What
does tummy tuck surgery do?
It helps to remove the excess skin and fat deposits that appear as a consequence of pregnancies, old age and obesity, when the whole abdominal area is affected. When the affected area is smaller, located at the lower section of the abdomen below the navel, it is better to perform a mini-abdominoplasty. It removes stretch marks or scars that may be in the area. If necessary, the abdominal muscles may be tightened by means of a vertical fold in the middle, this will make your abdomen look firmer and your waist narrower. At the same time, it may also help to solve preexisting problems, such as hernias or eventrations.

How
is tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) performed?
The surgeon makes a long incision
across the abdomen right above the pubic area. Usually, the
incision has a curvature that is similar to the outline of
a bikini so that the future scar will be easier to conceal
under your underwear. In most cases it is necessary to make
a circular incision around the navel so that it will remain
in its original place, in spite of the shifting of the rest
of the abdominal skin.
Then, the surgeon separates the skin from the abdominal wall
all the way up to the ribs, exposing the abdominal muscles.
These muscles are tightened by bringing them close together
and joined in the middle vertical line; this will make your
abdominal muscles firmer and your waist narrower. The skin
that was separated is stretched towards the pubis, the excess
skin is removed and the navel is placed in its new position.
Finally, the surgeon makes the sutures, and applies a bandage
and a temporary drainage tube to eliminate the excess fluids.

What
does tummy tuck surgery NOT do?
It is not indicated for treating obesity.
If you suffer from obesity, we recommend that you visit the section
of our site devoted to bariatric
surgery.
It is not used for removing fat deposits when they are small and
the skin has a good elasticity. If this is your case, and diets
and physical exercise do not produce the desired results, liposculpture
is the right thing for you.
