Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 58-year-old male, weighing 242 pounds with a height of 6 feet 4 inches. I have been struggling with excessive skin around my belly for a long time, and it has affected my mood. People fat-shame me wherever I go, and I feel ashamed even to go to the beach. I read about a procedure called abdominoplasty on the internet, but the information confused me. I am looking for clarity on this. Can this procedure help me? May I know a bit more about the process and what to expect from it? I just want to feel confident about my body again. I am really in need of some help.
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. Wearing a pressure garment following your procedure for a month helps reduce any complications. Follow all the instructions given by your plastic surgeon.
I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.
Thank you.
