Abdominoplasty as a Surgical Procedure
The benefits of a tummy tuck are not obtained overnight, each body is different and in some patients it may take a longer time than in others. Several types of cosmetic surgery usually last between 2 and 3 hours although a partial surgery can last up to an hour and a half. Prior to surgery, careful planning of each incision is made, which will reduce the risk of visibility in the scars, although it is inevitable that these remain after the surgical procedure. Each incision that the surgeon makes is to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles to achieve the desired result. A very important factor after a plastic surgery, is the follow-up of the surgeon’s instructions once this procedure is done, I will help the patient’s rapid healing and recovery.

How are the muscles tensed?

The tummy tuck allows the surgeon to eliminate excess fat and skin that patients have as a result of significant weight loss, pregnancy and even loss of skin elasticity in older people. Once the incisions are made below and above the navel, the skin is separated from the abdominal walls, the muscles will approach the midline and then suture to give a more toned and thin appearance in the waist line.

Removal of the skin
In many opportunities the aesthetic surgery of the abdomen is accompanied by a liposuction to eliminate the bags of unwanted fat. Once the abdominal muscles have been tensed, the skin is stretched down and the excess is trimmed. It is common that after the stretch of the skin, the amount of stretch marks below the navel disappear or decrease.
