Tummy Tuck

In this surgical procedure the loose skin is removed and the muscles of the abdomen are tightened with the help of sutures. This procedure is carried out under general anesthesia. You will need to be fasting for eight hours and will need to get an anesthetic clearance prior to the procedure. Marking and measurements will be done before the procedure.After the necessary preoperative steps, the incision will be placed according to the marking and usually the incision is from one side of the hip bone to the other.In a full abdominoplasty an additional incision is paced around the navel. The skin envelope is lifted and the loose muscles are tightened. Liposuction is usually done prior to the lifting of the skin envelope and also after the tightening of the muscles. The skin is then stretched and the excess skin is removed. The navel then is brought out through a new position on the skin although the level of the navel remains the same. The skin is stitched with sutures which are generally the absorbable type. The umbilicus is stitched with non-absorbable sutures which are removed around the 12th day after the surgery. There is usually a drain or two that are placed under the skin to drain out the excess fluid. Depending on the amount of drainage they will be removed once the drainage is in the acceptable range which is usually one or two days. In combination with abdominoplasty if one opts for a back liposuction, the resulting contours are better if proper patient selection is done.

Complications and Risks

The potential complications after a tummy tuck are fortunately uncommon and the satisfaction rate is good. Most candidates achieve their goal of having a leaner and flatter abdomen.However, it is necessary to point out that all surgical procedures have some risks and although uncommon they are listed below:

  • Adverse reaction to anesthesia
  • Hematoma or seroma (an accumulation of blood or fluid under the skin
  • that may require removal)
  • Infection and bleeding
  • Changes in skin sensation
  • Scarring
