5. What Is A Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure
designed to reduce the size of the stomach, (tummy), and makeit more firm.
This is achieved by removing the excess fat and skin from the middle and lower
areas of the abdomen. There aredifferent types of abdominoplasty that can be
performed depending on the desired results and goals of the patient.
These include:
Partial (mini) abdominoplasty
Complete (full) abdominoplasty
Extended abdominoplasty
6. Why Choose A Tummy Tuck?
There aremany reasons why people opt to have a tummy tuck. Sometimes it can be just one reason, and sometimes multiple. If a person has recently lost a lot of
weight through diet and exercise, it can often leave loose skin on or around the abdomen. This can leave people feeling unhappy and self conscious, especially
when it comes to wearing particular items of clothing, such as bikini or sports bras.
Some of the reasons why patients opt for abdominoplasty include:
To remove loose skin after weight loss / childbirth
To tighten muscles / skin after pregnancy
To correct abdominal scarring from injury, surgery or illness
To remove stretch marks
To flatten the abdomen
To remove stubborn fat / skin that cannot be removed through diet or exercise
To correct weakmuscles and improve posture
7. About Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty procedures arecommon and vary from patient to patient depending on your body size
and shape.
If you are in the middle of an exercise programme or diet regime, it is advised that you waituntil you
have settled on your desired weight. This is because fluctuations in weight can have an effect on the
extent of your tummy tuck procedure and the results it can achieve.
During abdominoplasty, your surgeon will make an incision in the abdomen, usually from one hip to
another along the bikini line. A second incision is made around the navel (belly button).
8. About Abdominoplasty
Your surgeon will then tighten the muscles and tissue of your abdomen and remove any excess skin and fat. The skin that is left behind is then moved in to the
correction position and a hole is madefor the navel.
For patients who are undergoing a partial abdominoplasty asopposed to a complete, only one incision is madeon the abdomen. The location of the incision is in
the lower abdomen above the pubic region.
It is not uncommon for patients to undergo liposuction procedures at the same time as a partial tummy tuck, to help shape and contour the remaining muscles /
tissue.
An extended tummy tuck is a complete tummy tuck in combination with a thigh lift, which helps smoothing and contouring of the flank and upper thigh.
9. Advantages Of A Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck can help boost self confidence and eliminate the issues causing you to be self conscious, such as stretch marks, loose / baggyskin, sagging muscles
/ fat. There aremany advantages to having a tummy tuck either on its own as a single procedure or in combination with other procedures.
These include:
Flattening the abdomen
