Abdominoplasty—Tummy Tuck |
|
| |
Abdominoplasty, known
more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical
procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the
middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of
the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically
reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But
bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which,
depending on the extent of the original problem and
the surgery required to correct it, can extend from
hip to hip.
If you're considering abdominoplasty, this will give
you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can
help, how it's performed, and what results you can
expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a
lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon.
Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't
understand.
Many women seek out abdominoplasty after having lost
weight, after having had children or been pregnant and
even due to abdominal laxity due to aging. It is a
very common, albeit serious, surgery and one should be
aware of all that is involved in this surgery before
undergoing such a procedure. Perhaps abdominal
liposuction is all you really need. There are several
surgical techniques as it is not a one size fits all
type of operation.
We are dedicated to helping you obtain a more taut and
slimmer abdomen and will support you through the
entire process. By providing you with the information
you need to make an informed decision and the surgeons
with whom to carry them out - we make it easier for
you to regain a flatter tummy.
This popular procedure has been thoroughly researched
with countless hours of dedication to give you just
what you need to know and presented in an
easy-to-read, friendly environment. Every risk is
thoroughly explained to you so you can rest, assured,
that you are fully aware and in the know before you
commit.
Elective surgery doesn't have to be a frightening and
mysterious experience. We make it possible for you to
fully understand what it is that you need to know, do
and expect from your abdominoplasty procedure -
without confusing you in the process. Within these
pages you will find out just why so many people,
worldwide, happily undergo this popular procedure
every year.
An abdominoplasty normally takes from 2 to 4 hours to
perform. If you are having additional procedures, this
time may be increased. However, "Mini Tummy Tucks"
take less time than "full" techniques. You will more
than likely be marked with a surgical marker
(resembling a Magic Marker type pen) before you are
sedated, while standing up. This will help the surgeon
see how the skin and fat hangs naturally and will
determine the incision areas and the reference points. |

If, for example, your
fat deposits are limited to the area below the navel,
you may require a less complex procedure called a
partial abdominoplasty, also known as a mini-tummy
tuck, which is usually performed on an outpatient
basis. This procedure usually leaves the belly button
in its current place and removes the fat below the
navel, tightening the muscles but only from the navel
to the pubis. Liposuction can be performed for
additional small cost at the same time to create a
nice contour. Although this is up to the individual
surgeon. This frequently is performed with liposuction
to obtain the best results.

In the full tummy tuck
procedure, we create a new belly button and tighten
the muscles from the lower chest area to the pubis.
The scar is usually from hip to hip. Liposuction can
be performed for additional small cost at the same
time to create a nice contour. Although this is up to
the individual surgeon. This frequently is performed
with liposuction to obtain the best results.

An extended tummy tuck
is usually for obese patients that have a great deal
of excess fat and have overhanging skin that extends
to the back. In order to leave a nice contour, our
scar needs to be extended beyond the hip area and
extend more towards the back. Again in this case we
tighten the muscle and create a new belly button.
Liposuction can be performed for additional small cost
at the same time to create a nice contour. Although
this is up to the individual surgeon. This frequently
is performed with liposuction to obtain the best
results.

A navel may leave an unattractive scar if the umbilical cord was cut badly by the doctor at birth. Or it may be removed for personal aesthetic reasons. People may also not want to deal with navel lint, the smell, and having to clean it.
The popularity of cosmetic umbilicoplasty, otherwise known as belly button surgery has skyrocketed in the past few years. Belly button surgery can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck or other cosmetic procedure, and is sometimes done in conjunction with hernia repair.
Belly Button Sculpture is included in the price of Tummy Tuck Abdominoplasty when both are done at the same time.
