Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

This procedure aims to address skin laxity, fat collection, fascia laxity, and the presence of umbilical and ventral hernias.

Procedure

Removal of excess skin, tightening the muscle-fascia layer, and removal of excess fat are fundamental for a good result.

Results

Although immediate improvement is evident, the final result takes few months to be seen.

Indications

Redundancy and hernia of the abdominal wall.

Complications

Vary as it relates to healing, infection, bleeding, hernia recurrence, and very rarely involve the circulatory and breathing systems.

Recovery

A hospital stay of 1 to 3 nights is often needed. Wearing a garment for 1 month minimize pain and seroma formation.

Anesthesia

General or local with sedation.

How long will the scar be?

The scar length depends on the amount of excess skin. With mini-abdominoplasty, the scar is very short.

When can I resume my exercises?

Walking is encouraged early on. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be delayed beyond 3 months.

How will my scar look like?

Scar treatment is integral to overall care. Taping, laser sessions, and injections are some of the modalities used. People who have keloid forming skin type may require scar revision at a later date.
