TUMMY TUCK

Who’s A Good Candidate For Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) with Liposculpture?

Among the main reasons for going through such procedure are:

• Repair the abdomen after pregnancy, since during it, the muscles are separated.
• Recover the strength and tone of the abdomen after a substantial weight loss.
• Patients with fat accumulation or excess skin that cannot improve their appearance despite diets or physical exercise.

Part of the criteria that the plastic surgeon evaluates to determine if a patient is a right candidate, the following stand out:

• Being of average weight, but with excess skin and weak muscles.
• Enjoy good general health.
• Have realistic expectations about your image.
• Preferably, do not smoke or consume significant amounts of alcohol.
• Assume the commitment to carry out a recovery process in a responsible way.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) with Liposculpture Procedure Steps

During the surgery procedure, the surgeon makes a hip-to-hip incision, just above the pubis, and a second incision around the belly button, to work on the upper abdomen.

Subsequently, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and excess skin and fat are removed with liposculpture, thus achieving a flat, firm, and narrower abdomen.

• Approximate surgery duration: From 2 to 4 hours.
• Sedation method: General anesthesia. The patient remains asleep and without perceiving any pain or discomfort.

What to Expect After An Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) with Liposculpture?

After the operation, it is common to experience the following symptoms:

• Pain and tiredness. It is normal to feel sore for the first few days. The areas where liposculpture was performed will be highly inflamed and bruised. The surgeon will prescribe pain relievers, antibiotics, and other medications to control discomfort.
• Secretions. Some fluid may leak from the incisions made. This drainage is normal and decreases in the days following the operation.

Postoperative Care

• Avoid doing substantial activities for the next four weeks (no impact sports).
• The use of abdominal compression garments is significant. This will help minimize inflammation and bruising, as well as correct skin retraction.
• Avoid stretching or making sudden movements.
• Sleep on your back and with your knees up.

What Are The Benefits Of Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) with Liposculpture?

In addition to creating a healthy toned abdomen and a contoured and fat-free figure, this type of surgery also offers other benefits:

• Urinary incontinence reduction. The procedure can help women who have already given birth to manage this problem.
• Small waist. The abdominoplasty, combined with liposculpture, will give you a narrower and slimmer waist.
• Posture improvement. The abdominoplasty helps to improve the posture of the abdomen and to alleviate back pain.
• Reduction of abdominal stretch marks. With the elimination of the excess skin, a good part of the stretch marks that the patient may have are also eliminated.

Liposculpture abdominoplasty will make you feel renewed, with more confidence in yourself and with new spirits to show off your abdomen in bikinis and in a wide range of clothing that will fit you wonderfully.
