A flat stomach can be achieved by maintaining a healthy weight and doing targeted exercises. However, factors like childbirth, gynecological surgeries, or age-related weigt gain cause the abdomen to sag. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, is a procedure that removes excess fat and skin while tightening the abdominal wall for a firmer, more toned appearance.
Abdominoplasty ( tummy tuck ) is performed under general anesthesia. In most cases, liposuction is first performed on the upper and middle abdomen, as well as the hips, to enhance contouring. A crescent-shaped incision is then made along the bikini line, allowing the abdominal skin to be lifted up to the rib cage. The abdominal muscles are tightened with non-dissolvable sutures, and any existing hernias are corrected. Excess skin and tissue are then removed, and the navel is repositioned to align with the bodys natural proportions.
POST-OPERATIVE PERIOD
The patient usually returns to work after a few weeks. He is recommended not to exercise for 2 months.
Abdominal wall plastic effect is long-term, lasting for a decade, but also partly depends on the patients’ physical activity and diet habits.
OPERATIONAL RISK
Abdominal wall plastics as well as any intervention may have some reaction to the anaesthesia, temporary swelling, a feeling of tension, post-operative pain and bruising. Very rarely, bleeding, wound infection, scar hypertrophy may occur.
