Abdominoplasty

An Abdominoplasty, also known as a "Tummy Tuck", is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to flatten the abdominal area by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure has become very popular in recent years.

The main reason for a Tummy Tuck is to remove excess skin, not excess fat. Although some fat can be removed, the procedure is not designed to remove large amounts of fat. It is considered contouring surgery, not fat-loss surgery.

Who is the Best Candidate for Abdominoplasty?

People often need surgery when they are pregnant or have lost a lot of weight and have extra skin that is difficult to remove.

Although people often do this procedure for cosmetic purposes. You may wonder if a Tummy Tuck has any other health benefits.

Reasons To Get Abdominoplasty -

  • To Tighten-Up Muscles -

Abdominoplasty may be considered when the underlying abdominal muscles are stretched or damaged, often resulting from pregnancy. These muscles cannot repair themselves.

  • Excess Skin Removal - 

Weight changes, along with pregnancy, can lead to sagging of the abdominal skin. Once the skin is stretched, it is almost impossible to regain its original shape through exercise alone.

  • For Fat Removal -

During a tummy tuck, not only excess skin can be removed, but fat around the abdomen can be removed using liposuction. In the past, the scalpel was used to remove the underlying fat. However, liposuction is now considered the gold standard since it spares the lymph and blood vessels. This reduces the risk of bleeding, as well as the potential for excessive fluid loss and loss of blood flow to the skin. 
By using liposuction to remove excess fat, many patients can achieve better abdominal tone and results.

Benefits of getting Abdominoplasty -

If you lose a lot of weight before getting the Tummy Tuck procedure, you may experience benefits such as reduced risk of chronic disease, but this is not a side effect of the surgery.

  • May Decrease Back Pain and Support Better Posture - 

Following delivery or after the loss of a significant amount of weight, the stomach muscles become weak which causes some women to have back pain.

Tightening of the abdominal muscles helps support a stronger core, which is necessary for stabilizing the spine and relieving back pain.

  • Improve Urinary Incontinence - (SUI)

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) occurs when there is too much pressure on the bladder or urethra.
Although SUI is usually treated non-surgically, a Tummy Tuck can benefit some patients, especially women.

  • Abdominoplasty may Correct Hernia - 

Hernias occur when an organ is pushed through an opening in a muscle or tissue. They commonly appear in the abdomen and are not life-threatening.

Abdominoplasty can help fix a ventral hernia by decreasing pressure on the abdominal wall and strengthening weak abdominal muscles.
