In the realm of surgical innovation, the marriage of both functional and aesthetic concerns has reached new heights with Lock and Glue Lipoabdominoplasty. This procedure not only addresses the desire for a smoother, contoured abdomen but also offers a solution for those struggling with the discomfort and inconvenience of Abdominal Muscle Diastasis (split) and Hernias.
Traditionally, repairing Hernias associated with Abdominal Muscle Diastasis involves invasive procedures with a scar across the middle of the abdomen . However, our innovative Lock and Glue Lipoabdominoplasty merges elements of Diastasis and Hernia repair with Lipoabdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), resulting in a sleeker, more contoured abdomen while effectively treating the Diastasis and Hernia. The scar is hidden within the bikini line.
The Benefits of Lock and Glue Lipoabdominoplasty
- The Lock and Glue Lipoabdominoplasty is carried out as a day case involving Twilight Anaesthesia
- Twilight Anaesthesia results in a quicker recovery with little to no nausea or grogginess
- Day procedure reduces the risk of hospital acquired infections and the risk of DVT and pulmonary embolus as a result of earlier mobilisation
- The use of locking sutures and surgical glue (Lock and Glue) to ‘stick’ the tissue down obviates the use of drains and reduces the risk of seromas
- Repairing the abdominal hernia at the same time as the diastasis reduces the number of surgical procedures and scars.
