The Truth About Getting A Tummy Tuck
Are you sick and tired of your flabby belly? A tummy tuck might
just be the solution to your problem figure.
Tummy tuck operations have been increasing in popularity. They
have shown the highest rate of increase over the past 3 years
(over 60 %) compared to other plastic surgery procedures. Women
and men who have loose abdominal skin and fat that is
concentrated in the abdomen can benefit from tummy tuck. A tummy
tuck can achieve quite dramatic effects. Patients love their
slimmer, trimmer figures and flatter abdomens.
A tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure, so expect to be out
of action for a while.A tummy tuck also known as an
abdominoplasty medically falls under the category of major
invasive surgery. You need to consider before you have the
operation whether or not you are willing to take the risk. A
tummy tuck involves surgically removing excess skin and fat from
the middle and lower part of the abdomen. The remaining skin is
then pulled tight, and sometimes tightening the abdominal
muscles.The intention of a tummy tuck is to remove and then
tighten loose flesh that may be the result of rapid weight loss
or pregnancy.It is not intended to be the primary means for
removing fat.If you are not tolerant to pain then you may not be
happy to hear that the pain and soreness from a tummy tuck can
last as long as a year after the operation.
A tummy tuck can be performed at the same time as other
cosmetic surgery procedures or other general surgeries, such as
hysterectomy.A tummy tuck can be performed alone, but often it
is done in conjunction with liposuction. Liposuction is used
primarily to remove the excess fat deposits. The tummy tuck then
tightens and tones the remaining skin in that area.When you are
dieting, a tummy tuck, unlike liposuction, should be performed
when you reach your ideal or desired weight.
Many
people initially are not aware that a tummy tuck generally
leaves a significant scar.A tummy tuck scar can run horizontally
across the entire width of your body from hip to hip, depending
on how much skin you lose. As well, depending on the procedure,
a tummy tuck scar can run vertically anywhere from your pelvic
area to the chest area, although this is not common. A tummy
tuck scar is permanent. The severity of the scars can depend on
how much skin was removed, how well your body heals, how well
your body scars, the skill of the individual surgeon, and what
technique was used.
Before consulting with tummy tuck surgeons, you should be
absolutely clear about what you want to get out of the surgery.
Talk honestly with the tummy tuck MD's and voice your goals. He
or she will be able to tell you if it's a realistic goal and if
you need to shift your expectations. Tummy tuck surgeons can
also advise you as to what other alternatives are available for
you to achieve your goals.
What should you look for in tummy tuck surgeons? The first
thing to make sure of is that the surgeon is board certified by
the American Board of Plastic Surgery. To be certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery, the surgeon must meet
stringent requirements. First, they must have graduated from an
accredited medical school. They must hold a license to practice
medicine in their state of residence. They must successfully
complete a minimum of three years of training in general surgery
in a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council
for Graduate Medical Education.
