Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck
A flat abdomen is desired by many women especially after giving birth
or due to obesity. Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is the surgical procedure
to make the abdomen firmer.
The Operation includes:
- Removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen
and the love handles.
- Removal of stretch marks caused by repetitive pregnancies or obesity
especially those located below the navel.
- Tightening of the abdominal muscles and fascia enhancing body contour
making it firmer and flatter in addition to correcting any existing hernia.
The operation is a 1-2 hour procedure which can be performed without general anesthesia.
Horizontal incision is done within or just above the pubic area. The incision is totally concealed
wearing under garments. The patient wears a corset day and night for a period of 2 weeks. Two hours
after the operation the patient is able to move and walk which will lead to a quick recovery.
Men as well as women can benefit from tummy tuck especially weight loss (post gastric banding,
sleeve and gastric bypass surgery) to get rid of all the extra skin.
