Tummy tuck

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of this include:

Technique

Standard or full tummy tuck

It uses hip-to-hip incision below the navel and another scar around the belly buttock so it can be repositioned after removing the excess skin in the upper abdomen. After tightening the abdominal muscles with internal sutures and removing the excess skin, the remaining skin is pulled down over the stomach.

Extended tummy tuck

The horizontal incision reaches around the hips (i.e., sides of the lower back), so when the body is viewed posteriorly the tail ends of the scar are visible. Because the extended tummy tuck removes more skin from a wider area than the standard technique, it is often reserved for massive weight loss patients. Extended tummy tuck also requires a round incision to free the navel and reposition it higher once the excess skin has been removed.

Mini tummy tuck

Due to the natural "diffusion" of excess skin after weight loss and/or pregnancy, mini tummy tucks are only suitable for a small number of patients because of their minimal improvement. Mini tummy tucks, which require a 4-8 inches scar above the pubic region, do not reposition the navel nor remove the excess skin in the upper abdominal area.

Frequently Asked Questions

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the abdominal muscles to create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile. It's often sought by individuals who have loose or sagging skin due to factors like pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck are generally in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. It's commonly recommended for individuals who have excess abdominal skin and weakened abdominal muscles that haven't responded to diet and exercise..

Recovery from liposuction varies depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing factors. Patients typically experience some bruising, swelling, and discomfort, which can be managed with medication and compression garments. Most people can return to light activities within a few days to a week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

Yes, scarring is an unavoidable part of any surgical procedure, including a tummy tuck. The extent of scarring will depend on factors such as the surgical technique used and individual healing tendencies. Your surgeon will make incisions strategically, often within the bikini line, to minimize the visibility of scars. Over time, scars tend to fade but may remain somewhat visible.

Like any surgery, a tummy tuck carries certain risks, including bleeding, infection, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Other potential complications may include poor wound healing, asymmetry, changes in skin sensation, and dissatisfaction with aesthetic results. It's crucial to discuss these risks thoroughly with your surgeon before proceeding with the procedure.
