Depending on the complexity of the request, the duration of the operation varies greatly. Mostly under local anesthesia, Dr. Duclos makes incisions behind the scalp, the ears and in some cases under the chin.
At the end of the operation, allow approximately 1 to 2 weeks to fully recover from it. You will need to avoid exposing your skin too much to the sun, not to shower with water that is too hot and also to wear a chin strap.
The chin strap should be worn continuously for about two weeks, then 10 hours a day for another two weeks.
If you are ever interested in this intervention, please note that during your first consultation with Doctor Duclos, you will discuss the goals of the intervention. In addition, your face and more specifically your skin and underlying structures will be evaluated.

Belly lift or abdominoplasty
The reasons for requesting a stomach lift (abdominoplasty) can vary: weight gain, pregnancy, desire to refine one’s silhouette, etc. In fact, it is a relatively popular operation, because it is known that Over the course of a lifetime, the skin generally loses its hardness and eventually becomes flabby.
The surgical operation is quite simple, it consists of removing excess fat or skin in the lower part of your abdomen. If you want to obtain an even more convincing result, it will sometimes be necessary to combine the abdominoplasty operation with liposuction.
On average, this type of operation lasts between two to three hours. Be careful because the scars caused by the operation become permanent, however they tend to fade significantly over time.
The rest time is longer than for the facial and cervical lift. It takes between two to four weeks of rest, with the need to wear an elastic sheath for the first four weeks following the operation.
Finally, be aware that sometimes a simple liposuction operation is sufficient in itself and therefore does not require an abdominoplasty.
