WHAT
IS AN ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK)?
Abdominoplasty,
also commonly referred to as Tummy Tuck, is a
major surgical procedure that removes excess skin
and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and
tightens the abdominal wall. Sometimes after
multiple pregnancies or weight loss, abdominal
muscles weaken, and skin in the area becomes
loose. If the patient is realistic in
expectations and prepared for the consequences of
a permanent scar and a lengthy recovery period,
then abdominoplasty may be just the answer.
An incision is
made across the lower abdomen from hipbone to
hipbone. A second incision is made around the
belly button. The skin and fat are separated from
the abdominal wall. Excess skin and fat are then
excised. The abdominal muscles are tightened by
shortening them and suturing them together. A
small incision creates a new opening for the
belly button. It is brought out through the
opening sutured to the new skin. Stretch marks
and scars may be removed during surgery.
Drains may be
placed in the skin and removed a few days later.
The drains reduce swelling by collecting excess
blood and fluid. All incisions are closed.
For
patients who are planning to lose a lot of
weight, abdominoplasty is best after the weight
is stabilized. The skin and flesh are then
sculpted to the new form. This surgery is for
sculpture, not weight loss. One of the major fat
storage areas of the body is the apron of fat
around the intestines (omentum). This fat is
located behind the abdominal wall and is not
treatable with either liposuction or
abdominoplasty. Weight loss is better done with
controlled diet and improved eating and exercise
habits, or possibly obesity surgery on the
morbidly obese. If the patient maintains a
positive caloric balance after abdominoplasty,
then the patient will regain weight. [more information]
