Every
year thousands of men and women achieve great success
with abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck." A flatter,
trimmer abdomen can make you more comfortable with yourself
and confident with others. Individuals in relatively
good shape with some excess fat or weak abdominal muscles
often are the best candidates for this procedure.

Multiple
pregnancies can stretch a woman's skin and stomach muscles.
Older individuals can benefit due to the loss of skin
elasticity that occurs with aging. A tummy tuck may
be the procedure of choice for these conditions, which
often are difficult to control through diet and exercise.
Depending on the amount of fat or skin to be removed,
a tummy tuck can often be performed simultaneously with
liposuction surgery.

The
Tummy Tuck Procedure
The
procedure generally is performed in two to five hours
in a hospital or outpatient surgical facility. Most
patients are given general anesthesia although some
physicians prefer intravenous sedation. Typically, during
the tummy tuck surgery, the cosmetic surgeon separates
the skin from the abdominal wall, tightens the abdominal
muscles by pulling them closer together and sutures
them into a new position. The skin is stretched down
and additional skin may be removed.

After
Tummy Tuck Surgery
Pain
medication is taken for the first few days. Some patients
return home the day of surgery, while others may stay
overnight. Most patients miss five to seven days of
work. After your tummy tuck surgery we suggest you allow
six weeks before resuming exercise, heavy lifting or
strenuous activates. Scarring will fade considerably
over time. Short of considerable weight gain or pregnancy,
results from a tummy tuck can last indefinitely.
Of
course, as with any major medical procedure, there are
certain risks associated with a tummy tuck, which should
be discussed with a qualified physician.
