Until very recently, we would admire models, movie stars, and celebrities for their “perfect 10” figures. Little did the outside world know about Liposuction, Tummy Tuck Surgery, and Abdominoplasty procedures used to hide imperfections. Ladies would dream of having flat abdomens, especially after giving birth. Young girls would dream of making it to the Miss World contests or landing Mr. Right purely based on their looks and figures. These dreams are now a reality - a very affordable reality! Star Hospitals are adept at performing these surgeries in their surgical department. The department has every facility available, including emergency services, should the need arise.
1. What Are The Types of Tummy Tucks?
The Tummy Tuck, like Abdominoplasty or Liposuction procedures, involves a hidden cut – around the bikini line- pulling out the loose fat content and then repositioning the belly button and contouring the curves. The procedure is ideal for removing extra fat, especially in postpartum women.
There are 4 types of Tummy Tuck operations performed to give a flat stomach contour.
Standard/Complete: This procedure removes skin below the navel and belly button.
Under Belly: This procedure removes loose flab under the belly button and is often used by women getting ready for marriage.
Extended Abdominoplasty: This procedure is for massive fat content where the belly button may also need repositioning
2. Is There a Difference Between Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Surgeries?
The difference is straightforward: Liposuction procedures are performed on people with tight and good skin quality and subcutaneous fat, whereas people with loose skin or damaged skin with stretch marks, extra skin, and parietal fat above the belly button, need Tummy Tuck procedures. In either procedure, Liposuction is scarless whereas the Tummy Tuck scar is hidden below the bikini line.
3.What is The Tummy Tuck Recovery Time?
Tummy Tuck surgery is like all other surgeries. Typically, it takes 2 weeks to recover, during which mainly painkillers are given to relieve pain.
Expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first week. Pain Management and rest are crucial.
In 2–4 Weeks a gradual return to light activities is possible.
After 6–8 Weeks the person can resume more strenuous activities, with the Surgeon's approval.
4. What Are Do’s Ascribed By The Treating Doctor?
The individual overall condition will determine whether rest is advised. Lifting heavy weights is prohibited, and strenuous bending or exercises should be banned for 6 weeks.
The doctor will recommend eating a balanced, low-fat/calorie diet, as well as light exercise or yoga.
5. What Are The Don’ts Ascribed By The Treating Doctor?
Smokers and individuals with certain medical conditions may face high risks during surgery or recovery. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is recommended to determine the eligibility for surgery.
The Tummy Tuck procedure involves incisions, so scarring is to be expected. Surgeons usually place incisions low on the abdomen, where scars can be hidden under clothing or swimwear. Over time, scars normally fade. Treatments like silicone sheets, creams, or laser therapy can help with the disappearance.
Caution - It is recommended not to plan future pregnancies, as this can reverse the results.
