What Is A Tummy Tuck?

• A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a
  cosmetic surgery procedure designed to reduce the
  size of the stomach, (tummy), and make it more
  firm.
• This is achieved by removing the excess fat and
  skin from the middle and lower areas of the
  abdomen. There are different types of
  abdominoplasty that can be performed depending on
  the desired results and goals of the patient.
• These include
• Partial (mini) abdominoplasty
• Complete (full) abdominoplasty
• Extended abdominoplasty

6
Why Choose A Tummy Tuck?

• There are many reasons why people opt to have a
  tummy tuck. Sometimes it can be just one reason,
  and sometimes multiple. If a person has recently
  lost a lot of weight through diet and exercise,
  it can often leave loose skin on or around the
  abdomen. This can leave people feeling unhappy
  and self conscious, especially when it comes to
  wearing particular items of clothing, such as
  bikini or sports bras.
• Some of the reasons why patients opt for
  abdominoplasty include
• To remove loose skin after weight loss /
  childbirth
• To tighten muscles / skin after pregnancy
• To correct abdominal scarring from injury,
  surgery or illness
• To remove stretch marks
• To flatten the abdomen
• To remove stubborn fat / skin that cannot be
  removed through diet or exercise
• To correct weak muscles and improve posture

About Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty procedures are common and vary
from patient to patient depending on your body
size and shape. If you are in the middle of an
exercise programme or diet regime, it is advised
that you wait until you have settled on your
desired weight. This is because fluctuations in
weight can have an effect on the extent of your
tummy tuck procedure and the results it can
achieve. During abdominoplasty, your surgeon
will make an incision in the abdomen, usually
from one hip to another along the bikini line. A
second incision is made around the navel (belly
button).
8
About Abdominoplasty
Your surgeon will then tighten the muscles and
tissue of your abdomen and remove any excess skin
and fat. The skin that is left behind is then
moved in to the correction position and a hole is
made for the navel. For patients who are
undergoing a partial abdominoplasty as opposed to
a complete, only one incision is made on the
abdomen. The location of the incision is in the
lower abdomen above the pubic region. It is not
uncommon for patients to undergo liposuction
procedures at the same time as a partial tummy
tuck, to help shape and contour the remaining
muscles / tissue. An extended tummy tuck is a
complete tummy tuck in combination with a thigh
lift, which helps smoothing and contouring of the
flank and upper thigh.

Advantages Of A Tummy Tuck

• A tummy tuck can help boost self confidence and
  eliminate the issues causing you to be self
  conscious, such as stretch marks, loose / baggy
  skin, sagging muscles / fat. There are many
  advantages to having a tummy tuck either on its
  own as a single procedure or in combination with
  other procedures.
• These include
• Flattening the abdomen
• Removing excess skin and fat
• Tightening abdominal muscles
• Removing large, deep or visible stretch
  marksSometimes a tummy tuck is performed in
  combination with another procedure to achieve
  desired results. common procedures include
• Breast surgery, including uplift, reduction,
  augmentation
• Liposuction and body contouring

Recovery Aftercare

• Following a tummy tuck, you will be given a
  tailored aftercare plan that you must follow in
  order to get the most out of your surgery and
  assist in the healing process.
• The aftercare plan will depend on the type of
  tummy tuck you have any the extent of your
  surgery.
• Patients usually stay in hospital after their
  surgery for up to two to four days.
• Painkillers will be provided following your tummy
  tuck to help ease symptoms of pain and discomfort
  and to help aid recovery. It is important that
  you rest and not do too much activity too soon.
  Doing so can cause swelling and slow down your
  recovery.
• Patients should expect a recovery period of up to
  six weeks, observing the following
  recommendations
• Rest in bed at home for the first 1-3 days
• Get up and walk around as soon as it is
  comfortable to do so
• Don't be scared to get out of bed and go to the
  toilet

11
Recovery Aftercare

• Avoid strenuous activity and stretching
• Take up to 4 weeks off work depending on your
  job role
• Gradually increase activity levels from light
  walking around the home to going up and down the
  stairs
• Do not go walking outside of the house for
  longer than 10 minutes in the first few
  days/weeks
• Avoid sports and heavy lifting for up to 2
  months
• Paracetamol and ibuprofen are fine to take to
  ease pain
• Wear support clothing if advised by your
  consultant

12
Complications Side Effects

• All medical procedures come with complications
  and side effects and a tummy tuck is no
  different.
• Because every patient is different, side effects
  may be more common to some people more than
  others. Common side effects of a tummy tuck
  include
• Numb feeling in the abdomen
• Skin sensitivity
• Swelling
• Scars
• Bruising
• Pain
• These symptoms should ease and improve within the
  first few days of recovery. Some longer term
  swelling may be present in the following 1-3
  weeks, but should ease completely within 2-3
  months.
