Abstract

Aesthetics are in evidence. The effectiveness of a plastic surgery does not depend solely on its surgical organization because the care with pre and postoperative care has shown a preventive factor for probable complications and the promotion of a more satisfactory aesthetic result. In this context, abdominoplasty is a common surgery among women, and its performance usually happens after excessive weight loss, muscle loss and after pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze the performance of the esthetician before and after the abdominoplasty, verifying if the aesthetic approaches adopted are effective to provide the complete recovery of the patient, and to avoid possible complications. If I carry out a bibliographic review on the topic highlighted in books and periodicals, this article is also observational and descriptive, characterized by a prevalence study carried out with a group of eight female patients who had previously undergone abdominoplasty surgery, in the city of Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais. The instrument used for data collection was a structured and investigative questionnaire about the pre and postoperative period of abdominoplasty. Conclusion: Aesthetics is based on solid scientific concepts and has contributed a lot both in the pre and postoperative period, preventing and / or treating complications arising from plastic surgeries, also providing a reduction in postoperative anxiety, recurrent edema of surgical trauma, fibrosis and scarring.
