Your Journey to a Toned Tummy Begins at Plaza Clinics
Procedure Summary
Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the contours of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat. Additionally, it involves tightening the abdominal muscles to achieve a firmer, more toned appearance. Tummy Tuck is an effective solution for individuals seeking comprehensive improvement in the abdominal area.
Tummy Tuck surgery is an excellent option for individuals who:
- Have excess skin and fat in the abdominal area due to pregnancy or significant weight loss.
- Experience muscle laxity or separation in the abdominal region.
- Desire a firmer, toned midsection that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.
Benefits of tummy tuck:
- Improved Abdominal Contours: Tummy Tuck surgery results in a flatter, more sculpted abdomen by eliminating excess skin and fat.
- Muscle Tightening: The procedure addresses muscle laxity or separation, creating a tighter and more defined midsection.
- Enhanced Waistline Definition: Tummy Tuck enhances the natural curves of the waist, contributing to a more aesthetically pleasing silhouette.
Procedure for tummy tuck
It starts with an in-depth discussion of the patient’s medical history, aesthetic goals, and examination of the abdominal area. Tummy Tuck is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
Incisions are strategically placed, usually within the bikini line, to minimize visible scarring. The surgeon then carefully removes excess skin and fat, sculpting the abdomen to achieve the desired contours. The underlying abdominal muscles are then tightened and repaired, addressing any laxity or separation if any. The remaining skin is redraped and sutured in place, creating a smoother and more toned appearance.
In some cases, the navel may be repositioned to ensure natural-looking results. Incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings are applied to support the healing.
Recovery and approximate cost
- Swelling and bruising are common initially but gradually subside over the following weeks.
- Patients receive detailed instructions on postoperative care, including pain management and wound care.
- Strenuous activities are limited during the initial recovery period to facilitate proper healing.
- Wearing compression garments helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process.
