Abdominoplasty, or as it’s better known, a ‘tummy tuck’, is a surgical procedure that results in a smoother and firmer stomach. It’s particularly beneficial to patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with loose skin.
This is a well-practiced surgical procedure designed to reshape the abdomen area. It usually involves removing fat, excess skin and stretch marks to tighten the appearance of the stomach. The underlying tendons and muscles can also be repaired during this procedure to show a firmer, tighter stomach.
There are two types of abdominoplasty, a partial (mini) tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck, and you can discuss which one is right for you during your free surgical consultation.
During your tummy tuck surgery, your stomach is completely reshaped and your overall silhouette is improved. The procedure can be used to remove loose and sagging skin as a result of significant weight loss.
The surgery may involve repairing and retightening weak stomach muscles that have separated during weight gain. The results will be a flatter, tighter stomach overall, which allows you to wear fitted clothing more confidently. Many people say that having abdominoplasty surgery has increased their overall self-esteem.
If you’re thinking about having a tummy tuck, it’s important to have a full understanding of the risks and complications that may arise. While our surgeons have extensive expertise and years of experience in carrying out these procedures, all types of surgery carry a level of risk.
For a tummy tuck, you will be left with a scar running across your lower abdomen and, if you require a full abdominoplasty, a scar around your belly button. Scarring will be red and raised post-surgery but can be expected to start fading after around six weeks. After the procedure, you may have the sensation that your tummy is being pulled when you stand up, but this will improve after time. Pain and bruising are to be expected after the surgery, but there is also a risk of bleeding, numbness and infection.
An abdominoplasty can be the right option for some people, but it is not a substitute for diet and exercise.
The procedure is best to be performed on patients who are at a healthy, manageable weight, so that it is easier for them to maintain the results achieved after surgery.
