Tummy Tuck

An abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that's done to enhance the looks of the abdomen. Tummy tuck that is also known as abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen ( is tightened with the help of sutures. To create a more toned look the remaining skin is then repositioned. If you have excess fat or skin around the area of your belly button or a weak lower abdominal wall you can opt to have a tummy tuck, as it will also boost your body image.

Preparing for Tummy tuck

During your planning and visits to the surgeon, he will review your medical history. Share about your medicines, allergies, or any other health-related issues to avoid any complications afterward. During the physical exam discuss your expectations in detail for best results. Your doctor will recommend you to stop smoking, avoid certain medicines, maintain a stable weight, and will ask you to arrange for help during your recovery period.

The Procedure

The tummy tuck is done under general anesthesia. Depending on the extent and change expected by you, different procedures are followed. A small incision will be made to remove most of the skin and fat between the belly button and pubic hair in an elliptical or horizontal oval shape. Permanent sutures are then used to tighten connective tissues lying over abdominal muscles. The skin will be repositioned around the belly button and the incision will be stitched. There will be a scar that may fall along the natural crease within the bikini line. To prevent any kind of infection your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic.

After the procedure, the incision and belly button will be covered by the surgical dressing. To drain any excess fluid or blood small tubes will be placed along with the incision site. To prevent the formation of blood clots the health care team will help you to walk. You will be provided medicines to resist little pain. Do not worry about swelling it's normal after surgery. You will need a supportive abdominal garment for around 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure.
