Tummy Tuck

About The Procedure

Tummy tuck surgery aims to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles to create a smoother and firmer abdomen. The procedure typically includes the following steps:

a) Anesthesia: Tummy tuck surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
b) Incision Placement: Your surgeon will make an incision across the lower abdomen, typically from hip to hip, just above the pubic area. The length and shape of the incision may vary depending on the extent of correction needed.
c) Tissue and Fat Removal: The surgeon will carefully remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area. In some cases, liposuction may be used to further contour the waistline and remove excess fat deposits.
d) Muscle Repair: If necessary, the underlying abdominal muscles will be tightened and sutured together to create a firmer abdominal wall and improve waistline definition.
e) Skin Redraping: The remaining skin is redraped over the newly contoured abdominal area, and any excess skin is trimmed away. The surgeon will create a new opening for the navel, which is repositioned to a natural-looking position.
f) Incision Closure: The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, and dressings or a compression garment may be applied to support the healing process.

Your surgeon will discuss the specific details of the procedure, incision placement, and the expected outcome during your consultation.
