Toned abdomen
Tummy tuck
Why is it done?
A tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a procedure to reshape the abdomen. This includes the excision of excess 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 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 helps manage muffin tops and excess loose skin.
Several benefits include:
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 to 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.
Understanding the tummy tuck procedure
How does an abdominoplasty procedure work?
The surgical process of abdominoplasty, or 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 an 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 temporarily to help drain any fluid buildup. A large bandage is 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 the skin. For those who have lots of saggy skin, this method may be less effective.
Duration of the treatment
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, 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 to ensure absolute comfort as you wake up and continue the recovery process.
Pain management during and after the procedure
How painful is tummy tuck surgery?
Most patients report being sore for several days to a week after the procedure. The level of discomfort will depend on the 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.
Keeping scars hidden with tummy tuck incisions
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.
If 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.
Pairing abdominoplasty with other treatments
Can you combine tummy tuck with other procedures?
A tummy tuck 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, 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.
