Are you thinking of getting a Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty surgery)?

June 30, 2009 - PRLog -- If you are one of the men and women who have been thinking of getting a Tummy Tuck surgery done, you must get your facts right about the procedure. Though no one can replace an expert surgeon’s opinion about your particular case, knowing a few things definitely help you during your consultation with the surgeon.


•   Abdominoplasty is a major surgical procedure which flattens your abdomen by removing extra fat and skin and tightening abdomen muscles. Abdominoplasty restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer
•   The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours.
•   Hospitalization of 3-4 days is required and total recovery takes about 2 weeks.
•   The reason of a drooping or protruding abdomen is mostly a big change of abdomen’s weight or volume.
•   In women it is mostly after pregnancy or weight reduction. For men that were obese at one point in their lives and they still have excess skin in abdominal area after weight reduction.

When is Liposuction sufficient

•   Liposuction is sufficient when the skin is in good shape with no scars and when there is not much excess skin and muscle diastasis. Liposuction is more often recommended, mainly to younger people with more elastic and adjustable skin.

Good candidate for Abdominoplasty Surgery
If you have:
•   Flabby, overhanging tummy or excess or loose sagging abdominal skin
•   Are close to your ideal body weight (within 30%)
•   Weakened abdominal muscles from pregnancy or aging
•   Stretch marks after pregnancy or old surgical scars
•   Wants to remove specific areas of loose skin or fat that is diet- and exercise-resistant
•   Has good skin tone and elasticity
•   Have realistic expectations and are emotionally stable
