Abdominoplasty Surgery - The Tummy Tuck

by Lesley Reynolds Beauty Consultant

Tummy Tuck is a procedure that is used to reshape and firm up the abdominal area. Known as abdominoplasty surgery, tummy tuck involves removing undesirable fat and skin from the lower abdominal area in order to tighten up the abdominal walls. A tummy tuck is usually performed on individuals who have abdominal fat that do not appear to rely to diet and exercise.

Full Tummy Tuck Procedure is done by performing an incision across the lower abdomen - from hip to the other. The incision is formed like a 'V' with a flat bottom that cuts across the top of the pubic area. Then, another incision is made surrounding the navel to free the skin. The skin is then peeled away from the abdominal area to reveal the fat and muscles below. Once the undesirable fat is removed and the muscle tightened, excess skin is trimmed off the remaining skin is stitched in to place. A new hole is cut to form the navel.

It is best to have thorough medical checkupsif you do plan to go for a Tummy Tuck Surgery in London. Seeing as how tummy tuck is a major surgery, it is best to know your current state of health to minimize complications during and after surgery. The doctor in charge can also advise if a tummy tuck is the best way to go to firm up your lower abdomen.

If your abdominal fat issue is not bad, then a Mini Tummy Tuck might be the way to go. For the mini tummy tuck, only a small, straight incision is performed above the pubic area. Excess fat is then removed and the wound would be stitched closed. Some doctors would also perform liposuction together with a Mini Tummy Tuck for better results. There are even doctors that would perform a Mini Tummy Tuck and liposuction immediately after performing a caesarean infant delivery.

As with any surgery, there will be some recovery time that would need to be observed. A mini tummy tuck won't take long to recover compared to a full tummy tuck. After a full tummy tuck, you lower abdominal area would most likely be swollen. The doctor would place a tube running out of your abdomen temporarily to drain off excess fluids accumulated duringsurgery. Getting up out of bed would be challenging for a few days, as would be going to the toilet. Avoid lying for long periods of time in bed on a regular basis as this might slow your healing. When you feel that you can move about more freely this helps to get the blood circulation going.

Expect the surgery scars to last from 9 months to a year after a Full Tummy Tuck in London. Even be aware that these scars might never disappear although surgeons will often make sure that the scars are basically hidden under a bathing suit. In the event you need to, you could go for a cosmetic surgery procedure to remove the scars from your tummy tuck.
