ABDOMINOPLASTY

WHAT IS
ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a transformative surgical procedure that addresses the aesthetic concerns of both men and women seeking improvements in the appearance of their abdomen. Beyond creating a flat and well-shaped belly, this procedure can significantly boost self-confidence.

It’s a surgical intervention targeting excess fat, loose skin, and weakened abdominal muscles.

Unlike liposuction, which primarily focuses on fat removal, abdominoplasty offers a holistic approach, including the removal of fat and skin while also restoring muscle strength. Typically, the issues leading to the need for abdominoplasty stem from weight fluctuations and pregnancy, which contribute to abdominal laxity.

ADVANTAGES OF ABDOMINOPLASTY

Combination with liposuction for impressive body contouring

Strengthening and tightening of abdominal muscles and the abdominal wall

Possibility of fat transfer for procedures such as breast augmentation, Brazilian Butt Lift, facial improvements, hand rejuvenation, and other targeted areas

Utilization of modern techniques that eliminate the need for drains and tubes

Reduction of tissue trauma to minimize post-operative discomfort

Elimination of scars, stretch marks, and deformities

Immediate patient mobilization leading to rapid recovery

Opportunity to enhance the inherent abdominal muscle definition, often referred to as a “six-pack”

Potential correction of mild umbilical hernia if present

IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate is someone who has achieved their desired weight but is dissatisfied with the shape of their abdomen. This procedure is suitable for individuals with excess fat or skin laxity in the abdominal area.

Often, candidates include mothers post-pregnancy, individuals who have lost significant weight, or those who have undergone liposuction. The surgeon examines each case individually to tailor the procedure to the patient’s specific needs and goals.

THE PROCEDURE

CONSULTATION

THE SURGERY

RECOVERY

During our abdominoplasty consultation, we will discuss your surgical goals, record your medical history, and talk about previous surgeries.
Additionally, we will assess your general health condition, take photographs for your medical file, and analyze together any risks or complications that may arise. Remember that it’s very important to understand all aspects of the procedure before proceeding with any process.

For a full abdominoplasty, you will need to stay at least 24 hours in the hospital, while for a partial abdominoplasty, due to the small incision, you can return to your duties immediately.
Furthermore, general anesthesia or epidural is applied in full abdominoplasty, while in partial abdominoplasty, both local and general anesthesia can be applied.

During recovery, dressings will be applied to your incisions, and a compression garment may be placed to minimize swelling and support your abdomen as it heals after surgery.
Additionally, you will be given instructions for caring for the surgical site, as well as medications to be taken for healing and reducing the chance of infection.

FAQs

What is abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and tightens the abdominal area by removing excess skin and fat and strengthening the abdominal muscles.

When are the results visible?

The results of abdominoplasty are visible almost immediately after surgery, but the final results take time to fully develop. Initially, there will be swelling and bruising, which usually gradually decrease within a few weeks. Final results become more visible within 6-12 months as the body continues to heal and the results stabilize. It’s important to follow the post-operative instructions of the specialized surgeon and their surgical team for optimal recovery and results.

What is the recovery time?

For one month after surgery, it’s necessary to wear a corset that will exert some pressure on the abdominal wall. You can move around at home from the next day, but returning to work usually happens after about 4 days if it’s not particularly strenuous work.

Is hospital stay necessary?

After surgery, the patient is required to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. Then the drains are removed, and the patient returns home wearing a special compression abdominal belt.

What are the types of abdominoplasty?

There are various types, including full abdominoplasty, mini abdominoplasty, and high-definition abdominoplasty. Each type targets different problems and degrees of severity.
