Los beneficios médicos de una abdominoplastia

Es común que las personas se sometan a una   abdominoplastía  , que es también comúnmente conocida como cirugía estética de abdomen, para sentirse más confiadas con su cuerpo y su apariencia. Sin embargo, ¿sabías que la abdominoplastia también ofrece otras grandes ventajas a los pacientes que eligen este procedimiento? Además de eliminar el exceso de piel para dar una apariencia más delgada y compacta, también puede reducir el dolor de espalda y ayudar a mejorar la incontinencia después del parto. Ambas dolencias están comúnmente relacionadas con el trabajo de parto y el parto de un niño, y muchas mujeres descubren que someterse a este procedimiento también puede ayudarlas con otros problemas. Muchas veces las mujeres recurren a esta cirugía por cuestiones estéticas y también descubren que tiene otros beneficios.

  1. Alastair Taylor, de la Clínica CAPS en Deakin, Australia, realizó un estudio en 2018 que se enfocó en las mujeres que habían pasado por una abdominoplastía. Todas las mujeres habían pasado por trabajo de parto y habían tenido hijos antes de la cirugía y querían recuperar el tamaño y forma de sus abdómenes. También se les preguntó sobre sus dolores de espalda e incontinencia urinaria antes y después de la cirugía. Antes de la cirugía, más de la mitad de las mujeres sufría de dolores de espalda. Poco menos de la mitad de las mujeres sufría de incontinencia urinaria. Se les preguntó sobre estos temas para determinar si la cirugía podía eliminar esas dolencias.

Después de la cirugía, se les realizó un seguimiento a los pacientes y los investigadores descubrieron que experimentaron mejoras respecto a los dolores de espalda y la incontinencia urinaria. El procedimiento resultó un éxito en ambos sentidos, mejoró la apariencia física y además ayudó con los dolores físicos y molestias. Se cree que las mejores se producen debido a que con la cirugía se le devuelve el sustento a la región abdominal y pélvica del cuerpo. Quizás sería conveniente que aquellas mujeres que estén considerando esta cirugía también tengan en cuenta todos los beneficios que trae este procedimiento. Conocer todos los beneficios puede ayudarlas a elegir el procedimiento.

Las razones por las cuales las mujeres pueden tener las dolencias que mencionamos después del parto pueden variar. El cuerpo pasa por una gran serie de cambios al tener un bebé y el trabajo de parto puede ser muy invasivo y forzar al cuerpo. Durante el embarazo, el útero de la mujer se estira para alojar al bebé, los músculos abdominales se debilitan y también puede tener consecuencias en la postura. Subir de peso también puede causar dolores músculares y articulares. Los cambios hormonales también pueden causar dolor al perderse la firmeza de articulaciones y ligamentos. Del mismo modo, dar a luz hace que los músculos del piso pélvico se debiliten. Por esta razón, puede ser difícil controlar el flujo de orina y puede escaparse de la vejiga cuando se tose, estornuda, trabaja, etc. Junto con estos síntomas, el embarazo también cambia la apariencia del cuerpo. Es muy común aumentar de peso durante el embarazo, y no siempre es fácil perder peso después. Tener un hijo también puede causar un cambio en la apariencia del abdomen, los músculos se debilitan. Esto también puede hacer que se pierda fuerza debido a la pérdida de masa muscular.

Una abdominoplastía puede ser una gran alternativa para aquellas mujeres que no estén buscando solo cambiar la apariencia de su abdomen. También puede ayudar con el dolor de espalda y los problemas de incontinencia urinaria que pueden surgir después del parto. En conclusión, es esencial que no se considere a este procedimiento como una mere cirugía estética, sino como un procedimiento que puede ayudar con varias dolencias. La mayoría de los seguros médicos no cubren este procedimiento porque es un cirugía estética, pero quizás, cuando se investigue más sobre los beneficios funcionales que trae, se pueda empezar a considerar como una alternativa para calmar dolencias.

    Can anyone get cosmetic surgery?

    In order to maintain high safety standards, we ask that you complete a thorough medical exam before we begin your procedures. With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
