What is a Tummy Tuck Procedure Or Abdominoplasty?

Are sit-ups not giving you the taut tummy you want? If you’ve got too much flab or excess skin in your abdomen that hasn’t responded to diet or exercise, you may be considering a “tummy tuck,” which doctors call “abdominoplasty.”

Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty is actually a cosmetic surgery technique used to produce a thinner and much more firmer, flatter abdomen. A tummy tuck tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, helping to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing, slimmer overall appearance. Having a flatter, firmer midsection can dramatically improve the way clothing fits and looks, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body.

It’s not the same as liposuction, although you may choose to get liposuction along with a tummy tuck.

Who Might Benefit from a Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty?

The decision to have any cosmetic procedure is personal, and patients choose to have tummy tucks for a variety of reasons. The best candidates are at or near their ideal body weight, are non-smokers in good health, and have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve for them. If any of the following describe you, a tummy tuck is an option to consider:

Diet & exercise have helped you lose weight, but your abdomen still protrudes and lacks tone.

Your abdominal muscles and skin are stretched and sagging following pregnancy.

After losing significant amounts of weight, you now have loose, excess skin hanging around your belly.

You have always had a belly that “sticks out,” even though you are in very good shape.

A tummy tuck can help patients in any of these situations address what they don’t like about their shape and achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Who Should Not Consider a Tummy Tuck Or Abdominoplasty?

If you’re a woman who plans to get pregnant, then you may want to postpone a tummy tuck until you’re done having children. During surgery, your vertical muscles are tightened, and future pregnancies can separate those muscles.

Are you planning to lose a lot of weight? Then a tummy tuck also is not for you. A tummy tuck should be a last resort after you’ve tried everything else. It should not be used as an alternative to weight loss.

What Are The Different Types of Tummy Tucks Or Abdominoplasty?

No two patients start with identical concerns, nor will any two patients share the exact same goals. Your Board Certified Plastic Surgeons at the Liposuction Center Philippines will recommend the type of tummy tuck that will achieve your desired outcome and create natural-appearing results with the least scarring possible.

What Is A Mini-Tummy Tuck Or Abdominoplasty?

A Mini Tummy-Tuck improves the lower belly with less extensive surgery.  Are you mainly bothered by a “pooch” or loose skin and stretch marks below the belly button? A mini-tummy tuck may be a good option for you. This technique involves a single incision made just above the pubic mound, through which your cosmetic surgeon will tighten loose muscles (flattening the “pooch”) and remove excess skin to restore a smooth, flat abdominal wall.

The resulting scar from a mini-tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a thin, horizontal line that is typically just a few inches long. Benefits of a mini-tummy tuck include a shorter, less involved procedure, a quicker recovery, and a flatter, slimmer lower abdomen that looks better in swimsuits and fitted clothing.

What Is A Classic or “Full” Tummy Tuck?

Are you bothered by roundness and/or excess skin folds above and below your belly button? A full tummy tuck, which addresses the full length of the abdominal wall, may yield the best results. 

A classic or full tummy tuck improves the upper & lower abdomen. The surgeon will cut your abdomen from hipbone to hipbone and then contour the skin, tissue, and muscle as needed. The surgery will involve moving your belly button, and you may need drainage tubes under your skin for a few days.

Through a horizontal or U-shaped incision, made above the pubic mound, your cosmetic surgeon will remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles. In some cases, a second incision is made around the navel to address excess skin above the belly button and achieve the most natural looking results.

The resulting scar from a full tummy tuck looks similar to that for a mini-tummy tuck, but will typically be longer, running from hip bone to hip bone. Even so, a full tummy tuck scar can usually be hidden beneath a swimsuit bottom. Benefits of a full tummy tuck include a much flatter, smoother abdomen, reduced appearance of stretch marks, and enhanced comfort in pants and skirts. You will also find that form-fitting dresses and swimsuits have a more flattering fit.

What Is An Extended Tummy Tuck?

Have you lost a lot of weight and now have excess, sagging skin hanging around the front half of your body? Or, have you noticed significant laxity in your abdominal muscles following multiple pregnancies? 

