- Duration
- About 2 hours
- Anesthesia
- Epidural with sedation
- Hospital stay
- 12 to 24 hours
Flankplasty treats the excess that shows above the waistband. It can be part of a tummy tuck or be done alone in selected cases.
For those without sagging skin, liposuction alone may be enough.
What is it?
Surgery to treat skin sagging on the flanks, the sides of the abdomen.
How is it done?
Surgery done alone takes about 2 hours, and the final scar stays hidden within underwear. It is usually combined with liposuction or complements a tummy tuck.
Recovery
Surgical glue along the whole scar eliminates dressings and allows earlier showering. Garments, compression plates and lymphatic drainage are part of recovery.
When surgery is done alone, posture does not change during recovery. Scar treatment starts early, with silicone sheets, creams and laser.
Times and techniques are averages and change from person to person. Every indication depends on an individual medical evaluation.
