A toned and flat stomach is something that we all want, but can’t always be achieved through diet and exercise alone.
The tummy tuck procedure, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin in the midsection to give an abdominal profile that is smaller, flatter and firmer. Often the procedure also restores weakened or separated muscles that have been damaged by age or pregnancy. Couple this surgery with a breast lift for the complete mommy-makeover!
Abdominoplasty is popular with women, especially after childbirth. A pregnancy stretches and extends a woman’s midsection with the abdominal muscles often split into two halves, especially after multiple pregnancies.
A tummy tuck can amend saggy issues and eradicate loose and excess skin and fat. This also has an impact on a woman’s body by tightening her abdominal muscles. The result is a fitter appearance to her stomach because fat cells are removed from the middle and lower parts of her abdomen, which narrows her waistline and stitches her underlying muscle and tissue together.
During your tummy tuck consultation, you will get an opportunity to discuss what your goals are and why you want to have an abdominoplasty done. This appointment will cover your medical conditions, any drug allergies, and your current use of medications, herbal supplements, alcohol, and tobacco. Any previous surgeries will also be discussed.
Your tummy tuck surgeon may want to take photographs and show before and after photos of our previous successful surgeries so you can an idea of potential final results. The surgeon will also discuss any risks involved with the procedure and make a final decision on how to proceed.
Being candid during your consultation will appease your worries and increase the success and safety of your abdominoplasty surgery. It is normal to feel some apprehension but getting important information prior to your surgery will go a long way to ensure the best results possible.

That the original technique for a tummy tuck rid patients of their belly buttons? It involved a long vertical incision that took out the belly button. Thankfully, today’s technique can place the scar where it can be hidden beneath a bikini bottom – and keep your belly button firmly in place!
That tummy tucks are for men too? Many men who suffer from sagging skin and loose skin can benefit from a tummy tuck. Even though it is very popular with women, tummy tucks can work for men too.
Any women (or men) in good physical health, non-smoker, and with a stable weight are great candidates for an abdominoplasty procedure. Sometimes, even with a regular exercise regimen and a healthy diet, it’s not enough to get rid of that extra fat or loose abdominal skin. Also, women who have lost skin elasticity, especially after several pregnancies, are good candidates for a tummy tuck.
There are a few things you will need to do to get ready for your procedure. You may be asked to get some lab tests done prior to your surgery. You will definitely have to stop smoking a few weeks before your procedure. You will need to avoid taking any aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs as well as certain herbal supplements. Talk to your surgeon about whether you should also stop taking your current medications.
It depends on which procedure you get done. There are two types of tummy tuck==: a partial abdominoplasty usually takes between one to two hours while a regular tummy tuck can take between two to five hours.
Some of the risks involved in an abdominoplasty surgery can include: a bad reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, deep vein thrombosis, asymmetry, fat necrosis, loss of skin, numbness, poor healing or infection, scarring, seroma, and skin discoloration. Although rare, sometimes blood clots can occur with a tummy tuck.
How strong are your abdominal muscles? The better your current health, the faster you can expect to recover. Every person heals differently meaning some people return to work in a couple of weeks while others can take a month.
For the first few days, you will likely experience some swelling in your abdomen and some general discomfort in the treated area. You can expect your stitches to be removed within a week and deeper sutures after two or three weeks.
It is recommended that you do light exercises since they help the healing process by lowering swelling (which decreases the chance of blood clots). On the other hand, strenuous exercises should be avoided for a few weeks until you feel ready to start using your abdominal muscles again.
As for your abdominal scars, they will look worse for a few weeks as they begin to heal. It takes between a few months to a year for the scars to heal properly and for them to flatten out and lighten in color. Although your abdominal scars never completely disappear, they can easily be hidden underneath your clothes.
