, the importance of intensity in training, low-calorie diet, etc.
However, while it is important for women to have a simply dry abdomen, a true six-pack is required for men. Let's see how.
will help slim the waistline. The transversal tone work will bring the belly "inward" and will limit the post-prandial visceral expansion.
We can therefore say that physical culture can do a lot for both the male and female abdomen, with a level program that includes work in the weight room and low-calorie diet.
The only limitations of this approach can occur following sudden weight loss or post pregnancy. In fact, even in the abdomen, when you go from obesity / overweight to normal weight / thinness, or you pass through a pregnancy, the phenomenon of sagging skin occurs - that is, the epidermis is unable to shrink as quickly as you lose weight. In young subjects, this phenomenon resolves itself within a couple of years, perhaps with the help of creams and lotions, and "filling" the area with muscle volume gained with anaerobic muscle exercises. However, it is not always possible to obtain a decisive result. That is, the skin can still remain annoyingly sagging.
Another problem, which however concerns almost exclusively males, is the fact that the male hormonal pattern tends to accumulate and maintain fat in the abdomen (overweight android), which turns out to be the last to be defined during a diet. More extreme cases are not resolved even with specific supplements: an unpleasant localized adiposity always remains. For these cases, therefore, surgical resolution is required through specific interventions.
. The operation of removing localized adiposity is instead called liposculpture.
Abdominoplasty
The "abdominoplasty" is the operation that eliminates the "abdominal apron" which, after a sudden weight loss or pregnancy, presents with excess skin (skin and subcutis).
Often, in these cases, there is also a collapse of the rectus abdominis muscles, which will be re-tensioned with sutures, to tighten them towards the midline, thus also reducing the "waistline".
A cut is made above the pubis which will be longer or shorter depending on the amount of skin to be removed, and it may be necessary to reposition the navel.
The operation takes place under local anesthesia with deep sedation or with general anesthesia lasting 2/3 hours. It requires hospitalization for 1/2 days and rest at home for about a week. The return to work will take place slowly in about two weeks. , time within which the bruises and edema will also disappear An elastic-compression sheath will be worn for about a month to recompact the skin without forming folds.
Liposculpture of the abdomen
Liposculpture is the evolution of the old liposuction, which was done with large cannulas; in liposculpture excess fat is aspirated with 2 to 4 mm cannulas, after having infiltrated the area with a cold physiological liquid solution, mixed with anesthetic and vasoconstrictors .
With this technique you can remove a few pounds up to a few pounds of fat. Fat is usually removed, but it can also be used as a filler for depressed areas of the body or to increase cheekbones, buttocks and breasts (lipofilling). The medical operator will take care not to carry out a simple flat and general aspiration, but to move along lines that shape the abdomen.
It is useful, as I said, for the removal of localized and limited adiposity, but it does not replace general weight loss; that is, liposculpture should not be understood as a substitute for diet and physical activity. The subject must first lose weight and reach a healthy weight, then retouch the results with liposculpture and, if necessary, also with abdominoplasty.
Interestingly, since liposculpture removes fat cells, the fat lost in the removed area should no longer reform. This is a very important notion. Obviously it will be possible to gain weight but the fat will be distributed in a slightly different way.
Returning to the intervention itself, it is carried out in the clinic for the smallest touch-ups with local anesthesia with solution, or in the day hospital for the most important jobs with general anesthesia. As already explained, the work in the clinic greatly reduces costs .
The points of the small incisions dissolve on their own or come off after a week (depending on the thread used); bruising and swelling subside and disappear within two weeks. It is very important to wear a special elastic-compression sheath for a month, to give the skin time to regroup without forming folds as in abdominoplasty.
In summary, through physical culture (training, diet and possible integration) it will be possible to achieve a dry abdomen. The final result, however, may not be satisfactory, as there may be some sagging skin (due to severe weight loss or pregnancy) and / or localized adiposity (small pads in the lower abdomen). If the treatment does not solve the problem, surgery could be used through abdominoplasty and / or liposculpture.
