Tummy Tuck

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A Tummy Tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles. It can help create a smoother, firmer, and more toned appearance in the abdominal area.

Who is a suitable candidate for Tummy Tuck?

Individuals who have loose or sagging abdominal skin, excess fat, or weakened abdominal muscles due to factors such as pregnancy, weight loss, or aging may be suitable candidates for Tummy Tuck. It is important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

How is the Tummy Tuck procedure performed?

During a Tummy Tuck procedure, an incision is made in the lower abdomen, typically from hip to hip. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat and may also tighten the abdominal muscles if necessary. The remaining skin is then repositioned and sutured back into place, creating a smoother and more contoured abdomen. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort.

What is the recovery process like?

After Tummy Tuck surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the abdominal area. Special compression garments or dressings will be provided to support the healing process and minimize swelling. It is important to follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions, including avoiding strenuous activities and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The initial results will be visible soon after surgery, but the final results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides and the body fully heals.
