Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the look and contour of the abdomen. Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes extra skin and fat from the abdomen. The fascia, or connective tissue in the belly, is tightened using stitches during this procedure. The remaining skin tissue is relocated to give the illusion of being thinner. Abdominoplasty is a procedure that removes extra fat and skin from the belly button and lower abdomen.

For a variety of causes, the skin loses its flexibility. Extreme weight loss, pregnancy, abdominal surgery (such as cesarean birth), age, and genetic susceptibility are just a few examples. An incision is made between the belly button and the groin region in a standard tummy tuck operation to remove extra fat and skin tissue. Sutures are used to seal the incision. This incision is done in the bikini line, which is very common in women. When seen from the outside, no traces are visible.

General anesthesia is used during abdominoplasty. Slight swelling around the surgical site is usual. When a drain is used, it is removed 1-2 days following the procedure. Patients are advised to wear a supportive corset for roughly 6 weeks.

Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that may be done on its own, although it's most often used in the context of maternity aesthetics. Although an abdominoplasty may result in a flat and contoured abdomen, patients must pay attention to their lifestyle in order to maintain the results in the post-operative period.
