Abdominoplasty Procedure

This procedure is also called a Tummy Tuck. It is designed to remove extra fat and loose skin that tend to accumulate in the lower belly. Previous scars resulting from abdominal surgery or stretch marks after giving birth can also be treated this way. This operation can be useful for people after dramatic weight reduction, which can leave your skin loose, resembling an accordion. It is important to understand that this operation is not a substitute for diet and exercise. If there is also extra fat in the abdominal wall this operation can be combined with a liposuction, but it is advisable to wait 6 month between the two. This operation can also be preformed with breast augmentation; the implants can be inserted through the cut made in the abdomen, so additional surgery can be avoided.

During the surgery a longitudinal incision (20-30c"m long) in a shape of an arch is made just above the pubic hair. Through the incision the surgeon separates the skin and fat from the muscles, stitches them together in order to stretch the tummy and removes the extra fat and skin. The umbilicus is detached from the skin and returns to its new position after the stretch.

It is not wise to undergo the operation during the reproductive years because every delivery can loose your tummy and make it look fallen again.

After the surgery you'll have two scars, a longitudinal scar at the lower abdomen and a round scar around the belly button. The scars tend to fade away with time, but you should remember that the size and color of the scars couldn't be predicted.

The most common complication of the procedure is haematoma under the skin, which may need surgical drainage. Other complications such as infection and difficult healing are rare.

You will be discharged from the clinic one day after the surgery; you may fell pain in the scar area, which can be treated with painkillers, the bandages and a drainage tubes will be removed one day after the surgery. Most of the patients return to their daily activities after two weeks but exercise is not allowed for two month. During the surgery small nerves are injured, therefore you may fell numbness in your tummy, they usually recover after a couple of month. Swelling is normal during the initial period following the surgery. It takes about two month before the swelling completely disappears.

  • Fortaleza By bus
    As any major Brazilian city, Fortaleza can be done almost entirely by bus. Ticket price is R$ 1,60 (rare exceptions), and if you get off at a terminal you can change lines without paying again. Most lines run 7 days a week 0500-2300, give or take. The lines listed here, deemed most useful for tourists, will run roughly every 5-10 minutes daytime weekdays, frequencies perhaps halved nightime and weekends. Only the most useful parts of the routes are described. Some lines have the number 1 or 2 after their names, only to indicate direction, others don't. I.e. the very same bus with the same number and name could be running either from A to B, or from B to A. Ask!

  • The Southwest Oncology Group Study 9626 has examined the efficacy of megesterol acetate (MA) in treating hot flushes in women with breast cancer. It involved 288 patients (2 ineligible) with T1-3, N0-1, M0 breast cancer who had completed surgery and chemotherapy and at least 4 months of tamoxifen (if prescribed). They had to have experienced at least 10 hot flushes of any severity or at least five severe episodes per week. Overall, 85% were on tamoxifen, 40% had over 63 hot flushes per week and 75% had vasomotor symptoms for 6 months or longer. They were randomised to receive placebo (n=101), MA 20 mg (n=92), or MA 40 mg (n=93) for 3 months. Success at 3 months was defined as completion of treatment with a 75% or greater reduction in hot flushes from baseline. Another 3 months of treatment was given in the same blinded arm if success was achieved, and in those who were not classified as successfully treated, open-label MA 20 mg was added to blinded study drug and continued for 3 months. Success at 3 months was reported in: • 14% on placebo • 65% on 20 mg (p < 0.0001 vs placebo) • 48% on 40 mg (p < 0.0001 vs placebo) In addition, most successes at 3 months were maintained at 6 months (77% on 20 mg and 81% on 40 mg). There was however no significant impact on other menopausal symptoms. In physicians’ assessment of toxicity experienced by patients up to and including the 3-month evaluation, oedema and weight gain was reported in the placebo arm; fatigue in the MA20 arm; and depression, fatigue, nausea, and weight gain in the MA40 arm. There were no statistically significant differences by treatment arm for any toxicities. The researchers concluded that MA at the preferred dose of 20mg was successful in alleviating vasomotor symptoms in breast cancer survivors with durable results at 6 months. They suggest that “this treatment could be considered in women refractory to non-hormonal therapies whose symptom status is impaired by the vasomotor symptoms and who have been informed of the risk and benefit of such treatment by their physician.”
