If you are unhappy with the appearance of your tummy, you may want to learn more about the procedure and what it can do for you. This procedure, also known as abdominoplasty, involves removing excess fat from your abdomen and re-building separated abdominal muscles. The end result is a firmer, flatter stomach. You can even choose to have a tummy tuck if you haven’t gained any weight recently.
A tummy tuck procedure is a surgical procedure performed to tighten your abdominal muscles and remove excess skin and fat. You will be required to take four to six weeks off from work and may not be able to drive for a few weeks after the procedure. You will be required to wear a corset for six weeks following your surgery. This corset will help encourage healing and reduce swelling. During the recovery process, it is important to rest and take it easy. Keep your knees bent while lying in bed, and don’t strain your stitches.
After a tummy tuck, the surgeon will make incisions in your abdomen. These incisions are placed in strategic locations along your torso to ensure a smooth, even result. A mini-tummy tuck scar will be about two to four inches long. It’s a shorter procedure than a traditional tummy tuck. The procedure will leave you with a flatter, firmer abdomen, which will look better under fitted clothing.
For a tummy tuck to be more sustainable and give better results, it should only be done when overweight people have lost their excess weight and women planning to get pregnant will have this procedure done after childbirth.
Risks of Tummy Tuck
All surgical procedures carry risks. Hundreds of tummy tuck surgeries are performed every year. The lower abdominal bikini scar will usually fade over time. (Depending on the response of your wound healing). There may be problems such as partial loss of skin, infection, wound opening, hematoma and visible marks.
Operation
A classic tummy tuck operation takes 2-3 hours depending on the size and width of the abdomen. A mini tummy tuck takes about 1-2 hours. Your doctor will make the incision where he planned before the surgery. With a mini tummy tuck, the incision is smaller and does not attract attention after surgery.
In a classic tummy tuck, the skin is detached from the abdominal wall to the bottom of the ribs. Eliminates weakness in the abdominal muscles. The result is a flat stomach and a tapered waist. The skin is tightened and excess skin is removed. A new location is created for your navel. At the end of the operation, the patient is put on a suitable corset.
