Scar massage is an essential component of recovery following an abdominoplasty procedure. This massage technique aids in breaking down rigid scar tissue and promoting healing. Begin approximately two to three weeks post-surgery, when your surgeon approves. Using firm, circular motions with your fingertips, gently massage along the scar line. This technique should be executed for five to ten minutes, twice daily. Over time, consistent massage can decrease the visibility of the scar by improving the circulation to the area, enhancing skin elasticity, and preventing adhesions. It's crucial to use a suitable moisturizing agent, such as a topical silicone gel or vitamin E oil, to ensure smooth movement and conditioning of the tissue. Always follow your surgeon's specific guidelines to optimize healing and reduce the risk of complications.

The main difference between a standard abdominoplasty and a fleur de lis abdominoplasty lies in the extent and direction of skin removal and tightening. In a standard abdominoplasty, the excess skin is primarily removed and tightened in a vertical sense, with incisions typically made in a horizontal line across the lower abdomen. This method is most effective for patients with excess skin, predominantly around the lower abdominal region, often resulting from pregnancy or moderate weight loss. In contrast, a fleur de lis abdominoplasty is more comprehensive, as it addresses excess skin both vertically and horizontally. This technique involves an additional vertical incision, which allows for the removal of more skin, making it ideal for individuals with significant weight loss who are left with extensive sagging. Thus, the choice between these procedures depends on the patient's specific anatomical needs and the surgeon's assessment of the most effective approach to achieve the desired body contour.

Dr. Beldholm provides an in-depth discussion on thigh lift (thighplasty) procedures, focusing particularly on inner thigh lifts as part of body contouring surgery after weight loss. He explains different approaches, including a mini lift with a groin incision and liposuction for less extensive cases. Dr. Beldholm highlights the challenges and common issues associated with traditional T-junction techniques, such as complications and infections, particularly in the junction area. To address these issues, he suggests a more strategic method by dividing the procedure into two separate operations for the lower thigh and upper thigh areas. This discussion aims to shed light on the intricacies and careful considerations required for successful thigh lift surgeries.
