Understanding Abdominoplasty in Cape Cod

Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery considers abdominoplasty the gold standard of abdominal cosmetic procedures. This surgical intervention is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight changes or post-pregnancy body transformations. The procedure not only enhances aesthetic appearance but also addresses functional muscular changes.

Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand that abdominoplasty involves a surgical incision, which will result in a scar. Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery surgeons strategically place incisions low on the abdomen to minimize visible scarring and optimize aesthetic outcomes.

Surgical Approach and Recovery

Cape and Islands Plastic Surgery provides comprehensive patient care throughout the abdominoplasty process. Patients typically stay overnight in the hospital, allowing Dr. Loffredo and Dr. Jones to manage pain control and provide essential nursing care. The recommended two-week recovery period ensures proper healing and optimal results.
