If you are one of the men and women who have been thinking of getting a Tummy Tuck surgery done, you must get your facts right about the procedure. Though no one can replace an expert surgeon’s opinion about your particular case, knowing a few things definitely help you during your consultation with the surgeon.
- Abdominoplasty is a major surgical procedure which flattens your abdomen by removing extra fat and skin and tightening abdomen muscles. Abdominoplasty restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer
- The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours.
- Hospitalization of 3-4 days is required and total recovery takes about 2 weeks.
- The reason of a drooping or protruding abdomen is mostly a big change of abdomen’s weight or volume.
- In women it is mostly after pregnancy or weight reduction. For men that were obese at one point in their lives and they still have excess skin in abdominal area after weight reduction.
When is Liposuction sufficient
- Liposuction is sufficient when the skin is in good shape with no scars and when there is not much excess skin and muscle diastasis. Liposuction is more often recommended, mainly to younger people with more elastic and adjustable skin.
