The abdomen will be left sagging and with a large
number of grooves as a result of weight
fluctuations and pregnancy. To correct this
through cosmetic surgery. The tummy tuck is
recommended.
3
What Is Tummy Tuck?
  • This is a surgery to get rid of any excess skin
    and fat buildup in the abdomen which could arise
    as a result of age, obesity and pregnancy.
  • Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a surgical
    operation which aims to flatten the abdomen in
    order to give it a better appearance by removing
    excess skin, getting rid of stretch marks and
    reducing the thickness of subcutaneous fat around
    the abdomen.

Who Is A Suitable Candidate For Abdominoplasty?
  • Abdominoplasty is suitable for women after
    pregnancy when their skin has several grooves and
    is very flaccid. It is usually recommended that
    the operation be performed after the woman is no
    longer having babies as the muscles and skin will
    be relaxed at this point.before the operation
    counselling will be done to ensure that the
    patient is emotionally stable as this can be a
    problem after the surgical operation.

5
When Is Abdominoplasty Required?
  • If you are not satisfied with your abdomen's
    shape then you are a prime candidate for the
    operation.
  • This is usually when the abdomen has several
    grooves and there is sagging of the skin. A woman
    who is no longer bearing children may want to
    have an abdominoplasty. A new pregnancy will
    cause the abdominal wall and skin to relax and
    that will lead to the development of stretch
    marks. A mini-abdominoplasty is an option for a
    woman who has stopped having children and wants
    to have a flatter abdomen.

6
How Is Tummy Tuck Performed?
  • The specific needs of the patient is thoroughly
    considered and the surgery is done on an
    individual basis and in accordance with the
    specific requirements and needs of the patient.
  • The operation is done under local anesthesia and
    it is usually advisable to begin the surgery with
    liposuction of the abdomen in order to reduce and
    subcutaneous fat.

  • A transverse incision is made in the lower part
    of the abdomen to ensure that the incision scar
    is located at the bikini line. Tissues will be
    dissected right above the upper abdominal
    muscles, the waist line is improved and the
    muscles are then carried to the center. The skin
    is then stretch out and any excesses are
    resected.
  • It is possible that the navel could be
    repositioned by having a hole made and
    repositioning the navel in the new hole. Drains
    are inserted and the wounds are sealed.

8
What Is The Recovery Period?
  • After the surgery you can actually start walking.
    It is advisable that you walk for at least 60
    seconds and for 3 to 4 times daily.
  • You may have difficulty walking upright but it is
    normal after surgery for the first four days, but
    on the fifth day you should try walking upright.
    The drains are removed between the 5th and 7th
    day and postoperative girdle is recommended for a
    period of six weeks.
