Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Even individuals with a healthy body weight can experience abdominal challenges like protruding tummies or loose, sagging skin. Factors such as heredity, pregnancy, and significant weight fluctuations contribute to these concerns. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening underlying muscles, resulting in a flatter, more refined physique.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

Abdominoplasty is typically performed for men and women with:

• Excess abdominal skin
• Loose abdominal musculature
• Stubborn fatty deposits

Surgical Approach

Aesthetic Surgical Images performs tummy tuck surgery under general anesthesia. The primary incision runs horizontally across the lower abdomen, strategically placed to be concealed by swimwear and undergarments. This approach allows surgeons to repair weakened muscles and remove excess skin for a smoother abdominal contour.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a full tummy tuck typically spans 6-8 weeks. Patients can expect:

• Initial 10-14 days of home rest
• Gradual return to daily activities
• Compression garment wear for 4-6 weeks
• Restricted heavy exercise for 6-8 weeks

Procedure Options

Patients may choose between a mini-tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck. The primary differences include the extent of muscle tightening and belly button repositioning. A consultation with our surgeons will help determine the most appropriate approach for individual aesthetic goals.
