Ultrasound of the abdominal wall and soft tissues

Ultrasound of the abdominal wall and soft tissues is a gentle, non-invasive examination that provides real-time imaging of the subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and fascia. It helps assess conditions such as diastasis, hernias, fat deposits, scars, seromas, or hematomas and serves as a reliable basis for further management. The examination involves no radiation and is also suitable for monitoring postoperative healing.

Before and After the Procedure

How does ultrasound of the abdominal wall and soft tissues work?

Consultation and targeted examination

At the beginning, you will briefly discuss your symptoms, previous procedures, and any changes you have noticed. The doctor will explain how the examination will proceed and identify the areas to focus on. If you have medical reports or prior imaging studies, it is helpful to bring them for a better assessment of the overall context.

The ultrasound examination

Gel is applied to the area being examined, and the doctor places the ultrasound probe. Structures of the abdominal wall and soft tissues are observed in real time, both at rest and during slight muscle contraction or coughing. This process helps accurately assess the presence of hernias, diastasis, or other changes.

Conclusion and recommendations

Results are available immediately. The doctor will clearly explain the findings and recommend the next steps, which may include lifestyle measures, monitoring over time, or referral for a specialized surgical consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be fasting?

Usually not. If the ultrasound is combined with other procedures, you will receive individual instructions.

Does the ultrasound reliably detect diastasis and hernias?

In most cases, yes—especially when examined both at rest and with abdominal muscle activation. The doctor may recommend additional methods if appropriate.

Is the examination painful?

No, you will only feel the cold gel and slight pressure from the probe. Sensitivity may be increased in areas with recent scars.

When will I get the results?

Usually immediately after the examination, along with recommendations for further management.

Can it assess the condition after surgery with a mesh?

Yes, ultrasound helps evaluate scar healing, any surrounding changes, and the condition of the soft tissues. The doctor will determine the appropriate timing post-surgery.

How can I schedule a consultation?

A standard consultation takes approximately 30–60 minutes. During the consultation, the doctor will assess your situation, explain possible treatment options, and answer all your questions.

What are the pre-operative instructions?

Compression garments should be worn continuously for 6–8 weeks, including during sleep. They help reduce swelling, support the tissues, and promote scar healing. After consulting with your doctor, wearing time can be gradually reduced.

Are plastic surgeries painful?
