Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty)
Abdominoplasty, also called abdominal stretching, is among the most popular aesthetic practices of recent times. Tummy tuck surgery is performed to remove the loosened skin from lower and middle abdomen and also to stretch the abdominal wall muscles. After this procedure, which offers a highly aesthetically-pleasing look to the patients who have a protruding abdominal appearance, small surgical scars will be left. With the help of abdominoplasty, it is possible to achieve a firmer, better-looking, and smoother abdominal area. Patients can go back to their daily lives quickly as well.
Men and women who complain of sagging in their abdominal areas may be good candidate for this procedure. In addition, abdominoplasty is ideal for individuals who have a higher-than-ideal percentage of fat in their bodies, as well as for anyone who cannot get any result from the exercises they do or diets they follow.
Nowadays, with abdominoplasty, it is possible to eliminate the sagging and fat deposition that women experience after pregnancy. Elder patients may also experience fat deposition on their abdominal muscles over time. Any candidate who would like to eliminate these problems in a short time may undergo tummy tuck surgery. It is also possible to seek to get this procedure with the aim of losing weight. Since abdominoplasty fixes the elasticity of the skin, it boosts the self-confidence of the patients. The end results might be much better than your expectations.
Patients who would like to undergo abdominoplasty operation have the first consultation with the surgery. Once your doctor examines the fat depositions on your abdominal area and the skin tone, they will ask for the necessary medical tests. However, during this process, it is crucial to inform your doctor of the medications and vitamins you use, as well as your smoking habits.
A mini tummy tuck operation can be performed if the fat depositions accumulate under the umbilicus. However, if the fats reach the hips, abdominoplasty would be a much more optimal choice. Usually, liposuction procedures alone allow you to obtain the best results. Nevertheless, your doctor will proceed to make the necessary intervention after considering all the possibilities and your desires regarding the tummy tuck operation.
During the planning process of the surgery, you will also be informed of the type of anesthesia preferred by the surgeon. The surgeon who will give information about the costs and outcomes of the operation as well, will then inform you about the effects of the surgery. With Abdominoplasty, which results in successful transformations, your abdominal wall will be tightened while your waistline will be narrowed. Therefore, there will be no more fat problems. After surgery, however, it is important that patients follow a healthy diet plan.
The abdominoplasty procedure is completed within 2 to 4 hours. If mini-abdominoplasty is performed on patients, this operation can be completed within 1 to 2 hours. In this operation, firstly, an incision is made in the area extending from just above of the pubic area to the hip bone, and then a second incision is made to separate the umbilicus from other tissues. At this stage, the skin is separated from the abdominal wall to reveal the muscles in the abdomen. The abdominal muscles are then brought closer together and tightened for the repositioning.
In the process of removing excess skin, the piece of skin is pulled downwards. A new hole is made for the umbilicus and sutures are made. The procedure is then completed successfully by making the necessary interventions in order to prevent the expected fluid from forming in the surgical area.
After Tummy Tuck Surgery
After tummy tuck surgery, post-op swelling and pain can be controlled with medications. Therefore, the risk of serious pain or complications is very low. The surgeon will inform you about the renewal intervals of dressings and the duration of showers. While the sutures will be removed after the first week, return to daily life might take one or two weeks. It takes six months for the skin to completely recover. During this period, the patient should avoid strenuous exercises and protect the abdominal area from any impact. After a while, the new look in the abdominal area will be firmer and smoother.
