Should I consider surgical removal of fat from the abdomen?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq, and thank you for choosing us as your provider for health care. I have gone through all your details and appreciate your concern. You need to undergo abdominoplasty along with liposuction for your belly. Abdominoplasty removes excess, loose, and hanging skin from your belly, helping to tighten the abdominal muscles. Liposuction will remove excess fat from your flanks, lower, and upper abdomen. Essentially, it is a body contouring procedure that improves the contours of your body, but it is not a weight-loss procedure.

What does the echography of my recurring pilonidal cyst show?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. The test mentioned here seems to be pointing towards the recurrence of the pilonidal sinus (a small cyst or abscess that occurs in the skin near the tailbone (coccyx), usually at the top of the cleft between the buttocks). So basically, the only option, as per your report, seems to be surgical intervention. The surgery includes the removal of the whole of the sinus tract along with its content, and it is left open to heal by secondary intention.

How to care for necrotic tissue post-abdominoplasty?

Hi, I am here to help you with your health queries. I read about your concern in detail. The necrotic patch needs debridement (removal) so that it heals properly, even if it is deep (down to the muscle). The photograph you have attached (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity) shows slough (a yellow, creamy substance, as you have mentioned) that also needs removal, either by medication or by debridement; your plastic surgeon will decide this. Once the wound is red and clean without any slough and develops good healthy tissues underneath, it will be closed by your plastic surgeon. Do not worry; a plastic surgeon can easily handle it.
