What is an abdominoplasty?

Only after losing enough weight (if necessary) and/or deciding you don’t want to have any more children is an abdominoplasty appropriate. Depending on how much loose skin, extra fat, stretchmarks, scars, and abdominal muscle need to be removed, several abdominoplasties can be performed. The average break from job or school is two weeks. Within the first few days, patients should begin to move around gently; however, they shouldn’t drive for two weeks, and certain movements like push-ups and leaping should be avoided for eight weeks following surgery.

What distinguishes a belly tuck from a lipo?

Compared to liposuction, tummy tucks require more extensive procedures. A stomach tuck reconstructs the muscles of the abdomen and eliminates extra skin, whereas lipo merely removes extra fat.

How long does a tummy tuck recovery take?

six weeks following a tummy tuck

The body needs six weeks to recover from cosmetic surgery. Although swelling may persist after many weeks, the majority of patients recover completely in three months or less. Exercise and returning to regular activities are both safe at this time.

 

How long after a belly tuck do drains remain in?

Early drain removal can lead to fluid accumulation, seroma, the necessity for fluid aspiration, and/or further operation. In general, individuals who need belly tuck drains may usually have them taken out within 1 to 3 weeks.

PROCEDURE

There are two methods for doing an abdominoplasty, or stomach tuck. During your appointment, you and your plastic surgeon will determine which of the two options is best. In addition, liposuction can be performed during this procedure to get rid of any extra fat on the hips or “love handles.” Your plastic surgeon will create a horizontal incision across your abdomen close to the pubic area while you are under general anesthesia. Depending on the type of belly tuck recommended, the length of this incision will vary. The skin and fat are separated from the abdominal muscles by a second incision made around the navel. After that, the extra skin and fat are eliminated. To get a smaller waist, the abdominal muscles are drawn inside. After that, the skin is pulled up over the newly formed stomach, and a new belly button is made. After using liposuction to remove any extra fat cells, the incision is stitched up below the bikini line.
