Abdominomplasty, frequently known as a ‘tummy tuck’ is a major surgical procedure involving the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdominal area with the aim of tightening the muscles of the intestinal wall. It can significantly reduce the protrusion of the abdomen.

Who needs an abdominoplasty?

Men and girls, who are otherwise in good shape, but have a protruding abdomen due to fat deposit or loose skin that has not improved even with exercise, might be applicants for abdominoplasty. It is very popular among women, who, due to multiple pregnancies have lost the tightness of their tummies outside the point at which diet control and exercise can restore it and plastic surgery after weight loss.

Risks of Abdominoplasty

when performed by a qualified surgeon, trained for the job, Abdominoplasty is sort of successful. However, as with all surgical procedures, this one too, has its own risks and complications which must be obviously accepted before going in for surgery.

Blood clots and infection, though rare, can happen after the operation. This, though treatable, will extend the patient’s stay at the hospice. Occasionally , there’s poor healing, leading to outstanding scars. In such cases, a second operation may be needed. Smoking can also increase complications.

Planning and preparation for surgery

First, your surgeon will make an evaluation of the extent of the fat deposits in your intestinal region. He will also consider your skin tone. He’ll endorse either partial abdominoplasty or complete abdominoplasty, relying on the area that is covered in fat deposits. If they are limited to the area below the navel, he may recommend and partial abdominoplasty. Or he may counsel a mix of abdominoplasty ( partial or complete ) together with liposuction, for a better body contour.

You will be given specific rules with respect to diet, drinking, smoking and medications before the surgery. If you develop an infection or cold, your surgery will likely be delayed. Complete abdominoplasty often takes about 2-5 hours while partial abdominoplasty may take 1-2 hours.

In a total abdominoplasty a long incision will be made from one hipbone to the other, just above the pubic area. Another incision will also be made to free the navel area from the abdominal tissue. Partial abdominoplasty requires a much shorter incision, and the second incision may not be required at all.

Then the surgeon will lift your skin to reveal the vertical muscles in the abdomen. These are pulled together and stitched in the new position. The additional skin is then removed. Your navel is then stitched into the new hole that has been cut for it. Finally, the skin is stitched up totally and dressings applied.

Recovery Depending on your physical condition at the point of surgery, you can either be back at work in as little as 2 weeks, or up to a month if you were not in such great shape physically. Exercise helps to reduce swelling and induces faster recovery.
