Slim waist is the current aesthetic trend when short shirts and crop tops are a fashion trend that many people respond to. If you don’t have the desired waistline, many people will be interested in a tummy tuck. This is a surgical contouring procedure that tightens and reshapes the abdomen.
A tummy tuck helps tighten the abdominal muscles, remove excess, sagging skin, shrink the excess, and make the bust become flatter and firmer.
A tummy tuck is for both women and men, especially those who have experienced significant weight changes such as weight loss or pregnancy.
In addition, this method is also suitable for people who have had liposuction surgery but still need an abdominoplasty, people who exercise but cannot firm their abdomen, or people with weak lower abdominal muscles.
Currently, there are two popular tummy tuck methods: mini tummy tuck and full tummy tuck. With a mini tummy tuck, the doctor will make a small incision in the lower abdomen to remove excess fat and skin. This method is only suitable for those who do not have too much fat and have fat in the navel area.
Meanwhile, a full tummy tuck is suitable for people with a lot of sagging abdominal skin and high laxity. The incision is made at the level of the lower abdomen but will be larger than a mini tummy tuck and the doctor will perform navel surgery if necessary. In addition, many people also combine liposuction and tummy tuck to achieve the best results.
After regarding 1 – 5 hours of surgery (depending on the case), the patient needs to stay overnight to be monitored. Your doctor may place a drain to remove fluid following surgery if necessary. It is normal to experience pain and discomfort during the first few weeks, so take a few days of rest.
However, doctors still encourage people having surgery to stand up and walk around the house to maintain a healthy circulatory system. For quick recovery, most vigorous activities should be limited for 6 weeks, and careful care of elastic bandages will help promote wound healing.
The effects of tummy tuck surgery are usually long-lasting, firming abdominal muscles and limiting the return of excess skin. However, pregnancy or weight gain following surgery will negatively affect the effects of a tummy tuck.
Some complications to be aware of include infection, hematoma under the skin or blood clots. In addition, a tummy tuck will leave scars, so you need to pay attention to creams or ointments that fade scars.
