A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles for a more toned and contoured appearance. During a tummy tuck procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the lower abdomen, usually above the pubic area, and remove excess skin and fat. The abdominal muscles will then be tightened and sutured together to create a more defined waistline. The remaining skin will be stretched down and sutured closed to create a smoother, flatter abdominal contour.
Tummy tucks are usually performed under general anesthesia and can take 2-5 hours to complete, depending on the extent of the procedure. Patients can usually return home on the same day, although they will need to take some time off from work and other activities to allow for proper healing. After a tummy tuck, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several days to a few weeks. They should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting during this time and should wear compression garments to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
