Tummy Tuck - Abdominoplasty

Having a flat well-toned abdomen is a common dream of both men and women. How your abdomen looks is a very important feature that can influence how others will perceive your attractiveness and age (youthfulness). A protruding, a loose or saggy stomach can result from a variety of factors like aging, heredity, pregnancy, significant weight changes. These factors should be taken into account when taking the decision as to when to perform a Tummy Tuck. A Tummy Tuck is performed to remove this excess fat and skin. It can also tighten weakened or separated muscles creating a smoother and firmer look.

To help you make this decision, that will change both your physical and mental perception of yourself, we share the following facts and beliefs on Tummy Tuck.

Beliefs

Recovery after a Tummy Tuck is long and difficult.

Tummy Tuck is one of the most complex surgeries performed in aesthetic practice, even though most practicians do it under general anesthesia, in our clinic we perform it with local anesthesia and sedation which simplifies and shortens recovery. Results will then be visible as soon as your first bandages change. After one (1) to two ( 2) weeks you will be able to return to your normal activities. It will take about a month before you can go back to your recreational activities, sports and being in the sun.

After my Tummy Tuck I can go on with my life as before.

Going back to your old life style will increase the likelihood of returning rapidly to your previous look. It is very important you realize that this new slimmer profile obtained with your tummy tuck must be the culmination of changes in lifestyle, diet and exercise routines. It is these changes that will guarantee the durability of the effect obtained by this procedure.

The scar after the Tommy Tuck will limit the bathing suit I can wear.

In the majority of cases the scar is located in the pubic area and will be covered by your underwear or your bathing suit. The size of the incision will depend on the amount of extra skin, the body structure and how distended the abdominal muscles are. It is important that you discuss these details prior to surgery with your doctor.

A Tummy Tuck will take care of all my stretch marks, saggy and loose skin.

A Tummy Tuck indeed will eliminate most of the abdominal stretch marks, saggy and loose skin. However, in some cases not all stretch marks can be eliminated due to their location. It is highly recommended to clarify all these details with your surgeon, so the results will match your expectations.
