Procedure Benefits

• Tightened and Firmed Abdomen: A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles, giving you a firmer, flatter midsection.

• Improved Posture and Core Strength: By repairing weakened or separated abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck can help improve posture and core strength, which can reduce back pain and discomfort.

• Removal of Loose, Sagging Skin: After significant weight loss or pregnancy, excess skin around the abdomen can be difficult to address. A tummy tuck eliminates this skin for a smoother, more contoured look.

‍• Long-Lasting Results: With a healthy lifestyle, the results of a tummy tuck can be permanent, giving you a slim, contoured figure for years to come.

‍• Boosted Confidence: Many patients feel more confident and comfortable in their clothing after a tummy tuck, enjoying a more toned and refined figure.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

‍

At N1 Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of tummy tuck options to suit your specific needs and aesthetic goals. Whether you need a full tummy tuck or a more targeted mini tummy tuck, we’ll customize your procedure to achieve the best results.

• Full Tummy Tuck (Traditional Abdominoplasty): A full tummy tuck is ideal for patients with significant skin laxity, weakened abdominal muscles, and excess fat in both the upper and lower abdomen. This procedure involves making an incision from hip to hip, removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the abdominal muscles to create a flat, toned stomach.

• Mini Tummy Tuck: A mini tummy tuck is designed for patients with minimal excess skin and fat located primarily below the belly button. It involves a smaller incision and focuses on tightening the lower abdomen, making it a less invasive option with a quicker recovery.

• Extended Tummy Tuck: For patients with excess skin and fat that extends beyond the abdomen to the flanks or lower back, an extended tummy tuck may be recommended. This procedure addresses both the abdomen and surrounding areas for a more comprehensive contouring result.

‍• Tummy Tuck with Liposuction: Many patients choose to combine a tummy tuck with liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits and enhance overall body contouring. Liposuction is often used to sculpt the waistline, hips, and flanks for a more balanced and defined shape.

What to Expect from Your Tummy Tuck Journey

‍‍

1. Consultation & 3D Preview: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where we evaluate your abdominal area, listen to your concerns, and discuss your goals. Using Adoreal’s 3D visualization technology, we’ll create a realistic preview of how your abdomen will look after a tummy tuck, allowing you to visualize the transformation and feel confident in your decision.

2. Customized Surgical Plan: Every tummy tuck procedure is tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you need muscle repair, skin removal, or a combination of procedures, we’ll create a personalized plan that ensures natural-looking, long-lasting results.

3. Minimally Invasive Techniques: On the day of surgery, we use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure a smooth recovery. Depending on your procedure, we’ll make an incision low on the abdomen, often hidden beneath the bikini line, to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the muscles.

‍4. Recovery & Aftercare: After your surgery, we provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, with full results visible after several months as the body heals and swelling subsides.

Recovery After Tummy Tuck

‍‍

• Initial Recovery: Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the days following surgery. You’ll need to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support your abdomen as it heals.

• Return to Activity: Most patients can return to light activities, such as walking, within the first 1-2 weeks. However, you’ll need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for at least 6-8 weeks.

• Long-Term Results: Full results become visible over the course of several months as swelling subsides and the tissues heal. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your new contours can last for many years.

‍• Minimized Scarring: While some scarring is inevitable, our surgeons carefully place incisions low on the abdomen, making them easy to conceal under clothing or swimwear. Scars typically fade over time, and we offer guidance on scar management to ensure they heal as discreetly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About TUMMY TUCKS

Is a tummy tuck a weight-loss procedure? 

No, a tummy tuck is not a weight-loss surgery. It is designed to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the abdominal muscles for a flatter, more toned midsection. Patients should be close to their ideal weight before undergoing a tummy tuck.

Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks? 

A tummy tuck can remove some stretch marks if they are located on the areas of skin that are being removed, typically below the belly button. However, it will not remove stretch marks that are outside this area.

How long does the recovery take? 

Initial recovery from a tummy tuck typically takes 1-2 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. Patients are encouraged to avoid strenuous activities during this period, but most can return to light work within 2 weeks.

Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures? 

Yes! A tummy tuck is often combined with other procedures like liposuction, breast lift, or fat transfer to achieve a more comprehensive body contouring result, especially in cases like a mommy makeover.

Will I lose weight after a tummy tuck? 

While a tummy tuck can remove excess skin and fat, it is not a substitute for weight loss. The primary goal is to improve the shape and contour of the abdomen, not reduce overall body weight.
