what should they do when faced with loose abdominal skin? It is not enough to rely solely on cosmetics for maintenance, so we need to know more about daily care methods.

Mini tummy tuck surgery: It is suitable for those with loose skin below the navel and narrow stretch marks, while the tightness of tissues in other parts of the abdomen is acceptable. The surgical method is to make a horizontal incision of about 12 to 15 centimeters along the upper edge of the pubic hair in the lower abdomen to the upper muscle fascia, and then separate it upwards to the range of loose skin tissue. If necessary, the loose rectus abdominis membrane will be sutured and tightened to the center to increase the tension of the abdominal wall and create a waist curve. Finally, the belly is pulled down, excess skin and fat are removed, and the wound is sutured.

Standard Abdominal Lift: Suitable for those with loose abdominal skin, lack of elasticity, excess fat and stretch marks. The surgical method is to make a horizontal incision along the upper edge of the pubic hair in the lower abdomen, which may extend to the waist on both sides. The wound is cut to the fascia above the muscle and then separated upwards to the lower edge of the ribs. The main purpose is to allow the rest of the skin tissue of the entire abdomen to be tightened, and then the loose rectus abdominis membrane is sutured and tightened to the center, and then sutured. Usually, the loose skin and tissue of the entire lower abdomen and even stretch marks are also removed. The wound can then be hidden on the pubic bone which can be covered by underwear.

Endoscopic abdominal plastic surgery: Suitable for those who have no loose skin tissue but have obvious rupture of the rectus abdominis membrane, resulting in a noticeable bulging abdomen. The surgical method is to make an incision of about three centimeters at the navel or the upper edge of the pubic hair. With the help of an endoscope, the tissue is separated, the rupture of the rectus abdominis muscle is found, and it is sutured and tightened to the midline to improve the appearance of the bulging abdomen.

Abdominal facelift surgery can also be combined with liposuction. This surgery is suitable for patients with loose abdominal walls and abdominal fat accumulation. Only by combining abdominal facelift surgery and liposuction can the perfect effect of overall abdominal and waist body shaping be achieved.
