Who Should Consider Get a Flatter Tummy with Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Surgery?

A flat and well-toned abdomen sometimes does not happen even with a diligent exercising schedule and exceptional diet control! If this is your case, then a tummy tuck is your option. To opt for circumferential abdominoplasty in UAE, you might have one or all of the below signs:

Large fat deposit on the abdomen
Saggy skin or abdominal bulging due to pregnancy, aging and massive weight loss
When you have weak abdominal muscles (because of multiple pregnancies)

Your Journey with CosmeSurge

Consultation For Tummy Tuck Treatment

The patient is encouraged to openly discuss his/her medical history with the doctor. Share their concerns, habits, and expectations. The doctor finalizes the best possible treatment according to the patient's lifestyle and current position. Before the tummy tuck surgery, the patient's lab tests may be required to know hemoglobin levels, etc. The doctor walks the patient through from the pre-operation to the post-recovery phase.

Procedure For Tummy Tuck Treatment

Tummy Tuck surgery lasts 2 - 4 hours and involves general or spinal anesthesia. The patient may be required to stay in the hospital for 1 - 2 nights. There are different tummy tuck techniques which include:

Standard/Full Tummy Tuck: It is the most common form of tummy tuck surgery. Surgeons opt for this procedure in cases of excessive weight or multiple pregnancies. In this procedure, the doctors remove the extra amount of skin from the upper abdomen. It involves an incision along the bikini line that extends to the hip around the belly button, removing the fat or sagging skin above the pubic hair up to the belly button. Then the remaining skin is pulled down over the stomach.

Mini Tummy Tuck: A mini tummy tuck surgery focuses on the lower abdomen, the area below the navel. The surgeon makes a single incision at the bikini line. The skin is stretched downward, excess fat is removed, loose muscles tightened, and the skin is readjusted. Women post-delivery make ideal candidates for a mini tummy tuck surgery in UAE.

Extended Tummy Tuck: An extended tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is for patients with more areas under consideration for fat removal. This surgery is chosen after a massive weight loss. The surgeon makes a single incision that will wrap around the abdomen to reach the hips. Such a large incision allows him to tighten the skin evenly down across the tummy. It can leave a larger scar than the other procedures that may be hard to hide under intimate clothing.

Post Surgery Recovery For Tummy Tuck Treatment

After the abdominoplasty, your incisions will be covered in bandages. The abdomen will be loosely wrapped in elastic bandages to minimize swelling. Small tubes might be placed in your abs to drain any excess blood or fluid. Some plastic surgeons may have you wear a compression sleeve for a few weeks to keep swelling down. Regular follow-up after the surgery is important to measure the progress.

After-Care Protocols For Tummy Tuck Treatment

For successful long-lasting results of the tummy tuck surgery, it is imperative to follow the below:

Avoid lifting heavy-weight items for 3-4 weeks
Avoid physical and athletic activities that might stretch the incisions for 4-8 weeks after surgery.
Take pain medication as needed and use topical or oral antibiotics. As directed to prevent infections.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, an irregular heartbeat or redness of the skin, or fever.
Must attend your follow-up appointments to track your progress

FAQS

Is tummy tuck surgery permanent?

Yes, tummy tuck surgeries or abdominoplasty have a lasting almost permanent result. However, the key is the patient’s watch over food and exercise. As the tummy tuck already takes out fat cells and smooths the skin. The flat abdomen looks perfect. But if calorie intake is unwatched, fat cells grow and again cause the body fat to grow

Who should not get a tummy tuck?

Individuals may not be allowed to undergo an abdominoplasty. There are medically backed reasons to rule them out, such as:

Patients with unrealistic weight loss expectations.
Patient planning a pregnancy post the surgery
People with serious conditions such as cardio diseases or diabetes
Heavy smokers
People with a BMI higher than 30
A person having a second abdominal surgery with major scar tissue

Which option is better tummy tuck or liposuction?

Both surgeries aim at reducing fat. However, liposuction is a milder procedure in terms of the recovery period.
As a patient, first of all, you have to trust your surgeon with what he recommends. Liposuction is mostly a mommy makeover. It enables people to shed fat faster and get back to normal life sooner. It does not tighten the skin.

However, on the other hand, abdominoplasty is a more detailed procedure. It has a longer healing time, with a scar that fades after a long time and in certain cases, does not fade out completely.
With few patients, doctors also perform both liposuction and abdominoplasty on patients based solely on their condition

Types of tummy tuck?

There are a variety of tummy tuck surgeries, and doctors perform only when they know the patient’s history, fat deposits in the body, and the candidate’s health. Doctors perform tummy tuck surgery in Dubai, once the candidate is found fit for surgery. Below are the surgery options evaluated by the surgeons:

Standard or full tummy tuck:
This is the most common type of tummy tuck best for mid-section tightening and fat loss.
In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision along the bikini line and removes the fat or sagging skin from the upper abdomen.

Mini tummy tuck:
For those struggling with belly paunch, this procedure is perfect. A smaller incision is made to reposition the lower stomach area. The upper abdomen is untouched while the lower paunch is easily fixed.

Extended tummy tuck:
Extended tummy tuck extends on a larger area and the surgeons work around the lower belly and across the hips. Vertical incisions might be made to remove excess fatty tissues.

Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck:
This procedure is aimed at removing excess skin from the abdominal area. In this procedure, fat removal and tightening occur with both vertical and horizontal incisions.

What are the benefits of a tummy tuck?

People considering a tummy tuck should know that apart from getting rid of fat cells there is more, such as:

The person has inflated confidence and self-esteem.
You get a firm, tight and flat abdomen.
A trim, pronounced waistline can be achieved.
As the skin tightens the stretch marks also fade and get removed in the process.
All body contours are strengthened.
Post surgery the patient gets a strong posture.
With the right diet and exercise the results can be permanent.
