How is Tummy Tuck Surgery Performed? Before, During and After
Preparation for a Tummy Tuck Surgery
Before the tummy tuck surgery, patients undergo a comprehensive consultation to discuss their goals, medical history, and suitability for the procedure. Pre-operative tests and evaluations are conducted, and the target areas for fat removal and skin tightening are identified.
During Abdominoplasty Procedure
- Incision: An incision is made along the lower abdomen, typically below the bikini line, to access the underlying tissues.
- Tissue Adjustment: The underlying muscles may be tightened, and excess fat and skin are removed.
- Skin Redraping: The remaining skin is redraped over the abdomen for a smoother contour.
- Closure: The incisions are carefully closed, and surgical dressings are applied.
Duration
The duration of the surgery varies depending on the extent of correction required but generally ranges from 2-5 hours.
After Tummy Tuck
Following the procedure, patients receive detailed post-operative instructions, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities during the initial recovery period. Full recovery typically takes several weeks, with follow-up appointments scheduled to monitor progress. The procedure is recommended to achieve a flatter, firmer abdomen, especially suitable for individuals in their late 30s, early 40s, or beyond.
