Intro To Abdominoplasty.

Are you ready to get a flat and well-toned tummy? Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a surgical procedure that aims at removing excess fat and skin from the tummy and tightening the abdominal muscles, resulting in a flat and well-defined belly. Often, women choose this surgery as a part of a “mommy makeover”, which is a treatment that helps women regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. Abdominoplasty was the fourth most popular cosmetic surgical treatment in the United States in 2019, with over 140,000 surgeries performed in that year alone. Furthermore, there are multiple types of abdominoplasties, including full, mini, and circumferential abdominoplasty. Your doctor will choose the type that suits your needs.

  • You’ll need to take 4 to 6 weeks off work and avoid driving for a few weeks.
  • You can wear a special corset or trousers for 6 weeks to stimulate faster recovery and decrease swelling.
  • Avoid strenuous activities during this period and keep your knees bent while in bed to avoid putting tension on your sutures.

FAQ's

Both men and women can undergo an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) if they meet certain criteria. If you’re healthy and without active illnesses or major pre-existing medical conditions, you might be a good candidate for this procedure. However, you must talk to your doctor about your goals and your pregnancy plans in the future, and you should remember that this surgery is not a cure for obesity, and it doesn’t replace a healthy lifestyle. In any case, good candidates for a tummy tuck should meet the following criteria: Are within normal weight and height ranges Have no intentions for future pregnancies (for women) Have a moderate amount of excess skin and fat Nonsmokers

There is more than one type of abdominoplasty. These abdominal surgeries can be done in different ways depending on the person’s condition and many of the following questions: – Is there sagging in the skin of the abdomen? – Are there fatty deposits under the skin? – Did abdominal muscles and sagging appear after the pregnancy? All these questions determine the steps of tummy tuck surgery. In the case of sagging skin, only the skin is tightened. If there are a lot of fat deposits, then liposuction can be combined with skin tightening. If there is a problem with the abdominal muscles after pregnancy, this problem must be fixed before performing the tummy tuck surgery.

– After the swelling completely disappears in the post-operative period, the person begins to notice the results. – Keep in mind that the results of abdominoplasty do not appear immediately. The person must be patient for a while after the surgery until the results are noticeable as the body recovers from the surgery. – As long as there is no pregnancy or noticeable weight gain after the abdominoplasty, the results will remain clearly visible to the patient.

The answer to this question depends on several factors: – If muscle repair is not required, recovery from the surgery is likely to be faster and the individual needs less recovery time. – People who have undergone the surgery and muscle repair can return to their normal lives- such as driving a car- within a week. – Full recovery is achievable within a few weeks. The scars begin to fade within a few months.

The results of abdominoplasty last for long periods as long as the body weight remains stable over time, and it does not need to be repeated, but this does not prevent the appearance of signs of aging such as saggy skin.

The answer depends on the location of those marks, but the answer is usually “Yes”. abdominoplasty removes most of the skin in the lower abdomen. The stretch marks are removed from this area during the removal of the excess skin, but if the stretch marks are outside this area, the surgery will not help get rid of them.
