Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty
is a frequently performed cosmetic procedure which is meant to improve the
looks or appearance of your abdominal region.
The primary goal of this
procedure is to remove excess skin or fat from the abdominal
region and then reconnect the tissues with sutures to get a more toned and
flat look.


The requirement for
abdominoplasty:
The tummy tuck surgery is for
someone who has folds of fat or skin on their abdominal region that results in
an unsightly appearance and causes body image issues. These problems may be
caused by multiple factors, some of which are mentioned below:
- Significant
weight loss: Men or women
who have lost a lot of weight tend to have excess loose skin on their
bodies as a result of the skin being stretched over a long period of time.
- Pregnancy: Many women who have gone through multiple
pregnancies also have similar problems as the skin in their abdominal
region tends to stretch over multiple times which may result in the skin
becoming flabby.
- You have a weak
lower abdominal wall: Some patients tend to generally have a weak
lower abdominal wall which over the years tends to protrude and hang. This
results in a misshapen body which they want to correct for body image
issues.
- To
correct scarring from C section: Many
women who give birth via C-section tend to have a scar on their body and
some abdominal contouring can change the shape and size of the scar, which
in turn not only tightens the tummy but also hides the scars.
Considerations before
abdominoplasty:
Abdominoplasty isn't recommended if you fall under any
of the following categories:
- Still have to lose weight: If you have to
lose a lot of weight, then it is advised that you wait till your goal
weight is reached and only then consider this procedure. Abdominoplasty
isn't meant to reduce weight, but to take out excess skin and flab that
remains after weight loss
- Plan on becoming pregnant again: If you are
planning to become pregnant again, then the muscles and tissues in your
abdomen might loosen and cause a flabby belly again.
- If you have heart disease or other
conditions: If you have heart related conditions or are diabetic,
then abdominoplasty won't be considered as it might put you at high risk
of complications after surgery.
