The Best Candidates
You are an ideal candidate if you have a good health
as a primary consideration. The decision whether
to perform suction alone ( liposuction), or a traditional
abdominoplasty obviously depends on the integrity
of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The recommendation
is also to have given birth, and preferably have
no further plans to have another baby.
Risk of Complications
The most frequent complications such as wound infection,
wound separation, hematoma, serums, and nerve damage
as well as some of the rare problems: pulmonary
fat embolism syndrome and thormboembolic phenomena.
Many drugs have influence on platelet activity,
especially aspirin and others anti-inflammatory
agents such as naproxen. It is imperative that such
medications be discontinue in order to prevent excessive
bleeding.
It is well known that smoking has a profound influence
on the potential for skin slough, particularly in
extensive undermining. All patients must be cautioned
to stop smoking for at least two weeks before surgery.
