Abdominoplasty - Tummy tuck

Abdominoplasty is a tummy tuck surgery , which is a surgical intervention aimed at restoring aesthetically correct and attractive proportions of the abdomen. The essence of the intervention is to eliminate excess skin tissue, stretched muscle tissue, and excision of the fat layer.

Abdominoplasty will help to make the stomach flat, and remove excess skin and fat.

Often a tummy tuck is relevant after childbirth, especially multiple, for those who have gone through significant weight loss. It is recommended after liposuction and other surgical interventions, including cesarean section if a significant amount of fat tissue has been removed when a lot of excess skin appears on the abdomen.

One of the advantages of the procedure is the strengthening of the anterior abdominal wall by tightening the connective tissue. This is relevant for women with diastasis after pregnancy. Thanks to this, the stomach becomes not only more attractive but also more toned.

Information about the operation

What is abdominoplasty

Aesthetic plastic surgery of the anterior abdominal wall is called abdominoplasty.

When it is applicable

Most people want the skin on the front of the abdomen to be firm and tight. A healthy diet and regular abdominal muscle exercises are sometimes not enough to get the look you want. If a person is worried about this problem, abdominoplasty may be the right choice.

How surgery is performed

During the surgery, the layer of adipose tissue in the skin and subcutaneous tissue is reduced by cutting it out in the middle and lower abdomen. If necessary, the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall are strengthened, and the hernia and diastasis are eliminated.

The most common causes of abdominal wall deformation:

  • significant weight gain,
  • pregnancy and existing cellulite (stretch marks),
  • rapid weight loss,
  • weakness of the anterior abdominal wall muscles, mm.rectus abdominis diastase.

Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss surgery, it aims to create a beautifully shaped abdominal wall, restoring the body’s natural silhouette.

Two types of abdominoplasty

Depending on the scope of the surgery, there are 2 types of manipulation:

  • “Mini” or partial abdominoplasty. During the procedure, the skin and subcutaneous layer in the lower abdomen are removed (under the navel, without moving it). At the same time, muscle correction and hernia elimination are possible in this area.
  • “Classical” or complete abdominoplasty. During the procedure, the skin and subcutaneous layer are removed from the middle and lower abdomen, in the direction from the rib cage to the level of the pubic hair. The navel is being moved to a new location. All necessary abdominal muscle/ hernia corrective procedures are performed at the same time.

The plan and scope of the surgery are discussed together in the pre-surgery consultations. Surgery is often combined with liposuction. Sometimes additional manipulations are required.

Duration of surgery

Depends on the expected scope of the surgery, on average 2-4 hours.

Anesthesia

General.

Treatment

The length of stay in the hospital depends on the scope of the surgery

Recovery

The period depends on the scope, discomfort and pain are felt after the surgery. These symptoms will be more pronounced with concomitant muscle or hernia correction, but may be treated with non-specific anti-inflammatory drugs. A special post-surgery compression belt for up to 4 weeks must be used. Exercise should be allowed after 6 weeks or later. The scars shrink and flatten in 6 to 18 months.

Results

The effect is permanent. In the long run, a balanced diet and physical activity should be followed.
