How is Tummy Tuck Procedure carried out?

Firstly, the liposuction of abdominal skin is carried out. Then the incision is marked over the loose or sagging skin. The incision is made within the lower transverse crease of the abdomen /bikini line and the excess skin is then removed. The umbilicus is also circumscribed. Then the abdominal muscles are tightened in the midline, starting first from the upper abdomen then proceeding to the lowermost part. If abnormal protrusions of fat or intraabdominal contents are found, then they are repaired during this placation procedure. The separation of muscles in the midline can also be repaired during the procedure. The umbilicus is then fixed and brought through good skin and then stitched in the midline. The Abdominoplasty incision is then closed ensuring that the scar is not highly visible. Before the incision is closed, a small tube drain is placed beneath the skin and this is removed after a few days. Then the stitches are bandaged.

Tummy Tuck After Care

The stitches are kept dressed for more than a week. Doctors advise the patient to resume movement and walk to lower down the chances of seroma formation. A patient can feel mild discomfort in the lower abdomen for a few weeks but slowly the pain decreases. They are then advised to wear a pressure garment for almost six weeks for faster recovery.