An extended tummy tuck may be the best option to address your concerns. An extended tummy tuck improves the upper & lower abdomen and flanks. Although it involves a longer incision, an extended tummy tuck removes excess, hanging skin from the front (upper and lower abdomen) and the flanks, as well as tightens the abdominal wall.

The resulting scar from an extended tummy tuck can often be hidden by clothing, including many swimsuits, but it may not be entirely covered for some patients. Even so, many patients consider some visible scarring a worthwhile price for a much improved body shape.

How Is A Tummy Tuck Or Abdominoplasty Done?

This surgery can take anywhere from one to five hours. You may need to stay overnight in the hospital, depending on your case.

You will get general anesthesia, which will put you to “sleep” during the operation.

During the procedure, the abdominal muscles are tightened and excess, sagging skin is eliminated, correcting a protruding belly and leaving the midsection flatter and better toned. Tummy tucks are popular procedure for men and women, particularly those whose bodies have undergone dramatic changes from weight loss or pregnancy.

What Are The Risks And Possible Complications Of A Tummy Tuck Or Abdominoplasty?

You will have pain and swelling in the days following surgery. Your doctor will prescribe pain medicine and tell you how to best handle the pain. You may be sore for several weeks or months.

You may also experience numbness, bruising, and tiredness during that time.

As with any surgery, there are risks. Though they’re rare, complications can include infection, bleeding under the skin flap, or blood clots. You may be more likely to have complications if you have poor circulation, diabetes, or heart, lung, or liver disease.

Your Post Tummy Tuck Surgery Recovery.

The majority of tummy tucks can be performed as outpatient procedures, and patients go home a few hours after surgery. However, your cosmetic surgeon may require an overnight hospital stay after a more extensive tummy tuck so you can be safely monitored during the initial hours of your recovery. Because a tummy tuck involves surgery on the abdominal muscles, recovery after a tummy tuck takes more time than that for other procedures.

Expect to be sore and somewhat uncomfortable for the first week or so and spend the first few days resting quietly at home, although you will be encouraged to get up and walk around the house to maintain healthy circulation. It is not uncommon for patients to have drains temporarily placed in the incisions to help remove fluid after surgery. If this is the case for you, your cosmetic surgeon at the The Liposuction Center Philippines will give you detailed instructions for keeping the area clean and well-maintained until their removal a few days following surgery.

The results of tummy tuck surgery become clearer after several weeks when the swelling subsides.  Most of the swelling settles after about 4 weeks, and the area where fat was removed should appear less bulky.  In some cases it may take as long as several months for the swelling subsides. 

Patients who change eating habits coupled with exercise to maintain their weigh usually get permanent long lasting results.  However, time generally cedes to increased weight gain and fat deposits tend to reappear.  

Diet and exercise can help you maintain the results.

Those who gain weight after the procedure may find that their fat distribution settles in a different area of liposuction. Those who previously had fat accumulating in their stomachs might find that their hips and buttocks become the new problem area.

Taking Care of Yourself After Tummy Tuck Surgery.

Whether you’re having a partial or complete tummy tuck, the area that’s operated on will be stitched and bandaged. It’s very important to follow all your surgeon’s instructions on how to care for the bandage in the days following surgery. The bandage used will be a firm, elastic band that promotes proper healing. Your surgeon will also instruct you on how to best position yourself while sitting or lying down to help ease pain.

You will have to severely limit strenuous activity for at least six weeks. You may need to take up to one month off work after the surgery to ensure proper recovery. Your doctor will advise you on what you need to do or not do.

Returning to Daily Life After Your Tummy Tuck Surgery.  Generally, most people love how they look after this procedure. That can take time, though. You may not feel like your normal self for months after the surgery.

When Can I Return to Work After Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Depending on how physically demanding your job is, you may be ready to return to work after 2 to 4 weeks. If you have a desk job, you should be able to go back to work on the early side of this time frame, but if your job involves lifting, straining or other strenuous activities, expect to take up to a month away from such tasks.

How To Keep Your Tummy Tuck Results Looking Their Best?

The improvements made during a tummy tuck are meant to last—abdominal muscles will remain firmer and tighter and the excess skin will not return. However, future pregnancies or weight gain can negatively affect your results, causing the muscles or skin to stretch back out and become lax after returning to your normal weight.
