Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty) – The Plastic Surgery Journey (2022)
Tummy Tuck also known as abdominoplasty is a restorative, cosmetic surgery.
During the procedure, excess skin and fat from your stomach are removed, and the connective tissues are tightened to improve the appearance of your belly. This helps to achieve a flatter and more toned look. You might undergo a tummy tuck if you have extra skin or fat around your belly button or a weak lower abdominal wall.
The procedure of abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is done under general anesthesia. There are two types:
Partial abdominoplasty
It involves:
- Making a cut (incision) across the lower abdomen
- Separating the skin from the abdominal wall below the belly button
- Removing the extra skin and fat
- Bringing the remaining skin together and securing it with stitches.
Full abdominoplasty
It involves:
- Making an incision right above the pubic area across the lower tummy from hip to hip.
- A second incision to remove the belly button from the tissue that surrounds it.
- Removing extra skin and fat, realigning the abdominal muscles, detaching the skin from the abdominal wall, creating a new hole for the belly button, and sewing it back in place.
- Bringing the remaining skin together and securing it with stitches
