The influencer Virginia Fonseca 25, revealed that he underwent two medical procedures on Monday (6). In a video shared this Tuesday (7), she revealed that she underwent surgery to remove her umbilical hernia and underwent a mastopexy on her breasts.
In the stories, she says that the hernia “came out” after her three pregnancies and that she decided to have her breasts operated on for the same reasons, post-pregnancy. There, she also made a video showing the suite where she was hospitalized, in São Paulo.
According to plastic surgeon Luiza Hassan, specialist in aesthetic surgery and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), performing combined surgeries — that is, one more procedure at a time — can be an advantageous option for women looking for solutions to restore the appearance of the body after motherhood.
“Performing combined plastic surgeries can be an excellent option for patients who want to optimize recovery time and achieve more comprehensive aesthetic results in a single surgical step, undergoing anesthesia and hospitalization once,” says Hassan.
However, it is It is also important to understand the risks involved . “Performing multiple procedures at the same time can overload the body, significantly increasing the risk of complications, such as pulmonary embolism and infections. Each patient needs to be assessed individually to ensure that the process is safe and successful”, he ponders.
In cases like Virginia’s, who chose to perform mastopexy and remove an umbilical hernia in the same procedure, Hassan comments that it is a frequent association, but reinforces the need for each case to be thoroughly evaluated to ensure the safety of the combination of procedures desired.
“It is essential that the patient is in good general health, without clinical conditions that could compromise the procedure. This includes everything from weight assessment to analysis of anesthetic risk and recovery capacity”, he concludes.
What is an umbilical hernia?
An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through the opening in the abdominal muscles near the belly button, according to Mayo Clinic. The condition is more common in babies, but can also affect adults — in which case, there is a greater likelihood of surgical repair.
In adults, the most common causes for umbilical hernia are obesity, multiple pregnancies, fluid in the abdominal cavity, previous abdominal surgery, and long-term peritoneal dialysis to treat kidney failure.
What is mastopexy?
Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and remodeling breast tissue to lift the breasts. Therefore, the surgery is also called “breast lift”.
