1. Tummy Tuck- Abdominoplasty Treatment London
Abdominoplasty Also Know As Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty also know widely as tummy tucks a procedure of cosmetic surgery
to improve the appearance of your abdomen (stomach). It often involves removing
fat, removing excess skin and tightening of the abdominal muscles
Will an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) be best for me?
In most cases the skin of the abdomen does not shrink back after losing a lot of
weight or after pregnancy. A person will most likely benefit from an abdominoplasty
if you are self-conscious about how you feel about what your abdomen looks like.
Abdominoplasty is not always appropriate for people who are overweight or as an
attempt just to lose weight.
Your surgeon in your assessment will conduct a detailed assessment before making
the decision on whether surgery is suitable for you.
What is the procedure of a tummy tuck?
Tummy Tuck is performed under a general anaesthetic and takes an average time of
four hours.
The chosen surgeon may use several techniques:
Full abdominoplasty – this suitable for people with a lot of access skin. The surgeon
will make a curved cut from one side of the hip to the other. The surgeon will
remove any excess fat and excess skin. The surgeon will then cut under the skin
above your umbilicus (belly button), moving it downwards and tightening it.
Sometimes it is needed to reconstruct your umbilicus and tighten the muscles of the
abdominal wall.
Mini abdominoplasty - is more suitable if you have a little excess skin around your
stomach. The surgeon will only make a small cut just above the pubic area and will
be able to remove the excess skin.

2. Endoscopic abdominoplasty - is a suitable treatment if you only need to have the
muscles of your abdominal wall tightened. The surgeon will use special surgical
instruments to tighten the muscles only making small cuts.
After abdominoplasty
Depending on the procedure performed will depend on the length of your hospital
stay. With a full abdominoplasty after two to three days you should be able to go
home. From your abdomen you may have dressings and drains (plastic tubes) from
each side. These are to drains the area and are usually removed before you leave
hospital.
After a day of being home most people are mobile and are able to return to there
normal activities within six weeks. But it also depends on how people heal as
everyone is different. Also it is always best to discuss with your surgeon before you
return to work.
Over the next six months after the tummy tuck procedure the results improve. If you
keep to a healthy weight and exercise regularly, this will also help with the
improvements.
Making sure that you always do some research on the respected clinic to perform
