There are moments in your life when you are seriously considering getting a tummy tuck abdominoplasty surgery. In most cases we are talking about mothers that have just given birth. Nobody wants stretch marks and fat that you can not get rid of on your abdomen. Tummy tucks are an option but you do need to consult with a doctor that has enough experience in performing such operations.
In most cases the tummy tuck abdominoplasty is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. There is also the possibility to go for sedative local anesthetic but you might be faced with a high degree of discomfort when opting for local anesthesia. The actual surgery will last 2 to 5 hours, depending on the individual case treated. Just like the majority of cosmetic surgeries, tummy tucks are highly personal and the degree of difficulty associated will vary from one individual to the other.
The start of the tummy tuck abdominoplasty is a long incision that is done on your abdomen from one hip bone to the other. The actual shape of the cut is similar to a smile. There is also another incision that is done round your belly button so that it can be freed from abdominal tissue. The next step is a separation of the skin from your abdominal wall. You will find that the vertical abdominal muscles (also known as rectus muscles) are left exposed. The problem is that past pregnancies might have left them stretched apart. The abdomen muscles are stitched into the new position and the result is having them tightened. You will find that the visible effect is a reduced waistline. The surgeon will reposition and tighten the muscles and will remove excess skin. After all is done the cuts are sutured and the operation will be complete.
One fact that few people are aware of is that the preparation needed for tummy tuck abdominoplasty is highly important. The first step that needs to be performed is actually having a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon that is certified and has the proper experience in this kind of procedure. Only this person can let you know if you are actually a candidate for abdominoplasty. The reason why this has to be done is because there are a lot of factors to look at. The surgeon will analyze your medical history and all the medications you are on. If you have allergies things change accordingly and only after that the actual physical exam is done. The condition of the abdominal muscles and the tone of the skin have to be taken into account and you will probably be taking before photos. Remember that there are some instructions that you have to respect before you actually get through with the operation. After the tummy tuck abdominoplasty is over you will need to take care of your body and respect an extra set of instructions handed by the surgeon. Make sure that you also ask about the possible risks of the operation. As with any surgery, there are risks and you do need to be aware of them so that you can make the right decision of whether or not to go through with the operation if you are a good candidate. Keep in mind that the doctor might also tell you that you are not a good candidate for tummy tuck abdominoplasty. In this case you will probably be faced with another procedure that will fix your problems.
As you can see, there are many Ifs involved with tummy tuck abdominoplasty. That is exactly why there is a need to have a direct and close relationship with your surgeon.
