Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck abdominoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery these days
It is often combined with liposuction or it is single
Based on the patient’s medical evaluation, especially the total body mass But there are some medical matters that must be verified before any surgical procedure in general, the most important of which is the mass of blood or hemoglobin

Let’s start with the definition

Tummy tuck or tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery that depends on removing excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdominal area in order to tighten the muscles and fascia of the abdominal wall and remove skin sagging. This procedure is usually performed by patients with a flabby or flabby abdomen after childbirth or with significant weight loss Abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to make the abdomen thinner and more firm. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the muscle and fascia of the abdominal wall.

In general, a full tummy tucks follow the following steps:

• Slit the abdomen from hip to hip over the pubic area.
• Another incision is made around the navel to separate it from the surrounding skin.
• The skin is separated from the abdominal wall, and the muscles and peritoneum are shown to be tightened using the surgical sutures.
• Liposuction smooths the transition areas when sculpting the abdomen.
• A compression bandage or bandage is placed and excess fluid is sucked out from the area.

Abdominoplasty has more than one type according to the area of the area ready for the blind and for longitudinal and transverse lift

The previous criteria remain the same only with the first step that varies according to the doctor’s report
Either from below the bikini line above the pubis
Or from hip to hip
Or the entire body of the body backwards

Simple tips after the operation

1. You should be able to do your usual activities 48 hours after surgery.
2. You cannot do strenuous exercise or exertion that may affect the wound.
3. Make sure to exercise to maintain the results of the operation, but after six weeks of liposuction, so that the body does not regain the weight it lost after liposuction.
4. Adherence to wearing compression garments and using the medicines and creams prescribed by the doctor that are provided in the hospital after the operation.

How long is recovery from abdominoplasty?

You’ll wear an abdominal binder for about six weeks. This helps to avoid fluid buildup and helps to support your abdomen.
While the recovery period is usually shorter for a minitummy tuck, you’ll still need to avoid strenuous activity for at least six weeks.
This includes any vigorous exercise or heavy lifting.

How many sizes do you lose with a tummy tuck?

How many sizes you go down depends on where you started and how your body changes after the procedure. Most women lose between 2 and 3 pants sizes after a tuck, but there are patients who lose even more. If you had a lot of loose skin before the procedure, for example, you could go down 4 more pants sizes.

How much skin is removed in a tummy tuck?

There are generally no limits to how much is removed in a tummy tuck (we have removed over 70lbs from a tummy in single operation), unlike liposuction in which safe volume limits have been described. It is important that enough tissue is left behind to allow for a
safe closure with a good cosmetic result.

Does fat come back after tummy tuck?

Where do patients gain weight after a tummy tuck? During body contouring procedures like a tummy tuck, fat cells are eliminated from the body and cannot return. Because of this, patients may gain weight in other places like the buttocks, legs, arms, and breasts.
