The Abdominoplasty (illustrated)

Abdominoplasties are performed for a number of reasons other than for just cosmetic purposes. A diastasis recti ( otherwise known as mummy tummy) often results in a permanent and unacceptable gap in the midline of the abdomen. Not many people are aware that these gaps are not only unsightly but can result in recurring backache and other symptoms which permanently reduce the quality of life. So, what happens during an abdominoplasty? Is it for everyone? What are common post-operative complications and are there any potential long term unwanted complications?. The author takes us through an abdominoplasty and looks at the benefits as well as the problems which could occur . The book is illustrated throughout and is a good reference for anyone who wants to know more about this popular operation. .
