Tummy tuck

Abdominoplasty is the surgical term for the operation carried out to eliminate excess skin and fat from the mid to lower abdominal region. The abdominoplasty gives a flat and firm waistline.

The tummy muscles, that have been separated and weakened by pregnancy, can also be tighten at the same time and in the same procedure, if necessary.

The procedure may as well improve the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located below the navel.

This excess tissue is often the result of childbearing, or of obesity followed by considerable weight loss, both of which cause stretching or sagging of all the abdominal structures. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging.

Sometimes this conditions are inherited. In many cases, both surgeries, abdominoplasty and liposuction are recommended to achieve better results.

Technical Information

There is more than one possible procedure, in each case it is necessary to identify the type of problem and thus choose the best technique to correct the imperfection. The type of scars will depend on the patient’s anatomic condition and the need to correct the structures of the abdominal wall.

When there is an excessive amount of body fat together with elastic skin and correct abdominal muscles the imperfection is solved with a basic liposuction, the scars are barely visible.
If together with an excessive amount of fat we also find loose skin we will need to eliminate a certain amount of skin to achieve a flat abdomen. In this case the scar which remains will be above the pubis area and would be similar to that of a cesarean section.
If the abdominal muscles are also loose then they must be tightened and recontoured to achieve an optimal effect. In this case the scar is larger.

Frequently Asked Questions

A good candidate for a tummy tuck is someone who is close to their ideal weight, but has excess abdominal skin and weak abdominal muscles, either due to pregnancy or weight loss.
This surgery rarely brings complications, as long as it is performed within the established technical criteria. Among them, conveniently preparing each patient for the surgical act, in addition to analyzing the convenience of associating this surgery simultaneously with others. Obesity brings greater surgical risk.
During the tummy tuck recovery period, you will feel some discomfort and temporary pain, for which you will maintain a light dose of analgesics and must remain in semi-rest. The sutures will be removed in stages over the course of a few weeks. Moderate walks and other very light exercises will help relieve inflammation and prevent blood clots from forming.
No, tummy tuck is the intervention that is performed when there is excess skin and fat in the abdomen. Liposuction further aggravates the problem of sagging skin.
The scar resulting from a tummy tuck is located horizontally just above the implantation of pubic hair, extending laterally to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the volume of the abdomen to be corrected.
In the first months, the abdomen presents a relative insensitivity, in addition to being subject to periods of inflammation that gradually disappear. At this stage, the abdomen may appear stretched or flat. With the passing of the months and having started the lymphatic drainage, the final result will gradually be achieved. No result of a tummy tuck should never be considered definitive before six months post-operatively.
