with this we achieve safety and comfort, since for the patient it is like a general anesthesia and does not feel pain.<\/p>\n<p>It is ambulatory, that is to say that the same day it is withdrawn to its home.<\/p>\n<p>The next day you can bathe and after 7 days the stitches are removed.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the hernia, the degree of the diastasis of the muscles and the flaccidity of the skin, is the type of incision that is used.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testimonio-de-pacientes\"><\/span>Patient testimonial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following is a young patient who had her second child a year ago. Three months ago a breast prosthesis was placed and now she is consulting us because she can see her wide waist, she refers to it by the name of batraciform, on palpation an umbilical hernia and a large diastasis of the rectus muscles of the abdomen are found. It does not present sagging skin.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure we performed was a laser lipomodelation of the anterior, lateral and back abdomen.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid scarring, an abdominal Plastic Surgery was performed, that is, the plication of the abdominal muscles and fascia endoscopically through a minimal incision in the navel.<\/p>\n<p>For those patients who have flaccidity and diastasis, it is generally necessary to make an incision close to the pubic hair, the extent of which will depend on the amount of skin that needs to be removed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on the images to enlarge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/hernia_umbilical2.jpg\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/hernia_umbilical2.jpg\" alt=\"Umbilical hernia\" width=\"249\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/hernia_umbilical.jpg\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/hernia_umbilical.jpg\" alt=\"Umbilical hernia\" width=\"223\" height=\"177\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/hernia_umbilical3.jpg\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/hernia_umbilical3.jpg\" alt=\"Umbilical hernia\" width=\"205\" height=\"177\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consultas-via-internet\"><\/span>Consultations via internet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div>If you have questions or queries about the procedure, enter <a title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/en\/queries\/\">here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/udGKKYDo4Q4?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L3fnl7ApN-s?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6adda3d2493f9\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"nectar-fancy-box using-img\" data-style=\"default\" data-animation=\"\" data-hover-o=\"default\" data-border-radius=\"default\" data-border=\"\" data-box-color-opacity=\"1\" data-delay=\"\" data-alignment=\"left\" data-color=\"accent-color\" ><div class=\"box-bg\" role=\"presentation\"  style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/caballito.jpg'); \"><\/div> <div class=\"inner\" style=\"min-height: 200px\"><i class=\"icon-default-style fa fa-calendar\" data-color=\"accent-color\" style=\"font-size: 40px!important; line-height: 40px!important;\"><\/i>\n<h2>Schedule consultation<\/h2>\n<p>Book a consultation at our medical centers located in <strong>Rocking horse<\/strong>, <strong>Belgrano<\/strong> and <strong>Pillar<\/strong><\/div> <div class=\"link-text\">Schedule consultation<span class=\"arrow\"><\/span><\/div> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/en\/shifts\/\" class=\"box-link\"><\/a> <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diastasis de los m\u00fasculos recto abdominales.
