What is a Abdominoplasty?

Toned Abdomen

Tummy tuck surgery

A tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgery to reshape the abdomen. This includes the excision of excessive skin and fat from the abdomen while suturing and tightening the underlying connective tissue (fascia). The excess skin and fat are then removed, and the remaining loose tissue is restored for a tighter, more desirable appearance.

The individuals who get this surgery are often those with some extra skin and fat around the belly button that do not go away even with dieting. By targeting concerns such as bulging, the presence of stretch marks, and stubborn fat that won’t budge from traditional methods like diet or exercise, a tummy tuck offers both physical and emotional relief. It gives you a flatter, firmer abdomen, and it helps you manage your muffin tops and your excess loose skin.

Several benefits include:

Flatter abdomen
Reduced bulging
Reduce stretch marks
Tighten the skin.
Fat removal

The many types

Extended Tummy Tuck

It is made through an incision from hips to back, which tightens up the entire waistline. Unlike a regular tummy tuck, the extended tummy tuck covers a larger area of coverage.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Mini tummy tuck is a less extensive procedure that uses small incisions within the lower belly so that it can remove a narrow range of skin or fat just beneath your belly button.

Complete Abdominoplasty or Full Tummy Tuck

The surgeon will create a small incision in your lower abdomen right above the pubic area for this operation. The incision will be made depending on how much excess skin you desire to eliminate.

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

This cosmetic surgery includes vertical as well as horizontal incisions on the stomach making a T shape giving it the appearance of a lily flower. It is generally done by people who have lost 100 pounds (about 45 kilograms) or more of their weight.

Surgery

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes fat and skin from the abdomen and tightens the stomach muscles. The procedure involves making an incision from hip to hip and repositioning the remaining skin.

Recovery

It takes about 6 weeks to fully recover and to see the full effect of a tummy tuck. You will usually need to wear a special type of corset or tummy-control pants for 6 weeks, to encourage your skin to heal properly and to reduce any swelling.

The procedure

Advanced Tummy Tightening

How does an abdominoplasty procedure work?

The surgical process of abdominoplasty, tummy tuck is generally performed in the operating room, under general anaesthesia that will keep you asleep and pain-free throughout your surgery. The operation begins with a cut across your abdomen, just above your pubic bone. The surgeons then cut away the extra fat and remove excess skin in both the lower as well as mid-abdomen. In some cases, they will also suture the muscles of the abdomen. For extended tummy tuck, this operation removes fat and skin from the sides of the abdomen, an area not addressed by a traditional technique for tummy control.

The incision will be closed with stitches, and the surgeon may leave tubes inserted excess abdominal skin temporarily to help drain any fluid buildup. A large bandage was also put on the area for better healing. In more minor instances, an endoscope is used through a smaller incision to tighten the muscles beneath their skin. For those who have lots of saggy skin, this method may be less effective.

2-3 Hour Transformation

How long does the tummy tuck treatment take?

A tummy tuck typically takes between 2 to 3 hours to be performed, depending on how much fat and tissue is removed. Once you have your initial consultation and discuss a treatment plan with the doctor, at that time you can obtain exact timing. Due to the general anaesthesia that will be used during surgery, you can expect a hospital stay following your procedure so we are able to ensure absolute comfort as they wake up and continue the recovery process.

Managed Recovery Comfort

How painful is tummy tuck surgery?

Most patients report being sore for several days to a week after the procedure. How much so will depend on what type of tummy tuck you opt for. Mini tummy tucks cause the least discomfort, while extended abdominoplasty surgery can be more painful. Pain medication will be prescribed by your surgeon to manage your pain while healing.

Discreet Scar Placement

Will my scar be noticeable?

Incisions for a tummy tuck are typically low on the abdomen, often near the pubic area. This location serves to hide scarring under most forms of regular attire, including swimwear and many types of underwear.

In the event you have had a C-section recently your surgeon may additionally be able to use this existing scar as part of the tummy tuck incision, consequently helping reduce visibility for both scars.

Versatile Body Sculpting

Can you combine tummy tuck with other procedures?

A tummy can be combined with other body contouring procedures such as breast surgery. Additionally, If you have already had liposuction to eliminate fat from your belly, then you might decide to add tummy tuck surgery because the liposuction will just remove excess fat and tissue under the skin but not get rid of excessive amounts of skin in the abdomen.

Am I suitable

Is Abdominoplasty good for me?

The ideal tummy tuck candidate:

Loose skin and stubborn belly fat.
Damaged abdominal muscles after an intense pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Individuals who are done having children because a future pregnancy may impact the surgery result.
It is also important that candidates be in good health with a stable weight, and have realistic expectations.

Who should avoid tummy tuck?

If you’re getting pregnant again or are about to get pregnant, it’s best to wait.
A patient who is seriously overweight probably will not be an excellent candidate for any kind of surgical procedure in general.
If you smoke, and are not prepared to quit at least temporarily for surgery, tummy tuck may be inappropriate.

The risks

Can a risk be prevented?

Complications and risks of tummy tuck surgery:

Risks of Anaesthesia: Complications related to anaesthesias may include allergic reaction, alterations of blood pressure and rarely chance for serious complications like heart attack or stroke.

Infection: Follow the care instructions carefully to keep your risk of infection low, take antibiotics as prescribed and keep that incision clean.

Bleeding: A rare but possible risk and has a possibility of transfusion for excessive bleeding.

Deep Vein Thrombosis: These are forms of blood clots that can occur in the legs and send themselves to your lungs. Use prophylactically with early mobilisation, compression stockings or anticoagulants as directed.

Seromas and Hematomas: Collections of fluid or blood may be expressed, which can become symptomatic or problematic in predisposing the body to infection.

Numbness and Sensation: After surgery, you may experience temporary numbness or different sensation which should improve with time but can be permanent.

Slow healing can be caused by smoking, diabetes or poor nutrition. If you do not heal after this time, other courses of treatments should be considered.

Scars: Scarring is a natural outcome. Laser therapy may improve appearance, however scars are typically still visible.

Injury to Deeper Structures: Damage may occur from muscle, nerve or organ; further surgery might be needed.

Chronic Pain: Continuous or ongoing pain is also a sign of potential complications or nerve damage. If the pain continues, see your surgeon.

Fat Necrosis: Appears as a hard lump and considered dead fat cells. This generally resolves itself, but in some cases can require medical intervention.

Medical Conditions: Being diabetic or obese can put you at a greater risk for complications. Make sure to tell your doctor everything in medical history.

Emotional: Surgery can alter mood or change your appearance. Prepare for emotional difficulties that may arise and discuss your worries with a surgeon.
