Patient Review : Tummy Tuck- Rosemar Holm

Removing saggy skin and fat

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck (Abdominal cosmetic) surgery, also called abdominoplasty, is a type of body-shaping surgery for women that can make the abdomen appear firmer, smoother, and more muscular by removing saggy skin and fat. Abdominal muscles are also strengthened and repaired in this method.

This surgery does not solve the problem of obesity; it only removes excess fat and corrects the body shape. Women decide to undergo abdominoplasty for various reasons, some of which may be the weakening of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy or excessive weight loss.

TurkCure offers you its tummy tuck package for a permanent solution to this problem.

What Is A Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a relatively major surgery in which excess skin and fat are removed and is suitable for women who have given birth several times and have lost a lot of weight.

The goal of abdominoplasty is to have a flatter stomach. In this operation, the plastic surgeon removes the hard fat and loose and extra skin resistant to exercise and diet.

Abdominoplasty surgery can:

  • After losing weight, remove loose skin.
  • Remove excess skin or fat after pregnancy.
  • Tighten weak stomach muscles.
  • Repair the separated abdominal muscles.
  • Remove stretch marks in the abdominal area.

A surgeon may also perform liposuction and abdominoplasty.

It is because liposuction can help shape the body more accurately.Ā 
Some patients also ask their surgeon to perform breast surgery (lift, augmentation, reduction) during the procedure.

Who Is The Best Candidate For Tummy Tuck?

It is essential to know that abdominoplasty surgery is not a weight loss procedure; therefore, if someone is looking to lose a lot of weight, this is not a suitable method for them.

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck procedure are those who:

  • Are not satisfied with the appearance of their stomach
  • Are at a stable weight and in good health
  • Want to remove excess skin or fat from their abdomen
  • Have sagging or weak abdominal muscles that need to be tightened.
  • Are not currently pregnant or do not intend to become pregnant in the future.

In some cases, tummy tuck surgery is not recommended, including

  • Women who are planning to get pregnant shortly
  • Women who have a severe chronic illness, such as heart disease or uncontrolled diabetes
  • Women who have had a prior surgery that has left significant excess skin
  • Non-smoker women benefit more from this procedure. Because smoking is highly harmful to abdominoplasty.

More details about the procedure

Tummy Tuck Procedure

In general, this surgery is performed in two ways, complete or mini, both of which usually require total anesthesia of the patient.

Mini abdominoplasty includes:

  1. Making a large incision across the lower abdomen
  2. Separating the skin from the abdominal wall below the navel
  3. Removal of excess fat
  4. Cut off excess skin
  5. Pulling and bringing the skin on both sides of the abdomen and suturing it.

Complete abdominoplasty includes:Ā 

  1. Making a large incision from the left side to the rightĀ 
  2. Making another incision to remove the navel from the surrounding tissue
  3. Separating the skin from the abdominal wall
  4. Aligning and straightening the abdominal muscles
  5. Removing excess fat and skin
  6. Drilling a new hole for the navel and putting it in place
  7. Pulling and bringing the remaining skin and suturing it
  8. The surgeon may insert a drain to help reduce swelling and bruising.

The surgery may take between 2 to 5 hours. Most patients must stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 nights after surgery.

Tummy Tuck Recovery

  • The recovery period is different for each patient. It may take up to two weeks for the patients to return to their routines. In comparison, the same recovery period for others might be 3 to 4 weeks.
  • After abdominal surgery, the incisions and navel are covered with surgical dressings.
  • Ā Small tubes are sometimes put at the incision site to remove excess blood or fluid.
  • The patients may need some help to start walking on the first day after tummy tuck surgery. Walking decreases the chance of blood clots.
  • Patients will be given painkillers so they do not feel too much pain. Note that swelling in the surgical area is normal and will decrease after a few days.
  • Ā Drains may remain in incisions for several days after surgery, so the doctor will show the patients how to care for drains.
  • The use of antibiotics reduces the probability of infection. The doctor may also advise using blood thinners shortly after the surgery.
  • The doctor advises the patient to use compression garments after abdominoplasty and even months later.

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Liposuction of lipo surgeries for women is performed on other parts of the body as well:Ā 

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Your surgeon can use the extra fat removed in any of the above procedures to do a BBL or Brazilian butt lift or a combination of cosmetic lipo surgeries like what is done during a mommy makeover.Ā

FAQ

No Abdominoplasty surgery is for all people; even men can have it.

Abdominoplasty surgery is not a method for severe weight loss and is suitable for people with fat in the abdomen and sides.

This surgery does not prevent pregnancy, but it is recommended to perform abdominoplasty surgery after the last pregnancy.Ā  Because pregnancy after abdominoplasty surgery causes the skin to loosen again, so it is not recommended.

The patient is put under general anesthesia to perform this surgery.Ā 

The abdominoplasty surgeon determines the duration of the operation, but it generally depends on the type of surgery and the amount of excess fat or skin that must be removed.
