Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that
removes excess skin and fat from the middle
and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles
of the abdominal wall. It is also known
as abdominoplasty. A tummy tuck simply
removes excess fat and skin, and in most
cases restores weakened or separated muscles
creating an abdominal profile that is
smoother and firmer.
The best candidates for tummy tucks would be women or men in relatively good shape who have large fat deposits or loose abdominal skin that did not respond to diet , exercise or both. Women who have had multiple pregnancies and stretched their abdominal muscles and skin will specially benefit from such a procedure. Older patients who are obese and have lost the elasticity of their skin can also benefit from this procedure.
Tummy tucks can be used alone or in combination with liposuction to achieve the results you seek. Ask your surgeon what he recommends for you.Partial and complete tummy tucks are performed on an outpatient basis and can be done under general anaesthesia. Complete abdominoplasty usually takes two to five hours while partial abdominoplasty may take an hour or two.
Because any surgical procedure carries certain risks
and possible complications, you should
discuss the procedure in detail with your
plastic surgeon.After surgery, most people
return to their jobs in two weeks while
some others take three or four weeks before
going back.
The results of tummy tuck are usually
long lasting if you keep your weight under
control and exercise.
