Why a tummy tuck is so great

A tummy tuck is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in the world, second only to breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. Such an operation, also known as a tummy tuck, is a procedure that drains excess fat from the abdomen, thus eliminating the annoying and unattractive “muffins”.

After your liposuction procedure, the excess skin is carefully and meticulously removed before the surgeon proceeds to tighten the loose abdominal muscle and fascia using sutures. The result: a slimmer, slimmer, fitter and more attractive new person!

Who benefits most from abdominoplasty?

Most patients seeking the operation are mothers who have recently given birth, the obese, and those who have just lost a large amount of weight. Others are those with loose skin and stretch marks.

Before approaching a surgeon about the possibility of performing the procedure, make sure they are accredited by an officially recognized body, such as the Australian Medical Council and the Australian Health Professionals Regulatory Agency (AHPRA).

The different types of tummy tucks

Depending on your surgeon’s advice and the extent to which you want the surgery to be carried out, you may undergo different levels of the operation.

A full operation involves significant fat and skin removal, as well as muscle tightening, which is usually done if you have a very loose abdomen.

The first step is to create an incision just above the pelvis and below the navel from hip to hip. The surgeon carefully frees the umbilicus stem from the surrounding muscle and tissue and then removes the skin to reveal the underlying muscle.

After tightening the muscles by applying sutures, the doctor drains the fat around the abdominal muscles to achieve a more contoured body. After completing the surgery and stitching the incisions, the surgeon may prescribe the use of a compression garment around the abdomen until the muscles are healed enough to work independently.

Although similar to the full procedure, other, more minor procedures called “mini tummy tucks” are performed on a smaller scale. These options do not involve as much muscle stretching or liposuction.

Benefits of the operation

Tummy tucks transform corpulent patients with persistent body issues into attractive, healthy images of fitness itself.

A slimmer aesthetic physique

It is a highly sought after procedure for obese patients who cannot exercise or diet. The immediate and drastic change that an operation achieves is enough to inspire you to promise to keep that new body afterwards.

Improved Body Posture

Tightening of the fascia and abdominal muscles is not just a wasted procedure. In fact, it results in tangible anatomical improvements. It corrects the posture defects that affect a large part of the population, which translates into a rounded back to compensate for the weakness of the central muscles. The improved posture also resolves her back pain as a side effect.

What about the disadvantages?

The tummy tuck procedure can leave some scars on the abdomen. If you look at it critically, this is just a small price to pay for the body that will be bestowed upon you.
